The "White Screen of Death" (WSoD) is usually caused by a plugin or theme conflict, or a memory limit issue. Here is how to fix it:
- Enable Debug Mode: Edit
wp-config.phpand changedefine('WP_DEBUG', false);totrue. This will show the actual error message. - Deactivate All Plugins: If you cannot access the dashboard, use File Manager to rename the
wp-content/pluginsfolder toplugins_old. If the site works, rename it back and deactivate plugins one by one. - Switch to Default Theme: Rename your active theme folder in
wp-content/themes. WordPress will fall back to a default theme like Twenty Twenty-Four. - Increase Memory Limit: Add
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');towp-config.php.
If none of these work, check the Error Log in your cPanel for more details.
