Most of the time when there’s a blank or white page, it’s a corrupted upload. Can you check your server’s error logs to see if there’s any clues there?

Here are a few other things to check to try to isolate the problem:

1. Disable all plugins. (Since you can’t access the admin panel, just go to your cPanel file manager or FTP and rename the plugins folder to something else temporarily, fooling WP into thinking there is no plugins folder.) If your blog springs to life, you know one (or more) of your plugins is stinking up the pond.

2. Check your .htaccess file. Rename it to hide it and see if the blog returns. If so, .htaccess is somehow the culprit.

HTH.

Can you view the images on the server when you type their paths into the address bar? (In other words, make sure they’re where they are supposed to be so WP can find them.)

And when they rotate, do they rotate via Flash or on page refresh?

On second thought, it might be too late for this, but consider using WPMU (WordPress Multi User) for multiple blogs. It powers sites such as these:

https://blogs.bgsu.edu/
http://www.wannanetwork.com/
http://foreignpolicyblogs.com/

They allow the blogs to be featured on the site’s front page and you can have a subdomain structure for each blog; e.g., blog.mydomain.com.

HTH.

That’s quite commonly done these days (lucky you!) with category calls. You’ll need to decide which categories you want to appear on the front page and find their ID numbers. Hover your mouse over the category in the category listing in the WP Dashboard. You’ll want to write down the ID numbers of the categories you want displayed on that front page.

Then you’ll design a box or section for each category. For each category, you’ll use this code or similar:

<?php $cat1 = new WP_Query('cat=75&showposts=1'); ?>
<?php if($cat1->have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while($cat1->have_posts()) : $cat1->the_post(); ?>
<h3 class="cattitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"
rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<div class="meta"><?php the_date(); ?> <span class="edit"><?php
edit_post_link('[Edit]'); ?></span></div>
<?php
  $excerpt = get_the_excerpt();
  echo string_limit_words($excerpt,20);
?><br /><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><strong>More &raquo;</strong></a>
<?php endwhile; ?>

You’ll make one, possibly two, changes. First:

<?php $cat1 = new WP_Query('cat=75&showposts=1'); ?>

Change cat=75 to whatever category you want.

Second, you may not want to limit the number of words:
echo string_limit_words($excerpt,20);

So you can either change the value 20 to something else or remove it completely, like this:
echo string_limit_words($excerpt);

You’ll notice some styling hooks in there, class cattitle and others. Feel free to change those around according to your style/design.

Also, for each category you want to appear on the front page, you just change $cat1 to $cat2, etc. for as many categories as you want appearing on the front page.

Hope this helps!

I’m a visual person. Can I get an URL?

Well I think the OP is talking about his theme operating the way Chris Pearson’s Thesis theme does. He uses custom functions.php and style.css files housed in the /custom/ subfolder of the theme files and they are preserved.

First, the theme’s home.php template is calling for a function (viva) that doesn’t exist. Also its single post template is calling for a function (vz_inloop) that doesn’t exist. Comment those out or delete them and see if the problem goes away. Which theme is it, BTW?

I was just going to suggest commenting that out. We have developed a few sites in Serbian (Cyrillic rather than Latin Serbian) and I had a devil of a time until I figured that out also. I wonder if the devs shouldn’t think about putting a comment in the code to that effect.
