Backend is completely white, can not edit

[bonfirewebcompany]

Hi, I did the 5.2.5 theme update and now my screen is completely white on the backend, but everything looks fine on the frontend. Could you tell me why I can’t edit the backend? Thanks!

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in! A white screen usually means there is a fatal PHP error. Can you please enable WP_DEBUG mode? You can do this by opening wp-config.php and adding the following code just above /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

define('WP_DEBUG', true);
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

When you revisit the page with the white screen, you should have some error output describing the issue in more detail.

Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!
