I wanted to quickly build a small blog to share a few tech articles from time to time whenever I  face a issue on my daily work. That’s why I built that small wordpress website you are currently reading !

I had made the install once, but did not start to write an article, and the day I finally get the courage to do it, the wordpress install does not work any more ! A manual update, a debian package upgrade going wrong, what was the problem ?

So, I’m cheking the whole configuration again, I re-install the  wordpress package, … Strangely, the admin webpage was still working, but no article would display, the pages were always blank, with no HTML code inside.

Nothing interesting found in my internet research, it seems like it can happen when a plugin fails (renaming the plugins directory to .plugins seems an easy test), or if you got hacked (but re-installing did not soleve so …).  Well, nothing helpfull there.

The solution was even simpler than that : going in Appearance -> themes menu, wordpress tells me that my theme is corrupted. Well well. Long story short, reconfiguring to the default theme then reselecting my theme solved the issue.

Hope this help !
