Just enable Wordpress DEBUG to a LOG and see the Fatal Error.

This is the FIRST thing everyone should do for a Blank Page (page of death).

Thanks for the suggestion @MissimoD 🙂

This is how I enabled debugging. I updated my `wp-config.php` file to have the following values:

define('WP_DEBUG', true);

define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);

define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true);

I uploaded the file back in the root directory of my domain and then revisited 'domain.com/community/'. As expected, the blank page showed up again.

Based on the documentation by WordPress, I expected to see a debug.log file inside the `wp-content` folder. However, there is no such file.

Did I do anything wrong?

I have never used WordPress before and I started learning about it 15 days ago so I highly appreciate your patience in helping me resolve the issue. 🙂

To be clear, the page is not exactly blank. It loads the header and footer normally. The footer has a sidebar which also loads without any problem. However, in place of the main content, I just see the title 'Forum' and 'Last Updated — April 20, 2018'.

This content seems to be coming from the `index.php` file of the custom theme that I created myself. Here is the code of `index.php`.

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php

if(have_posts()):

while(have_posts()): the_post(); ?>

<time>Last Updated — <?php the_modified_date('F j, Y'); ?></time>

<?php

endwhile;

endif;

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Well, no debug.log means no errors at all, even warnings or notices.

Did I follow these steps correctly?

Could you please tell me why is my 'domain.com/community/' URL using the `index.php` file from my theme as its template?

Thanks.

Yes the debug steps are ok. As for the rest i have no idea what you try to do and i can't offer more help. Maybe somebody else can.
