If you’re delving into WordPress development, you’ve probably encountered one of the most irritating challenges: the “White Screen of Death” (WSOD).
Suddenly, your website goes blank, displaying nothing but a white screen and no error message, which can be incredibly confusing. Don’t worry! Here’s a brief guide on what leads to this issue and how to fix it.

NOTE: It’s really important to back up your site before you start making any changes. Also, think about using a staging environment while you’re developing; it can help you catch any issues before they become bigger problems.

What’s Behind the White Screen of Death?
The WSOD typically pops up because of:

• Conflicts between plugins or themes
• A memory limit that’s been maxed out
• PHP errors
• Corrupted core files Here’s a

Step-by-Step Guide to Fix It:

Step 1: Disable Plugins

• Log into your site using FTP or the File Manager in cPanel.
• Head over to /wp-content/ and rename the plugins folder to plugins_old.
• Refresh your website. If it loads up, one of the plugins is the troublemaker.
• Rename the folder back to plugins and change the name of each plugin one at a time to find the culprit.

Step 2: Switch to a Default Theme

• Navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the folder of your active theme.
• WordPress will automatically switch to a default theme like Twenty Twenty-Five.
• If your site loads, then your theme is the issue.

Step 3: Increase PHP Memory Limit

Edit the wp-config.php file and add:

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

Step 4: Enable Debugging

Add the following to wp-config.php to display errors:

define('WP_DEBUG', true); 
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true); 
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);

Step 5: Check for File Corruption

Re-upload fresh copies of wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a clean WordPress download
