Add new post in wordpress shows blank page

The frustration of a blank page!

Don't worry, I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue. Here are some common reasons why a new post in WordPress might show a blank page:

  1. Plugin conflict: One of your plugins might be causing the issue. Try deactivating all plugins and then reactivate them one by one to identify the problematic plugin.
  2. Theme issue: Your theme might be causing the problem. Try switching to a default WordPress theme (e.g., Twenty Nineteen) to see if the issue persists.
  3. Cache issue: Clear your browser cache and try again. Sometimes, a cached version of the page can cause issues.
  4. Permalink issue: Make sure your permalink structure is set correctly. Go to Settings > Permalinks and click "Save Changes" to update the permalink structure.
  5. Post content: Check if the post content is empty or contains only whitespace characters. Try adding some text to the post and see if the issue persists.
  6. WordPress version: Ensure you're running the latest version of WordPress. Update your WordPress installation if you're not on the latest version.
  7. Server-side issue: Check your server logs for any errors or issues that might be causing the problem.

To troubleshoot further, you can try the following:

  1. Check the WordPress debug log: Enable WordPress debugging by adding the following code to your wp-config.php file: define('WP_DEBUG', true); and define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);. This will create a debug log file in your WordPress installation directory. Check the log file for any errors or issues related to the blank page.
  2. Use the WordPress debug bar: Install the WordPress Debug Bar plugin, which provides a debug bar at the top of your WordPress admin dashboard. This can help you identify any errors or issues that might be causing the problem.
  3. Check the browser console: Open the browser console (F12 or Ctrl + Shift + I) and check for any errors or issues related to the blank page.

If none of these troubleshooting steps help, please provide more details about your WordPress installation, including:
