Title: Blank Page on load Last modified: August 24, 2016 --- # Blank Page on load * [jaketovey94](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaketovey94/) * (@jaketovey94) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-blank-page-on-load/) * Hi guys, * I’ve mapped ‘oldsite’ subdomain to root directory of my 1and1 webserver so that my old site is still accesible. * Despite changing the urls on phpmyadmin it still won’t work. * I’ve tried updating the wp-config and functions.php over FTP – and I still get a blank screen. * URL is oldsite.lincsmulticlean.co.uk * interestingly i get an error if you go to the /wp-admin page instead of a blank screen. hope someone can help because the solution just doesn’t work for me! : s * Thanks Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * [Martin Robbins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/santeven/) * (@santeven) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-blank-page-on-load/#post-6175272) * You are welcome. * So your site appears OK at [http://lincsmulticlean.co.uk/](http://lincsmulticlean.co.uk/)… And the login screen seems OK at [http://lincsmulticlean.co.uk/wp-admin/](http://lincsmulticlean.co.uk/wp-admin/)… Can you login there? * > I’ve mapped ‘oldsite’ subdomain to root directory of my 1and1 webserver so > that my old site is still accesible. * Can you tell us more about your old site? Is it an html site in the same folder as your WordPress? Are you attempting to make visible both sites? * Thread Starter [jaketovey94](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaketovey94/) * (@jaketovey94) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-blank-page-on-load/#post-6175274) * I can login fine with [http://lincsmulticlean.co.uk/wp-admin](http://lincsmulticlean.co.uk/wp-admin). * Just to explain more about this. * The ‘old site’ is a WP install in the root – and the root of the domain used to point to it. I’ve created a new WP site in a subfolder and i’ve redirected the domain to look at the subfolder install instead – that works perfectly fine. * I then created the subdomain ‘oldsite’ to map to the old WP site (in the root folder) so that it’s still accessible – and that’s the one that just goes to a blank screen. * Thanks again for your help! * [Martin Robbins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/santeven/) * (@santeven) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-blank-page-on-load/#post-6175276) * > I’ve created a new WP site in a subfolder and i’ve redirected the domain to > look at the subfolder install instead * What is the subfolder name?

Copy /wp-config-sample.php to /wp-config.php … fill in the 3 or 4 database fields near the top. * Also make sure your functions.php is reverted and has no white space following the closing php tag Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) The topic ‘Blank Page on load’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [blankpage](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/blankpage/) * [change URL's](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/change-urls/) * [phpmyadmin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/phpmyadmin/) * [url](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/url/) * [wp-config](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/wp-config/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 10 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Martin Robbins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/santeven/) * Last activity: [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-blank-page-on-load/#post-6175327) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
