Black Screen of Death, Please Help!
-
My wordpress website is susannasuh.info
I recently reactivated my website after the domain name has expired, it worked fine before but now my website does not show any contents and is just a black/white screen of death on google chrome and safari. It sometimes shows up on firefox.
I don't think it is an update issue because I can view my website just fine in firefox in my own browser, but visitors only see a black/white screen.
Please help! I'm so worried job recruiters are only seeing a black screen :'( please help if you can

Dear @reallybadatstuff
Currently I am able to view your website but have this error in the console:
As some first steps of debugging:
Wordpress, Lay Theme & Laytheme's Addons are all up to date ?
Any custom CSS or JS that may interfere is temporarily removed.
Any third-party plugins are de-activated to see if this resolves the issue.
If using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
License key not activated - (in website blank situations or button not available)
If your WordPress Dashboard shows a warning "PHP Update required” Please update your PHP version in your webhost control panel.
Possibly your website is running PHP 8.0 this has been known in some cases to cause issue.
Additionally take a look at https://laytheme.com/troubleshooting.html for known problems.
Talk soon @reallybadatstuff and have a wonderful day! 🌝
Sincerely
Richard
Before you post:
- When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
- Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
- Disable all Plugins
- Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"
This often solves issues you might run into
