Blank page after moving WordPress from one server to another

    I set up a WordPress site inside a folder called blog on a development site. No problems there.

    I moved the WordPress site to my new server using a temporary URL with no problems.

    I then moved the WordPress site to the new server again (after deleting the temporary URL version) using the real domain name – ie I moved the files and the database and ran queries on the database so that it should work on the new URL. The live website is a static site with the blog inside a folder called blog. The static part of the site works perfectly, but when I click on the blog link (/blog) I get a blank page, and the page has no source code.

    I have been searching for things to try, and have tried things such as re-uploading files in case they were not uploaded properly, removing everything in the .htaccess file, checking for white space in the wp-config.php file, installing WordPress from scratch – in fact, I tried installing WordPress in another directory called wordpress and have the same problem. I’ve tried renaming my plugins folder, using a different theme (twentyten) – nothing seems to make any difference.

    Can anyone think of anything else which I could try? Let me know if any more information would enable you to help me with this.

    Thanks very much for any help you can give me.

  • Hey thanks for your reply Sarah,

    Turned out to be the wp-super-cache plugin that was causing my problems. What a mission though, because it wasn’t apparent even after I disabled the plugins folder to test. It was adding a line of code to my wp-config file which I had to clear before it would work.

    The dreaded white screen of death strikes again haha.

    Thanks again.

    Sazzlemajazzle, I have the exact same problem. Did you every figure out what was happening, or even better, how to fix it?

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Hi I have a little problem with a word press site which I transferred to another server. The problem is all the pages work except for the home page, which comes up as a white screen. I have tried everything and been on it for days.My site address is https://www.locksmithbeecroft.com.au
    This page is the problem as I said, but other pages such as https://www.locksmithbeecroft.com.au/about/
    are working fine.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Regards Ben

    The above problem is now fixed,when transferring from one server it included a default.html file in the directory,after deleting it,it worked fine.
