    Hi,

    I have an issue that I get blank pages in WordPress when I try to save a post or page. The problem is that not a single error is shown, even with debug on, so it’s impossible for me to find the exact error

    What I tried:
    – define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true); is on
    – Enabled php error reporting
    – All plugins are removed
    – Default theme is used
    – WP is up to date
    – All wordpress files are overwritten with fresh ones.
    – Same in other browsers
    – I moved this install to another server
    – On the same server are multiple WP installs that run fine.

    Any idea how to troubleshoot this?

    Some other possible ideas:

    1. Change to the default permalinks.
    2. Backup, delete and recreate the .htaccess file
    3. Have any new functions been added to the themes functions.php file – something in there could be causing this issue – I had this happen to me recently when I was testing / writing new code.

    Hi,

    thanks for the input. I tried those 3 suggestions, but remains the same 🙁

    Hmm … I’m about out of ideas – have you tried repairing the database? And maybe contacting the web host.

    I tried repair the database, but that does not change a thing.

    I contacted the host to be sure, and they can’t find any issue on the server side. Also, on the same server are multiple other WP instances that run fine, and if I move this install to a new account on another server, the issue remains.
    The host tech double checked everything, even tried different PHP versions, but issue remains.

    So, I was able to solve this :). It was a cron issue. Steps to solve:

    Stop Apache
    Restart mysql
    wp_options table: update wp_options set option_value = ” WHERE option_name = ‘cron’
    wp-config: define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘1024M’ );
    rename wp-cron.php to wp-cron.old
    Start apache
    wp_options table: update wp_options set option_value = ” WHERE option_name = ‘cron’
    Go to webpage (to trigger cron)
    rename wp-cron.old to wp-cron.php
    Go to webpage (to trigger cron)
    wp_options table: update wp_options set option_value = ” WHERE option_name = ‘cron’
