   I have set up many wordpress installs for myself and other people but today I have tried to set up a testing install on a directory off one of my sites. I have managed to install WordPress and use the dashboard and write posts but when i go to preview or view site it just shows up as a white blank screen. When I try to preview themes or posts this happens too! When I type in the web address this happens too but I can manage to get to the login screen though if I add /wp-admin to the address. I am completely baffled because I don't know if this is a wordpress problem,hosting problem, browser problem or MySQL problem.

   I am using a 1and1 MySQL database and hosting which I have been using for years but have never experienced this problem before.

   assuming you deactivated all plugins and then tested - try

   1. Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
   Increasing memory allocated to PHP
   define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');

   2. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
   If your line shows 32M try 128M:
   memory_limit = 128M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (128MB)

   3. If you don't have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an .htaccess file:
   php_value memory_limit 128M

   Talk to your host.

   I have tried steps 1 and 2 but to no avail. I will have to speak to the hosts but I'm not holding out much hope. Thanks for the advice
