Blank page, refresh issue? (19 posts)

    Hey friends, I have an issue with http://www.thebluntprophet.com. It seems that I always have to reload the page for any grapics to come up. It does NOT matter which template/theme I use. I haven't had this problem on http://www.sniderz.com or http://www.hereticsguild.com which is on the same server. I am very stumped and hope that someone can help me out here.

    Thanks

    what is "vslider"? and "post-slider"? these might be your issue, though i haven't checked the other two sites to see if you're using them there... thebluntprophet takes forever to load up the first time as it is... however without refreshing (just waiting) the images finally showed up on the first shot.

    on second notice - the other two sites are taking forever to load up as well - and i'm on a cable connection... over a minute and counting right now...

    I have noticed that also with the server. I am in talks with the ost now to move them to a newer server etc.

    vslider and postslider are part of the themes I use now for bluntprophet. SO as I said any theme it seems to do this for me.

    At least it showed for you now.

    I couldn't even wait for the sites to appear... way too slow, all of them. At this moment I wouldn't worry about anything else: just get a normal, faster host.
    (lady seems to be more patient: I don't wait a minute or more just to see a site, sorry!)

    http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.thebluntprophet.com/?p=3

    related to your <head> tags in your single page views. Might want to fix that, as thats going to be the first thing to lad into the browser window.

    Yosemite I installed this plugin right away. Still getting it as far as I can tell.

    Whooami -

    I don't think the head thingy is causing the problem, I'm experiencing the same problem and don't know how to fix it either.

    Do you have your site hosted with Dreamhost by any chance? I was searching for similar topics and found someone with the same problem, he was hosting his blog on Dreamhost, just as I am.

    I can't re-create this with FF 1.5.0.4... I just don't see the problem you describe.

    nfm I am on Dreamhost for my hosting. I have had another blog though with wordpress that I thought worked. Its been a while though. I will send them a help ticket now.

    Yosemite - basically what happens is when you click the link or type it in, it just shows up as a white page. Then you hit refresh and BAM it shows just fine.
    The coworker right next to me just experienced it.

    Just submitted a site ticket. Hopefully its something they can take care of since most people are not seeing it happening or do not know what the error is.

    Found that its a problem with the wp-cache plugin and PHP5.

    You need to do the following to the wp-cache-phase2.php file.

    Find: ob_end_clean()

    Replace with: ob_end_flush()

    It seems to be working. Will check back with you all if you need any more help.

    Ahh yes. Another good reason to read all the comments at the plugin author's page. I learned that the hard way...

    FINALLY!!!! There are so many posts about the blank page issue and I've been searching for a solution for a week now. This one did it!

    Thanks you thebluntprophet!

    Hmm, I'm still having this problem with a pretty much standard WordPress 2.1.2 one-click installation on Dreamhost (only added the K2 theme). I checked the 'wp-cache-phase2.php' file, and found no 'ob_end_clean()' but only 'ob_end_flush()' in the 2.1.2 code.

    WordPress is really slow the first time I try to load my site. I tested with iwebtool and got these load time results from three sites of mine, all on the same Dreamhost hardware: WordPress 75,61 seconds, Drupal 0.92 seconds, Joomla 2.03 seconds. The next time around (a few seconds later), the results were WordPress 0.53 seconds, Drupal 1.22 seconds, Joomla 3.56 seconds.

    Not being an expert at all, it seems to be a cache generation issue of some sort. Every WordPress page will take ages to load on my site, where after they are blazingly fast. But after a while, the load time will be 60+ seconds again..

    I'm not using wp-cache at the moment, since it just seemed to make matters worse. Please help me if you can.
