Empty Search Returns Blank Page

[djdavedawson]

I found something interesting today and thought I would post it up.

I was having an issue where just clicking the search button in the search header was returning a blank screen.

I was also getting a blank screen on certain searches and then trying to sort a search.

The issue was caused by a few blank lines after my ?> end php tag in my extra_functions.php file.

(my file actually is named functions_abc.php but is in the extra_functions folder)

I deleted the blank lines and search works normal now.

Thanks for the update that you discovered removing the blank space(s) or line(s) before the starting php bracket <?php or after the ending php bracket ?> will often fix the blank white page issue ...

I am having the same issues. I didn't have any blank lines at the end of extra_functions.php. I didn't have this issue before and now I do. Any suggestions? Thank you!

I downloaded the Debug Error Utility and found where my error was. Super neat!! Thanks!

Thanks for the update that the Debug Tool from the Free Software Add Ons was help to help you locate your error on the white blank page displayed ...
