 * So I got this white screen of death everybody has been talking about. The problem
   is there is no way around it. When I deleted some of the code I made sure to 
   copy just in case I deleted the wrong thing. So when I hit update went white.
   So I hit back and pasted what I copied and hit upload. White again. Went to my
   website white. I didn’t have that much completed on my website so I decided to
   uninstall wordpress and start over. Got my new password and logged in. Tried 
   to activate a one of the generic templates “selecta.” Went white again. Please
   help! I don’t do a lot of business off my site but not having one will hurt me
   especially with wedding season around the corner. Thanks all.

 * It means you had a simple mistake in .php script of plugin, firs of all you must
   check script file and correct all structural mistakes.
    Find error_reports/error_logs(
   php/apache) and find out what function or file created this white-screen this
   will greatly help with this task (there will be file and line of problem that
   broke code)

 * Thank you.
 * I figured my issue out, but only after hours of pulling my hair out. 🙂
 * The developer gave instructions on doing a “simple” edit to a core file, but 
   left off a semi-colon. I tried and tried copying and pasting all different variations
   in all different locations and finally noticed that every other line in the PHP
   ended in “;”, so I added one, and that was all it was.
 * Very frustrating. 🙁
 * I’m frustrated by other issues, too, but this is the only topic I posted (in)
   that got any responses. I was very excited about WordPress’ potential, but I’m
   about to give up.
