OK, the white page is often the result of a little bit of code being wrong in either the config.php file or the functions.php (in theme).

I’ve actually found that it’s sometimes due to an extra RETURN at the end of either of those files.

Are all plugins turned off?

Have you reverted TwentyEleven theme?

FTP in and delete the Total W3 Cache plugin from wp-content/plugins/ folder.

If that doesn’t do it, make a duplicate of the plugins folder and delete all plugins, then start adding them in one at a time until it fails again. Then you’ll know which is causing the problem.

Also, could be a problem in your theme. If the plugins stuff doesn’t fix it, switch to TwentyEleven.

And it never hurts to reinstall WordPress from scratch. Sometimes an update results in a file that’s not quite right.

OK, so you want a hook or two to remove the header image and then add new code to embed the SWF there?
Not sure how to do that.

I’m not real clear on what you’re trying to do. There should be no need to activate NextGen in template files UNLESS you want the gallery to show up outside the loop.

To put a gallery in a post or page, you just use the shortcode as outlined here:
http://nextgen-gallery.com/gallery-page/nggallery/page-2/

Once NextGen is installed and activated as a plugin, you can drag a widget to any active sidebar.

I tend to use the NextGen Smooth plugin and here’s how I implemented in a modified TwentyTen theme. The following goes in the header.php and replaces TwentyTen’s header image — on the home page only — with a Smooth Gallery of the same size. This code should work fine with NextGen by itself.

And now that I look at, I wonder why the shortcode works within PHP and outside the loop. Hmmm.

<?php
// Check if this is a post or page, if it has a thumbnail, and if it's a big one
	if ( is_front_page() ) :
  $homeslides = "[smooth=id: 1; width:940; height:198; timed:true; arrows:false; carousel:false; links:false; info:false; align:center; frames:true; delay:9000; transition:fade;]";
  smooth_show($homeslides);
  elseif ( is_singular() &&
							has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) &&
							( /* $src, $width, $height */ $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'post-thumbnail' ) ) &&
							$image[1] >= HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH ) :
						// Houston, we have a new header image!
						echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'post-thumbnail' );
					else : ?>
						<img src="<?php header_image(); ?>" width="<?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH; ?>" height="<?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT; ?>" alt="" />
					<?php endif; ?>

Can’t find it. Giving up for the night.

I think you should ask the plugin developer how to delete that path.

So you moved the database and it includes the path:
/home/fhlinux008/e/exercisesupplies.co.uk/user/htdocs/comparison/external.php
?
Which refers to the old host “fasthost”?

So to fix, you could uninstall the plugin and ensure that all references to it are deleted from database. Then reinstall and it *should* rebuild the path with the new server info.
Alternatively, talk to the host again (I know they’ve not been helpful but be patient) and ask them what the path should be. Then search the database and replace the path with the correct one.

Do you have cPanel access? Can you check there if PHP is in fact running? If it’s PHP5?
Is your site visible at all? Just admin pages are the problem?
What’s the URL?
