    I guess that there is no error log/log in WP?

    It would be handy to help diagnose problems such as WSoD.

    The White Screen of Death is usually caused by a plugin or theme function.

    Rename the plugins directory temporarily… try again. If you still get the WSoD then rename the active theme’s directory to cause WordPress to use a default theme. Twenty Seventeen is a good default theme to keep around but any of the ‘Twenty’ series of themes should work.

    Unless your core is corrupt you should be able to get in now.

    Error logs should be on your server. If you need help locating them, ask your hosting provider to help you with that.

    FYI, in WP 5.1, there will be WSOD protection.

    You can also set WP_DEBUG to ‘true’ in your wp-config.php file to see errors on the screen. Just remember to change it back to false when you’re done.

    define('WP_DEBUG', true);
