* Activating the Gutenberg Tile Block plugin v1.0.7 causes a wordpress white screen
of death on the public-facing side of the site. WP-Admin is still accessible.
* Twenty Sixteen Child Theme
* Other plugins activated:
Advanced Gutenberg Akismet Anti-Spam Atomic Blocks
Blackhole for Bad Blocks Block Bad Queries Disable Emojis (GDPR friendly) Gutenberg
Meks Easy Maps Permalinks Moved Permanently Regenerate Thumbnails Statify Tiled

* Hello there!
* Unfortunately, I am not able to replicate the problem you’re experiencing on
WP 4.9.8, GB 3.9.0, and Tile Block 1.0.7 (& activating most of the plugins you
listed). I’m happy to help, but I will just need your help to find the issue.
* Could you please:
* * check your server/apache/PHP error log after it white screens on front end.
look for php errors
* turn on WP_DEBUG in wp-config.php, refresh front end and
see if any errors are output * switch to a twenty-* theme to see if the theme
is the issue * disabled all other plugins one-by-one, refreshing front end to
see if theres a plugin conflict
* _(& a friendly reminder to always back up andor use a development version of
your site before troubleshooting!)_

* I don’t have access to the server logs (it’s a CPanel site) but I’ve tried your
other suggestions. Having only this plugin, the site loads. With both Gutenberg(
3.9) and this plugin activated, I get the WSOD. Here’s all that is loaded in
the browser:
*
(function(html){html.className = html.className.replace(/\bno-js\b/,’
js’)})(document.documentElement); trevormeier.com //
* Interestingly, if I turn on WP_DEBUG, the site loads with all plugins enabled.
* The site is already using the Twenty Sixteen theme.
