Site is only a white screen, after working fine yesterday! Mac

HELP! I don’t know what happened, I’ve been building a site thru local for a few days and everything has worked perfectly then today all I’m getting is a white screen on both admin and webpage.

Hi Cliff,

Please check the log files in the logs directory for that site. There’s most likely something like a plugin causing a 500 error.

Clay, thanks for responding!
I do see some error logs about some plugins…and I think the problem did arrise after I tried to update some plugins in WP.
I’m learning all this as I go a long, so I barely know what I’m doing haha.
looks like error log in:
Mysql=something about plugin “federated” is disabled
Nginx=17#0: *14918 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Warning: fopen(/app/public/wp-content/plugins/ultimate-faqs/Main.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /app/public/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4785

No problem!

I would go ahead browse to app/public/wp-content/plugins and remove ultimate-faqs. After doing that the site should work again.

Once you’re able to see the site again, you can try re-installing the plugin to see if it happens again.

I deleted ultimate-faqs and still have the same issue. Looks like I didn’t read far enough and there’s something about woocomerce too. If i delete that will I lose all my products I have made?

got it to work by deleting and reinstalling woocommerce. Thanks for the help Clay.
