    Quick Backstory. Last week I got wpfolio up and running. I messed up my URL which made everything white so ended up unistalling and reinstalling all of wordpress from my GoDaddy host. Went to activate wpFolio again and bam, everything white again. I uninstalled and reinstalled wordpress again. I activated wordpress classic and wordpress default which work fine. Before trying wpFolio again, I hit the preview button and it just shows a white screen. What is going on? I really want to use wpFolio. I have nothing I need saved so starting from scratch is perfectly fine..but I ‘thought’ I had tried that. Any help is really appreciated.

    Thanks all

  • Just a quick question, the previous two times that you wiped out the installation, did you try to activate the default theme again afterwards?

    If you do, and that works, stop wiping the install, it’s clearly the theme that’s the problem and it’ll save you a lot of time.

    Well I didn’t activate the default theme. It already comes activated. So yes, that worked. Then I activated the ‘classic theme’ and that worked. The reason I think it’s not the themes problem, is that it worked a few days ago until I changed my URL in general settings which made me unable to log in to my wp-admin. And now it seems if I activate it again or ever preview it, I get the same problem. (everything being white). Just seems like a big coincidence. And thousands of people are using that theme with no problems..I think?

    OK I got it. I went in to themes. I deleted it out of the “available themes” area. Then went and added a new theme..searched for it and downloaded it again. Seems to work now. man..I am struggling to get my blog/site up and rolling. Thanks

    I meant did you try to activate the default theme again once you realised that WPFolio had messed it up (Before wiping the whole install).

    Anyway, that doesn’t matter, I just installed it and it works fine for me? Out of interest, how did you install WP? Was it from the downloaded zip, or does GoDaddy have one of those auto installer things?
