Site has completely stopped loading? (35 posts)

    No matter what I do, my site no longer loads.

    All of a sudden, out of nowhere about a day ago this happened. Since then, I've tried moving hosts and it still didn't work, so that's when I concluded that it had something to do with wordpress, as my forum has always worked, no problem.

    If the site doesn't load like that then it could be a configuration file issue. H ave you changed any settings in the config file lately?

    I would also turn on error reporting. I wrote an article on how to do it at display errors in php

    We had this exact problem about a month ago. Have you had any server updates recently?

    We had a server upgrade and one of our plugins bust the site causing it not to load, just a plain white page like you get.

    Try going to your phpmyadmin and turning off all the plugins manually. If the site comes back, turn them on one by one and you may find whats busted.

    Sorry I didn't reply sooner, the forum here was down.

    I'll try that, and reply as quickly as possible. I'm desperate to fix this, haha.

    Edit: Wattzy, I'm completely confused as to what your guide is telling me to do.

    Okay, I'm in phpMyAdmin, how do I turn off plugins? Completely lost here, I just see a bunch of SQL stuff. Nothing relating to plugins at all, really.

    Edit:

    Found out how to disable plugins, disabled them all, getting the same thing.

    1. Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
    define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');
    
    2. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
    If your line shows 32M try 64M:
    memory_limit = 64M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (64MB)
    
    3. If you don't have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an .htaccess file:
    php_value memory_limit 64M
    
    4. Talk to your host.

    I did 1 and 3. Nothing changed.

    Don't know where php.ini is located, so I couldn't edit that. I also don't know how my host would help, as I've completely changed hosts from one to another and I'm still getting the same problem.

    This is happening again.

    Right after I updated to 3.0.1.

    are you Twenty Ten or some other theme?

    If you are using theme other than Twenty ten:

    To find any theme-specific problem, just access your server via FTP or SFTP, navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename every directory except the /default/ directory. This will force the Default theme to activate.

    I renamed my folders and reloaded, but still a white page when I go to my site.

    Once again, this is important.

    Try manually resetting your plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    It's already at that.

    Try downloading WordPress again and delete then replace your copies of everything except the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies from the download.

    And we have no such luck on anything changing.

    Completely rebuilding the site from the ground up on another host.

    Install a new copy of WordPress in a new directory (new directory, new files, new database) and see if you have the same problem.

    I don't.

    You may need to repair the database.

    Access your WordPress database via phpMyAdmin (most hosting providers offer this in their control panel), check all of the tables, and choose "Repair tables" from the pull-down menu.

    Ok, running out of ideas. Let me just run down what I think you've done so far, just in case we did miss something.

    1. You manually reset your plugins. No change.

    2. You accessed your server via FTP or SFTP, navigated to /wp-content/themes/ and renamed the directory of your currently active theme to force the Default theme (WordPress 1.5 - 2.9.2) or the Twenty Ten theme (WordPress 3.0 and higher) to activate. No change.

    3. You downloaded WordPress again and deleted then replaced your copies of everything except the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies from the download. No change.

    4. You repaired the database. No change.

    5. You attempted increase memory by all four methods listed above, including contacting your hosting provider. No change.

    6. You installed a fresh test blog which worked perfectly.

    Is this an accurate list?

    Yep. Done all of it, no change.

    Images in the same directory as the wordpress files and such still load, so I know for a fact it's something with wordpress.

    I thought maybe permissions got screwed up and nothing could read the files, but that's not the case.
