WordPress as Blank Page after BlueHost changed PHP version

  • Hello everyone,

    I can′t access my wordpress page so I have no idea what version I′m running, my last version check was like 2 months ago and since then I haven′t been able to access it due to limited internet.

    I have received some emails from my host BlueHost letting me know that they will be upgrading PHP version and that was it until today that I was able to visit my wordpress site finding out that it show a blank page. Later on went to my bluehost Cpanel to check any change and indeed PHP 5.4 is selected automatically by them. There are other options that can be selected like 5.2, 5.2 (single php.ini), 5.2 (FastCGI) and the same for 5.4 Mine is 5.4 flat.

    Went to FTP to check my .htaccess file and it says at the top “# Use PHP54 as default”…so i don′t understand.

    I think I would need some help please.

    Thanks.

  • The first thing you should try is to edit your wp-config.php file, located at the root of your installation, and set WP_DEBUG to true (around line 93) as follow:

    define('WP_DEBUG', true);

    You should then see some PHP errors on your website, instead of the blank page, to help you debug the problem

    Thanks for posting Polychrome,

    I′ll try your suggestion after I thought it was fixed when I manually changed the php version into 5.2 but it seems bluehost puts it back into 5.4

    The wordpress version is 3.8.1
