I’m fairly experienced in using wordpress from a ‘low level’ developer perspective, but have come across an issue today that has stumped me.
I have been building a site for a while, did a new install last week for the final version for live, copied everything over and everything has been fine until this evening when I managed to delete the .wellknown folder from the root folder for the domain ( I understand this has to do with Lets Encrypt).
Since then the frontend of the site is unavailable and I get a totally blank screen when attempting to access, even with debug mode on.
I’ve had the classic WSOD issue before and always sorted it by increasing PHP memory. Current memory set to 256M.
I have tried deactivating themes and all plugins to no avail. (first tired deactivating plugins that were updated today which had no obvious effect).
I have tried to put the site back to site address being same as folder where install is – site works FINE. When I put it back to have site address as root with install in sub directory, I get the blank screen.
The website has SSL installed on the server and it all seems to be working fine.
I have another site on the same server, also using SSL with no issues.
The address of the site in question is https://healyourland.org
The install directory is /hylmain
The domain is an addon domain.
The hosting provider is godaddy, deluxe plan.
I have verified all the settings both within wordpress admin and at the server level (wp-config, index.php, htaaccess, etc.)
I am still able to access the wordpress backend when the blank screen issue take place and given with wordpress & site address set as same the site works fine, it is less likely to be a typical WSOD issue.
Does anyone have any ideas what is happening here and possible solutions?
