Dashboard Works, Source Code Shows, Site is Blank

    Moved a test site today from our company to go live for our client, both sites on Bluehost.

    You can see the test site here: rw21sitebuild2.com

    I’ve done this before and never had this issue (in fact, just did it a few weeks ago for another client, same situation). The dashboard works and everything is showing correctly including all pages, posts, plugins, media, settings, SEO, etc. But the website shows the white screen of death! The source code shows a site and there is even a scroll bar too. But no content, no images, nothing. I am beyond frustrated and cannot find an answer.

    The error log shows a PHP code problem – but I can’t seem to fix it, and while the error shows in the other site, it still works fine??

    If it works, this would be the new site: pizzayourway.com

    Thanks in advance for helping me with this headache. I really hope I just forgot a tiny detail and it can be fixed easily!

    When I go to
    http://pizzayourway.com/
    I see a coming soon page with a email.

    It’s hard to see what you’re seeing with that coming soon page up there.

    Im seeing a blank page in your http://pizzayourway.com/
    however the http://pizzayourway.com/wp-admin is showing the login page.

    Have you tried reinstalling the template you are using?

    This is the error:

    PHP Strict Standards: Only variables should be passed by reference in /home3/pizzayou/public_html/wp-content/themes/malibu/includes/extras.php on line 429

    Sorry Christine, I deactivated the “coming soon” plugin so you can see the blank page now.

    I’ve also deactivated all the plugins.

    Find the line 429 in your extras.php and post it here.

    That is the funny thing – line 429 is blank.

    I don’t know php that well, but I can see that it is the function to get the post attachment.

    Here are lines 428-430:

    foreach ( $ids as $id ) {

            if ( $url == array_shift( wp_get_attachment_image_src( $id, 'full' ) )) {

    I just checked and rw21sitebuild2.com shows the error at line 430, so either way, it is something with this particular function. Perhaps when I was editing it I added or deleted a space that caused the error to move?

    Deleted the theme, activated twentyfifteen theme. Zipped the theme from rw21sitebuild2.com and uploaded it and everything worked?!

    Thanks for the help.
