   I recently discovered a bug/ an issue when you have Jetpack installed and the Sharing buttons enabled and have the Google+ button on your post. If you have all these enabled, and then go to a post and add "?share=google-plus-1" to the URL, you get a blank white page.

   Here is example page on my site:
   http://techtalk.virendrachandak.com/how-to-make-wordpress-menu-item-open-in-new-window-tab/?share=google-plus-1

   However, if I try a URL with any other sharing service name, it redirect to the correct sharing service.
   http://techtalk.virendrachandak.com/how-to-make-wordpress-menu-item-open-in-new-window-tab/?share=facebook
   http://techtalk.virendrachandak.com/how-to-make-wordpress-menu-item-open-in-new-window-tab/?share=twitter

   This issue is occurring on all posts when we add the "?share=google-plus-1" to the URL.

   When I tried to debug this, i disabled all plugin and enable each plugin 1 by 1. I found that when I have Jetpack + Sharing enabled and have Google+ button in sharing the issue occurs. If I even remove the Google+ button from sharing I no longer have the issue.

   Can you check your error logs and see if there is an error related to this when you visit that URL?

   Unfortunately, there are no errors in the error log. Earlier I had a plugin "WP-HTML-Compression" enabled which was giving 500 errors as below. But when I disabled the plugin I don't get any errors, I only get a blank white page.

   [02-Aug-2012 01:49:13] PHP Catchable fatal error:  Method WP_HTML_Compression::__toString() must return a string value in /wp-includes/functions.php on line 2494
   [02-Aug-2012 01:49:13] PHP Catchable fatal error:  Method WP_HTML_Compression::__toString() must return a string value in Unknown on line 0

   I also tried, enabling the default "Twenty Eleven" theme, and the problem was still there.

   Also, I tried installing a fresh WordPress and just adding jetpack to it and goolge+1 and facebook sharing buttons and tried to add the similar parameters to the URL and I still get a white page, without any error logs.

   I also tested it on few other blogs that use the social sharing buttons and see that even they have the same error.
   Example URL from Tim Moore's blog:

   I did a little debugging into the code and I think I may have found the problem. Let me know if I should post the problem here or I should email it to someone.

   The best idea is to submit the debugging at the following link and also send a link to this thread:

   Thanks :)
