    Hi,

    I need some urgent help with the above – for some reason my Home Page has stopped working. Every other page works fine.

    I was originally editing a separate template that had nothing to do with the Home Page/Front Page. Now all of a sudden it doesn’t connect.

    Every other page works fine

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Side note: Don’t use Everything WordPress for Fixing WordPress topics. I’ve moved your new topic too.

    Are you getting any error messages on your site? The site is coming up blank for me but your server error log may have an explanation.

    Hi, Jan.

    Apologies! Wasnt sure were to place it, panicked a little lol.

    If you view the homepage from IE it reads the below;

    The website cannot display the page – HTTP 500

    Most likely causes:
    – The website is under maitenance.
    – The website has a programming error.

    Silly question – how do I access my server error log?

    Errors like this are logged. Check the error log on your server. If you can’t find the log, please contact your host.

    Meantime, enable wp_debug and wp_debug_log and after an error, look at wp-content/debug.log to see if anything gets logged there. https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress

    You can also try this: Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.

    If you cannot access wp-admin, there are other ways to deactivate plugins.

    Thanks for the help, you guys are a great community!

    It turns out I accidentally deleted two characters from my front-page.php template without noticing …

    This was my code at the top.

    <em><?php
get_header();
$backgroundimg = retina_image(get_field('header_image'), 'full', '', TRUE);</em>

    As you can see I was missing the “?>” at the end of the above code. Which was the cause of my front page not displaying.

    Thanks again for the help, and sorry for mucking you around!
