Joomla 3 white screen of death

Joomla 3 white screen of death

The dreaded white screen of death in Joomla 3 is when your site loads only a blank page. No error messages, no clues—just a white screen. This usually indicates a severe internal issue.

Causes of the white screen

Typical causes include:

• incompatible extensions blocking the system;
• server PHP version not supported;
• broken templates after updates;
• misconfigured .htaccess or SEF URLs.

How to handle this problem

Enabling debug mode or error reporting can provide more information. Sometimes disabling a faulty extension helps, but it’s not always enough.
