WordPress white screen after update - how to recover the site

A white screen usually means a PHP error or a conflict after updating a plugin, theme, WordPress core or PHP version.

When this matters

Without logs it is easy to overwrite a working copy or make further changes that make recovery harder.

What to do after a WordPress white screen: backup, error_log, recovery mode, plugins, theme, PHP version and WP Toolkit.

Practical checklist

  • do not delete files before checking backup
  • read error_log and recently changed plugins
  • temporarily switch PHP to a compatible version
  • use WP Toolkit or backup to revert the change
