    Website has been great and working totally fine for years. We are looking to implement a blog. I created the page, changed the post page, changed the menu appearance, and created posts. Now, when I go to the blog page either from our home page or URL, the page is completely blank. Even when logged into WP the little black bar that is usually at the top for quick editing does not exist on this page.

    Thank you for any help and let me know if there is more information needed.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    The white screen indicates a server-side error. Take a look at the article here:

    Thank you. Won’t deactivating and reactivating my plugins break the site though? No new themes were added, we have been using the same custom theme since inception.

    If a plugin affects the whole page in such a way that it is no longer executable, you should of course deactivate the plugin. Sometimes it helps to reactivate the guilty plugin. If not, you have to leave it deactivated for now and contact the developer of the plugin. As long as you do not uninstall a plugin via the uninstall routine, the settings of the plugin should still be available in the page, so that they are used again when reactivated.

    If you are unsure about the whole procedure, create a backup beforehand. A regular backup is an urgent recommendation anyway. If you don’t have one yourself and are unsure if and how to create one, talk to your hoster’s support about this – most hosters have regular backups of web projects available. If not, you can find a selection of plugins that can help with backups here: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/search/backup/

    Ok thank you. I have backups, so I will just go the deactivate/reactivate route and if anything breaks I will revert back.

    Activate the debug mode as described in the article above. This would write a log file in which the cause should be recognizable. This link can be found in the article:
