Wordpress white screen front-end

I know there are a thousand white-screen issues posted about wordpress, but for some reason I can't find the answer.

  1. I have disabled all plugins.
  2. I have switched to a default theme.
  3. This is an identical copy of wordpress (incl. database) from one localhost install to another localhost install. Same ports, same users, everything the same. The other one works.
  4. The admin page works just fine, the "front-end" just shows a white page with no errors logged.

I'm running PHP 7.1

A small "side note" - I added an index.html file that won't list at the root url, only if I type in url.com/index.html does it come up - perhaps related?

I started with a fresh database just now, the problem still persists. The server shows plenty of access log attempts but zero errors. I'm starting to think this is an apache conf issue even though I have copied the default from WP many times and verified it's being read.

Put in wp.config:

define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true);

Also, verify .htaccess

1- Wordpress has a built-in Debug function, you just need to enable it through wp-config.php

error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', 1);
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );

From now on you should be able to view where's the error is coming from.

2- White screen is a result of a lack of PHP memory. Add this line as well to your wp-config:

define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );

3- Just to be sure download latest version of wordpress from https://wordpress.org/ and then Upload only wp-admin | wp-includes and other *.php files that are outside the folders.

4- You might also want to check your .htaccess and make sure it looks standard like this:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
