Recovering from a White Screen or Fatal Error

A white screen or fatal error usually points to a code-level or compatibility problem rather than a generic hosting issue. Fast recovery depends on isolating the recent change.

Recovery Path

• Review error logs to identify the failing file or function.
• Disable the most recently changed plugin or theme if the timing matches.
• Confirm that the active PHP version is compatible with the site code.
• Restore only when targeted rollback is not possible or would take longer.

Preventive Value

Keep a record of recent deployments and updates. Accurate change history reduces diagnosis time significantly during high-pressure incidents.
