Upgrading to WordPress 2.7 results in a blank page.
A few days ago, I upgraded to WordPress 2.7. My biggest mistake probably was not checking properly (or even not checking at all) if my homepage was displaying properly. I saw no errors in the back-end so I presumed all was okay.
Today I checked my Google Analytics account and saw that I’ve had 0 visitors for the last two days and only 14 three days ago. Now normally I hover around 40 – 50 visitor / day, so I was a little surprised. I decided to go check my homepage and what do I see? A blank page. Nothingness.
I googled the problem and quickly found a blog post describing the same problems. It only mentioned the Super Cache or wp-cache plugins, but I remembered the PHP Speedy WP plugin also caches everything. Turning this plugin off immediately fixed everything.
I’d like to apologize to anyone who might have come across my white blog the last three days. I promise I’ll check my upgrades better next time.

Do you use WP Super Cache and PHP Speedy or just PHP Speedy? I use Super Cache on my blog but haven’t tried PHP Speedy — would you recommend it?

I do recommend it yeah. My current host is a bit slow, so I don’t know if it makes a lot of difference, but my YSlow went from E to B with only PHP Speedy responsible for it!

Hmmm. Maybe I’ll take a look at the Speedy plugin. I use WP Cache, and I am pretty satisfied.

Just wanted to drop you a line to say, I enjoy reading your site. I thought about starting a blog myself but don’t have the time.
Oh well maybe one day….

Just went through the same problem as you guys. For me (can’t say it is the solution for everybody) it turned out to be a problem with the PHP caching plugin APC. Switched to eAccelerator and it worked like a charm.
Look at the Apache error logs and if you have similar errors like I did, my fix might work for you: http://www.johnberns.com/2010/03/19/wp-super-cache-blank-page-problem-fixed/
