Blank white screen

    My wordpress site has gone completely blank. I’m running it on a local MAMP server. I think it happened once I activated a new theme. Is there a way to return to the default WP theme through the MAMP server somehow?(as backend/admin part of WP site is also blank). Someone suggested deleting/renaming the new theme from the server but neither of these worked. Just wondered if there is some other way to do it?

    Thanks
    Alex

    If deleting the new theme from the server hasn’t worked then the problem may be being caused by a plugin conflict. Locate the folder wp-content/plugins and rename the Plugin folder plugins_old. This will deactivate all of your Plugins. Let me know if you still see the blank screen after this.

    Also, you can refer the “The White Screen of Death” section on the Codex’s Common WordPress Errors page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Common_WordPress_Errors

    Also try checking your site’s error logs for messages. That’s often the fastest way to find out where the problem is – especially on a local server.

    Thanks – had a look at error log in the end after trying first couple of suggestions without much success. Error log showed there were a couple of files within the theme I’d created that should have been in the ‘inc’ folder but weren’t. Many thanks for your time and help.
