*QUESTION* —>

for the past several weeks, i’ve been unable to access ‘editor mode’ for some of my longer posts (meaning lots of ‘text’ without any other media).
here is an example of the white screen when attempting to edit entry ‘sketches database’ ->
https://kingdomofjoga.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=191866&action=edit
from the WP site, if i click ‘edit mode’ on top toolbar, i get blank white screen (since my default editor is set to blocks).
i also have the ‘classic editor’ plug-in installed.
i am able to enter ‘edit mode’ if i go to my dashboard and select ‘edit’ from the ‘posts list’. however, if i try switching to ‘block mode’ from there, i get the same ‘blank white screen’
before this, my theme had been ‘MP MusicMag’.i tried disabling all plug-ins and reverting to default theme with help of ‘bluehost support’. cleared cache in google chrome.
tried to access site from safari.
still getting ‘blank white screen’ when trying to access my largest posts.
i log into my WP dashboard via bluehost.
i usually have several chrome tabs open for different entries when i’m working. a few times d day i am automatically logged out with ‘session has expired’ and so i go to bluehost and log back in.
but now i occasionally the log-in screen comes up sporadically asking me to log into wordpress.
and from there, i’m not sure what username / password to use.
i believe i can get in with my email address and password most of the time,
but sometimes only ‘admin’ qs username works.
i ran ‘site health’ + ‘wp health’ and the only problem i found was a warning not to have an administrator with title ‘admin’ because it was a security risk.
so if i ever get logged out, i just close all the tabs, clear caches, close + open chrome browser, and log in again via ‘bluehost’.
that usually works fine, but lately i’ve noticed that sometimes just going to another tab that has one of my entries open while i was logged out seems to log me out wuhenever i click into that tab.
starting yesterday, i also noticed that the same thing happened when i try to access a page on my WP site via the bookmark.
it would take me to the URL but i would be logged out again.
only way i could circumvent this would be to click into the entry from home page to there (which could take 6 or 7 steps and i made the bokmarks so i dont have to remember exact pathways).
so as of right now, i would have to replace all the bookmark URLs with ones taken from my updated sight.
for example, i have a chrome bookmark to my WP site:
https://kingdomofjoga.com/2013/02/05/music-theory/
but if i follow the menus from my WP page, it gives me…
https://kingdomofjoga.com/2013/02/05/music-theory/
(and the secure link doesn’t log me out)
(now, i created all those bookmarks AFTER i upgraded to HTTPS so the bookmarks must have been changed somehow)
when i log into my WP dashboard, i get the prompts about ‘activating SSL’ and reconnecting jetpack, 2 things i did a long time ago.
that in itself isnt a problem, i’ll just replace the bookmarks with updated links.
for a few weeks i have just worked around the blank white screen for large posts.
i could still see the actual post texts from my site, and i can cut/paste as needed.
when i went to bluehost support to fix the problem, they downgraded my WP to ‘v 4.9’ (pre-gutenberg).
this ‘worked’ (as in i could now access edit mode for the large posts). but it made the site a mess since ive been workinng for the past few months with blocks.
all the center alignments went to ‘left align’ along with other problems.
went back to bluehost supprt and they did more incremental downgrade.
if it was v5.3.2 i was using, they took it down to 5.2 (still didnt fix blank white screen),
and then to 5.1 (fixed the white screen issue).
so i thought that was the end of it.
now i wake up to find that again i can’t access edit mode for the large posts.
so i checked at bottom right and found that i was running v5.3.2 again.
i’m assuming the bluehost support changed it back.
so again just stuck with the ‘blank white screen’.
any suggestions on how to proceed? thanks!

“BCWORKZ” –>
Something is poorly coded for 5.3.2 and really needs to be resolved.
You need to edit the wp-config.php file via FTP or your hosting file manager.
Find the line that defines WP_DEBUG as false.
Change it to true and save the change.
You will now see error messages instead of a white screen.
The messages will tell you why and where there is an error in coding.
