For WSOD, I always recommend beginning by turning on debugging in wp-config.php:
define( 'WP_DEBUG', TRUE ); define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', TRUE ); define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', TRUE ); define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', TRUE );Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Need link to a page's inner contentWhen I last looked at this seriously, some 7 years ago, I was thinking in terms of a Theme. But here is a solution that involves creating a new Template for your existing Theme.
I haven’t tried this, but it looks promising.
<?php /** * Template Name: Blank Page * */ ?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html <?php language_attributes(); ?>> <head> <meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>" /> <!-- page title, displayed in your browser bar --> <title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> | <?php is_home() ? bloginfo('description') : wp_title(''); ?></title> <!-- add feeds, pingback and stuff--> <link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11" /> <?php wp_head(); ?> </head> <body id="top"> <div class='container_wrap' id='main'> <div class='container'> <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <?php the_content(); ?> <?php endwhile; ?> <?php endif; ?> </div> <?php wp_footer(); ?> </body> </html>This was found in the comments of this post:
https://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/blank-wordpress-template-no-header-no-footer-no-sidebarIn general, this seems to be a pretty good place to start for a Google search if you want to explore other ideas:

You are more likely to get an answer there, in the plugin’s support area.

In reply to: Can't seem to keep thumbnails same size and aligned.In that case, it means that the pictures are not being display in Thumbnail size. That takes us back to the Theme.
Looking at the HTML, your Theme is /shopkeeper/. Since this is a Paid Theme from Themeforest, I am going to have to direct you to them as a “Commerical Product”:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_ProductsHere in wordpress.org support forums, we cannot test paid themes without paying for them, so it is not feasible to provide help here. Part of your payment to Themeforest covers their support.
Hope that they can help you resolve this.

In reply to: Can't seem to keep thumbnails same size and aligned.No promises, because this problem may be theme-related, but this is worth a try:
in the Admin panels, go to Settings, then Media.
Notice the checkbox “Crop thumbnail to exact dimensions (normally thumbnails are proportional)”
If you put a check in the box AND delete and re-add the Image to the Media Library, it will make your pictures line up nicely.Unfortunately, it means all pictures must be “square” (equal width and height) or they will be cropped automatically. One solution to this problem, though hardly “nice”, is to use an Image Editor to add solid colour to match the page colour to the shorter sides of the image file.
Perhaps a better approach is to fix the Theme so that “Align Bottom” is set in the HTML.
Again, these are just ideas.

In reply to: Jetpack pluginBefore you give up on Jetpack, you may want to try it with all the options turned off except Site Stats. I’ve never heard of performance problems when it is run that way.
As I say, I’m not an Apple guy, but I can say that XAMPP is a great alternative to MAMP if you ever run into difficulties with MAMP that you cannot fix.
I’ve used XAMPP in Windows a lot, and it runs on Linux and OS X, too.

In reply to: Need link to a page's inner contentPlease don’t reject the notion so easily. For example, here is an iframe plugin that:
Hide areas of the layout to give the iframe more space
Show only specific areas of the iframe when the iframe is on a same domainhttps://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-iframe/
I am suggesting this approach as I cannot think of any way, without PHP skills, to get rid of the sidebars, headers and footers.

In reply to: Site does not loadIf you wait long enough, you eventually get a 500 Internal Server Error.
You really need to be talking to your web hosting support folks, as they can at least see what is going on to create the long pause before the error. At the same time, you can get the credentials that you need to use FTP from them.

In reply to: Need link to a page's inner contentWithout PHP skills, you are limited to finding a Plugin to do the job for you.
I’d start with this search:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=iframeAs with all searches for plugins, I would recommend that you use a test WordPress site so that you can install a lot of plugins and test them to find the one that works best for you.
