I've been working with install and reinstalled it again in case I messed up somewhere.
I have sussed out exactly where the problem is.
When I alter the text and/or the image in the custom/header.php that is when I receive blank page errors, and when I replace it with the basic header.php file it works again.
Both are configured the same way and yet when I put my information in there that's when it becomes crazy.
Is there another file I need to configure to ensure this alteration works?
Thank you for your help btw brekke00!
