    It works like charm. I was stuck at a blank screen for about 3 days. I tried and changed more than 4 themes. The same blank screen with only words. I watched your video yesterday and followed through. Where you replace 'false' with 'true', I just removed the space and boom. My site was back. Thank thank thank so much. You make it easy and straight forward to understand. With you I hope every non techy person can become a WP pro. Thanks

    Can I use your manual method to troubleshoot a problem since upgrading to WordPress 5? My problem is when. Go to edit one of my pages, I get a white screen instead of the Gutenberg editor. I can edit the page in elementor but I would love to solve the Gutenberg issue. I tried disabling all plugins. Didn't work. Installing the classic editor did work.

    Actually, I had a problem on a client's site no later than yesterday...
    I think that what happened is that WP has auto updated to 4.9.7 and for a strange reason, it has wiped my wp-config.php file (was there, but empty)...
    Fortunately, I had a backup with the file in it, so I just copied back the content and the site was working again... Strange that it did that...
    So, always do regular backups...!

    • @WPCrafter
      @WPCrafter  6 років тому

    • @Nelmedia
      @Nelmedia 6 років тому +1

      Hmm, have iThemes installed as well... So, it might be the faulty one (instead of WP alone)... What's strange is that I updated multiple sites at the same time (with mainWP) and it's the only one who had that problem...

    • @WPCrafter
      @WPCrafter  6 років тому

      In my case, I have a complicated setup and iThemes is not smart enough to be aware. I am using Redis which requires some extra stuff in the wp-config. So after an update it just trashes it.

      @@WPCrafter That's just the thing, I don't have a back up. 😊
      I know that's going to sting you, coz I follow your tutorials and I know how much you emphasize on having a back up. But I hope it helps to know it wasn't intentional.
      The site affected is actually a subdomain and my web hosting couldn't support a back up. I tried to do it but I ended up overloading the host and affected all the other sites. So I deleted the back up. I figured since I couldn't back up, I'd just have to be really careful with the sites.
      So that's how I ended up not having a back up. Isn't there any other way? I'd hate to have to lose the site. Is it possible to revert to a former version of WordPress where the changes haven't taken effect? Or can I somehow get rid of the malware?
      I know it's a plugin that's caused the damage. It happened right after I installed it. I've gotten rid of it but the error is still there on the post.php file.
