    thanks for letting me know, and sorry that you site is down.

    you site is on a very old version of PHP, which became end of life 3 years ago.

    The first thing I would do is contact your host provider, and get them to upgrade your php version to a 7.x

    That will fix it, but alternately you can disable my plugin (which you hoster should also be able to do for you) see

    https://thethemefoundry.com/blog/wordpress-white-screen-of-death/

    and follow scenario 1.

    once you have deleted my plugin (don’t worry you won’t lose any settings), then your wordpress will reappear, and you can download version 3.7.2 of my plugin and install it. This new version will work with old php versions.

    Thank you so much for your help – I deleted it through ftp, reinstalled the plugin and it’s working now 🙂
    Have a nice day!

    great – glad you are fixed.

    You should upgrade your php as well – that version is no longer supported, so secutory fixes are not applied to it.
