I web-searched portions of the code and started to come to the same conclusion. * As described, I have deleted my entire blog, changed the passwords, and uploaded a clean WP install. For now, the site is working. Hopefully, there isn’t a hidden hacked file somewhere else I don’t know about. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [White Screen Returns on Save Draft, Preview, Commenting](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/white-screen-returns-on-save-draft-preview-commenting/) * Thread Starter [jd99](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jd99/) * (@jd99) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/white-screen-returns-on-save-draft-preview-commenting/page/2/#post-3815077) * New item: I downloaded the old wp-config prior to overwriting it, and it had new code at the top. It was a 2500 character php line that started and ended like this: * ``` ``` * Anybody know what that is? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [White Screen Returns on Save Draft, Preview, Commenting](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/white-screen-returns-on-save-draft-preview-commenting/) * Thread Starter [jd99](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jd99/) * (@jd99) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/white-screen-returns-on-save-draft-preview-commenting/#post-3815076) * In a predictable fashion, my blog will work perfectly fine, and then a few hours later I will return to it and as soon as I try to do anything like preview a post, approve a comment, etc, I get a white screen.

I’ve tried uploading them in different orders, but until I get all of the files uploaded, I continue to get the error. The site will continue to work perfectly until I come back to it a few hours later. * The only plug in I have operating is akismet. I have a twentytwelve-child running with no changes to those files and very few modifications themselves. * Any help would be appreciated, as re-uploading the blog every few hours is unsustainable. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [White Screen Returns on Save Draft, Preview, Commenting](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/white-screen-returns-on-save-draft-preview-commenting/) * Thread Starter [jd99](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jd99/) * (@jd99) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/white-screen-returns-on-save-draft-preview-commenting/#post-3815044) * The site continues to break (white screen as above) for a reason I can’t explain. It isn’t immediate, because I walk away from a working site and come back to a broken one. I’m not sure if its time or some action being taken. This last time, when I couldn’t leave a comment without getting a white screen, uploading the root files didn’t help, but the includes files did. I can’t conceive a rhyme or reason for why different files fix it different times. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Warning: Headers Already Sent, reference line](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-headers-already-sent-reference-line/) * Thread Starter [jd99](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jd99/) * (@jd99) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-headers-already-sent-reference-line/#post-3811300) * This problem continues to repeat; I inadvertently started a second thread on this topic here: * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/white-screen-returns-on-save-draft-preview-commenting](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/white-screen-returns-on-save-draft-preview-commenting) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [White Screen Returns on Save Draft, Preview, Commenting](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/white-screen-returns-on-save-draft-preview-commenting/) * Thread Starter [jd99](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jd99/) * (@jd99) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/white-screen-returns-on-save-draft-preview-commenting/#post-3814995) * Six hours after having a working blog, I reattempted one thing: saving a test draft blog.
