Hello Nice people, I have been working to revamp a site back to normalcy but rather unsuccessful. The dashboard is loading when I load rhyno.biz/wp-admin and the cpanel is also working right. But when I load the homepage rhyno.biz, loads only a blank page. *Some diagnostics I have tried to apply. * 1. I downloaded the whole site so that I could run it on localhost, the site is loading just fine any assistance is highly appreciated. //stephen -- *"Better Late Than Never, But Never Late is Better"* My Blog <http://uwanja.wordpress.com> | @uwanja <https://twitter.com/#%21/uwanja>| Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/swanjau> | This message represents the official view of the voices in my head.

No answer yet? Anyway, first you need to check the error log on the live server. By the way currently its giving a 500 error. Many servers are set not to display errors but instead to log them in a file. From the error log it should tell you what the problem is . If you cant fix it then you might want to post the specific part of the error log then from there the problem can be rooted out ----- Original Message ----- | From: "stephen wanjau" <wanjaustev@gmail.com> | To: "Skunkworks Mailing List" <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> | Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2012 7:31:09 PM | Subject: [Skunkworks] WORDPRESS | Hello Nice people, | I have been working to revamp a site back to normalcy but rather | unsuccessful. | The dashboard is loading when I load rhyno.biz/wp-admin and the | cpanel is also working right. | But when I load the homepage rhyno.biz , loads only a blank page. | Some diagnostics I have tried to apply.. | 1.

Not sure if this will help you. I once got this kind of weirdness when the WordPress theme I was using did not contain any of the standard theme template files (e.g. page.php, index.php etc) necessary to display a page of the site. So..... turn back to the default WP theme to see if this helps...

@Kelvin, he says it is working fine on his localhost but not on the live server. Definitely some configuration differences so he should check the logs to see what the live server doesn't like about Wordpress then he can make the appropriate changes on the server ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Kelvin" <kjayanoris@gmail.com> | To: "Skunkworks Mailing List" <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> | Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2012 10:10:53 PM | Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] WORDPRESS | Not sure if this will help you. | I once got this kind of weirdness when the WordPress theme I was | using did not contain any of the standard theme template files (e.g. | page.php, index.php etc) necessary to display a page of the site. | So..... turn back to the default WP theme to see if this helps... | Kelvin | www.likechapaa.com | www.dukapress.org | On Thu, Feb 23, 2012 at 9:21 PM, Steve Obbayi < steve@sobbayi.com > | wrote: | | No answer yet?

I am not a webdev, but having played with WP a bit, I can tell you that the reason you are seeing the difference in behaviour between your launchpad and the live server is likely resulting from the difference in the environments - PHP-wise. You are NOT running the same PHP versions on the two platforms. Try and look at that first. However, most likely, some WP plugin you have enabled is causing you the grief.

well here is my 2 cents, i run into the same problem when i uploaded my site 2 things to change on the WP settings (General) Wordpress address url site address url both are like pointing to your root which when being developed is local host On Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 10:10 AM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:
