I'm fairly new to development and have been trying to create my own wordpress theme. While editing the theme today I made a mistake in the code and now the wordpress page won't load at all. It's just a white page and I can't even access wp-admin. I have wordpress installed locally with Bitnami.
I've researched how to fix this wordpress crashing problem and everyone keeps saying with FTP. But with a local server, from as far as I can tell, I don't think that works. I'm using Cyberduck and have tried to enter the IP address of the local server wordpress site to access the files but Cyberduck doesn't pull anything up. I have also tried stopping the server and starting it again and this doesn't help.
How do I recover my wordpress site from a crash when it's stored on a local (Bitnami) server?

I have lost myself trying to setup WAMP in an effort to download a wordpress site. I had done this before but decided to reset my computer. Somehow I can't do it.
I copies static html to www directory and the site opens well. Wordpress also loads as long as the wp-config.php file is unaltered. (error establishing a database connection). As soon as the wp-config file is setup and made ready, the local host directory returns "Error connecting to the site" warning.
I have a feeling this might have to do with the php setting or sql but I do not know what to do. I have tried every search topic.
Sad thing is that I had two website perfectly set up following youtube tutorials just a few months ago. And now I can't do it.
Anybody here?? x
So I have a problem and I do not really think it has anything to do with the apache2 settings.
I have installed a wordpress website on my local server computer.
Now, I can acces phpmyadmin and anything BUT the wordpress websites.
This ofcourse makes me think its WORDPRESS and not the webservers fault.
Permalinks in wordpress are set to www.mydomain.com
Im trying to load the website from: 192.168... Localhost and my external IP. but it just sits there loading.
And when I try to acces the website from my phone/outside the local networks, the website works completely fine!
I have been working on the website for a while now and I can't really do a re-install.
Anyone know what could cause this problem?
I used to use MAMP to locally host my wordpress website and it worked fine.
I recently started doing Laravel development so I use homebrew and valet. (which apparently interfered with MAMP because it stopped working, I'm still new to that whole area, so now I have to use wordpress with valet)
I was able to connect to my website using mysite.dev and I could see the homepage but without any date because the database was empty. Then I imported my database and now when I use mysite.dev in any broswer, it redirects me to www.mysite.ca (the actual website and not the local one).
I did do the command valet park in my wordpress repository.
How can I possibly fix this ? I suspect it's some setting in wordpress but I can't even access my local wp-admin.
You might try adding the following to your wp-config.php file.
define('WP_HOME','http://mysite.dev');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://mysite.dev');
This forces WordPress to recognize your current domain.
What I want to do > I need to run a version of my live website on my local machine.
Why I need to run it on local machine I need to edit the website on my local machine and when everything is perfect copy it onto server. So I can easily make changes to the website without scaring of breaking the live website.
Whats the problem > I could run it on my local machine but when I log in to wordpress from localhost it redirects me to the live server.
What steps did I followed > I followed this question, installed mamp and downloaded whole wordpress directory to htdocs directory of mamp, then exported the database on server and imported it to my local server. Ran the server, entered username and password and was redirects to the live server rather than running the website on my local machine.
The code is the same, you just have to edit the database configuration of localhost and change domain to localhost.
tl;dr:
run this to fix it: https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
long answer:
Most importantly, the "Home URL" and "Site URL" on the Settings -> General need to be changed. Also, many other URLs are saved into the Database including the domain name. Since some of them might be php-serialized, just search/replace in the database might screw up some things.
The Wordpress Codex has lots of info on moving / clonign a site. Still, the easiest way is the tool from tl;dr above.
I have a Wordpress Multisite which was working fine until I migrated the instance over to a new physical server.
The funny thing is that The instance itself is fine: I can get to everything except one of the sites. I cannot get to it's Admin section either, both the individual site and it's admin section come up as blank white pages. But none of my other sites do which I find rather weird.
It's not a database connection issue. I don't believe it's an .htaccess issue because i just copied over the same .htaccess file from the server that the whole instance was previously working on.
The only thing I can think of is that the Drive that Wordpress sits on is now different (D: now as opposed to E:).
I have mod_rewrite enabled and like I said all the other individual sites are working along with their individual admins.
I moved from Windows 2003 server to a Windows 2008 server and they are both on Apache Web Server.
Anyone else have the same problem or know of a way to remedy this?
A blank white page is a php error.
Check your error logs. That one site is using a plugin or theme with a conflict.
