The WordPress white screen of death is one of the most common WordPress errors.  This error keeps you locked outside of WordPress.

When a script on your website gets exhausted the memory limit, you see a white screen of death.

Kinsta contributor Daniel Pataki has shared six ways to find the WordPress white screen of death.

Pataki says, “A white screen of death also might appear slightly different depending upon the browser. Here is an example in Google Chrome. It actually gives us a warning saying “This page isn’t working and is unable to handle the request.” This is an HTTP 500 error.

If you are seeing a screen like above, here are some common steps to resolve the issue:

  1. Disable Plugins and Themes
  2. Resolve Syntax Errors
  3. Switch on Debugging
  4. Increasing Memory Limits
  5. Check File Permission Issues
  6. Check for Failed Auto-Update“.
