A common issue encountered after relocating a WordPress website is the appearance of a blank, white screen on the front end or within the admin panel. This typically indicates a problem preventing the site from rendering correctly. This manifestation, often referred to as the “White Screen of Death,” signifies an error halting the execution of PHP code responsible for generating the website’s content and structure.
Resolving this problem is critical for maintaining website accessibility and functionality. A non-functional website can negatively impact user experience, search engine rankings, and business operations. Understanding the underlying causes and having strategies to diagnose and fix the issue are essential skills for WordPress administrators and developers. The problem, while sometimes daunting, generally stems from a limited set of potential culprits.
