I am in the process of moving my test installation which is currently in a subdirectory into the main directory. I have done this many times in the past with other themes with no problems. I am encountering a white screen when I check the main directory and I’m wondering whether your theme requires anything different. My process for changing from subdirectory is the one from these set of instructions (scroll down to section titled using an existing subdirectory) https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory:
1) I changed the site name from http://example.com/wpress to http://example.com (wpress is the name of my directory)
2) I copied the .htaccess & index.php file from the wpress subdirectory into the main directory
3) I changed the index.php file line that reads:
require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wp-blog-header.php' );
to
require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wpress/wp-blog-header.php' );4) I was able to log into the admin back-end to save permalinks again and check that everything is as it should be but the front page white screen still exists. Is there anything I have to reset and change in the theme?
I’ll follow up with a private message with my site url.
Hi! Just following up!!! Ok I also discovered that all the subpages are fine – this white screen only occurs on the front page!!!! Investigating a little more………. if I find anything I’ll repost here….
Hi!
There is nothing different that needs to be done with the theme. My only suggestion would be to disable pretty permalinks (use the default setting) and then see if everything works. You may need to just delete the htaccess file/rules and let WordPress completely regenerate the file.
Cheers!
DevinThere seems to be something wrong with whatever is stored in the database for the theme options….. I have tried going into Theme Options and changing the Front Page, and here is where it gets weird:
If I set the front page to some of the pages, I get this: “Fatal error: Unknown: Cannot use output buffering in output buffering display handlers in Unknown on line 0”
On other pages, it’s fine.
For my chosen front page, it is white screen.
Hi Devin, thanks for the quick response. My htaccess file looks fine, but I did disable and re-enable pretty permalinks to regenerate the htacess file. I am still having a problem with the front page.
Actually, the only time I get the fatal error is with 1 particular page where there are quotes in the title.
Setting the front page in your Theme Options to the rest of the pages are fine. All except the front page. I could create a new page and regenerate the content of the front page, but it disturbs me that this is not resetting for some reason.
Would you like access to my site so that you can see for yourself what happens?
Thanks,
LindaI just discovered the problem and I fixed it. A good note to myself next time I move a subdirectory install in the future, check and make sure my root directory php settings allow for enough memory! The over memory limit warning did not show up in my admin panel because my subdirectory was set up to allow for more memory, but my root directory was not. Please close this ticket Devin, thank you..
