getting error messages in wordpress white screen of death

Question

I am getting the wordpress white screen of death.

I want to display error messages. I tried define('WP_DEBUG', true) However it does not display any error messages.

Is there a work around?

Answer 1

put in ob_start(); in wp-config.php on top

Answer 2

The general approach that fixed it.

1. Rename your wp-content
2. Activate/ Decactivate your plugins
3. Change your themes
4. adding define('WP_DEBUG', true) in the wp-config.php
5. Check the php files. In my case the php files were missing code!
