Upgrading to WordPress 2.7 results in a blank page.

blankpage

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.

A result of this boredom is having sex with Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera). If it would stop there, there wouldn’t have been a movie, because Juno gets pregnant. At first she considers abortion, but after a rather traumatising experience (“Babies have fingernails!”), she decides to give the baby up for adoption. That’s where Vanessa (Jennifer Garner) and Mark Loring (Jason Bateman) come in. The up-town couple has been trying to conceive for five years, and they decide to adopt. The movie follows Juno through her 9 months, in which she tries to lead a normal life, but rather fails. Who could lead a normal life when you’re pregnant at 16… Read more »
