Okay, we are now ready to go…

Step 1 – Finding the problem

Before fixing the problem, we need to know what the problem is. Follow the steps to get the error report.

Go to root folder via FTP or Control panel and edit configuration.php

Find public $error_reporting = ‘none’;

and change to public $error_reporting = maximum’;

You will get the error report on the blank page.

If that doesn’t work for you,

Go to index.php and add the following line.

ini_set(‘display_errors’,true);

error_reporting( E_ALL );

You will now have an error report on the blank screen.

Step 2 – Finding the solution

Fix 1

Go to plugins/system/remember/ and rename remember.php to _remember.php and refresh the website.

If that didn’t work, upload the previous backup file and refresh again.

Fix 2

Go to /public_html/plugins/user/joomla/ and rename joomla.php to  _joomla.php and refresh.

If that too doesn’t work, upload the previous backup file (joomla.php as well) and refresh again.

If all these methods failed, try the next one.

Fix 3

Go to configuration.php and edit public $cache_handler value as empty.
