Individual posts not loading

    Hi there,

    For some reason, individual posts on my self-hosted wordpress site are not showing. If I go to the main URL, you can see the posts, but once you click a post it shows a blank page.

    I tried disabling third party plugins but that didn’t help (didn’t actually install any ones recently anyway). One thing that did happen a few days back is that my host somehow did not extend my domain name so my site was offline for about 13 hours. Not sure if that matters.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Martijn.

    @martijnboersma Its called the ‘White Screen of Death’ in WordPress Lingo.

    While the name may sound intimidating, the solution is pretty straight forward. Let’s start with increasing PHP memory limit:

    #Connect to your server via FTP or File Manager in your Web Host control panel and locate wp-config.php file. Paste the following code before the line that says ‘That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging.’:

    define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );
    Save changes and reload.

    Let me know if it works 🙂

    Thanks Kuldeep.

    I made those changes in control panel first (which didn’t make a difference) and then by editing my wp-config.php file. That also didn’t work.

    Is there another reason

    Since you mention memory, when I went to control panel I noticed that my data usage is maxed out at 100% (1.1gb). Could that be the reason it isn’t loading?

    Hi,

    Just a suggestion.. Perhaps you can contact your web hosting and ask them about this issue, maybe they are able to identify the cause and fixed it.

    Besides memory, it could also mean some plugin conflicts to me. If increasing memory does not solve this issue, then you may want to deactivate some of your plugins and see if the blog post loads.

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks Raytan, I have lodged a ticket with my web host to see what’s up.

    I already disabled all plugins, but this didn’t seem to make a difference.

    Cheers

    Hi Raytan,

    I disabled all plugins once more and then the issue seemed to be resolved.

    I then activated them one by one, and found that one particular plugin was the issue.

    So issue solved 🙂

    Sorry for that @martijnboersma

    Yeah some plugin was maxing out your memory usage. White screen occurs when something kills the script before it loads. Here is more on this: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-the-wordpress-white-screen-of-death/

    Glad it was sorted 🙂
