# Website keeps loading infinitely

 * Our website worked last night and stayed untouched. This morning, it won’t load–
   it simply has a blank white screen and I can see Chrome loading status icon going
   in circles. I can access the admin panel just fine, however.
 * I’ve disabled ALL plugins to no avail. Then, switched theme to “twentytwelve”
   and it loads fine. The WP is currently at version 3.5.1. I think this is a theme
   issue, but don’t know where else to look. Any ideas for further troubleshooting
   this problem?

 * Then the issue is in your theme. Try checking your site’s error logs for a specific
   error message. Your host should be able to help you in accessing your site’s 
   error logs.

 * The first thing I would do is check the functions.php file in the theme.
 * Check and make sure that there is no blank space at the very top before the opening
   <?php tag.
 * If you have a closing ?> at the end of your theme, then remove it.
 * Next, just go through the functions.pho with a fine tooth comb and look for anything
   strange.

 * Esmi has a good point.. the error_logs file is a great place to look. I always
   forget that…
    Thanks Esmi.

 * Thank you. I will try to retrieve the error_logs from our admins.

 * Website is back after removing the following from the header.php file:
 * <meta name=”expires” content=”Sat, 01 Jan 2000″>
 * I am not sure if that is related, but just after I removed that snippet, the 
   website came back. Also, my widgets were screwed up–some had gone missing. I 
   imagine this is due to enabling/disabling plugins. This is a very strange issue
   and I am tempted to say it may happen again. For now, it has been resolved.
