How To Fix WordPress White Screen Of Death On Hostinger

Introduction

A white screen issue in WordPress, often referred to as the “White Screen of Death,” can occur due to PHP errors, insufficient memory limits, outdated PHP versions, or theme and plugin conflicts. When this issue appears, your website may load as a blank page without any error message, making it difficult to identify the root cause. On Hostinger, resolving this issue involves enabling WordPress debug mode, adjusting PHP configuration settings, and ensuring your themes and system settings are up to date. In this guide, you’ll learn how to enable debugging through the wp-config.php file, increase PHP execution time and memory limits, update the PHP version, and refresh WordPress settings. Following these steps helps accurately diagnose and fix the white screen issue while restoring your website’s functionality.
