In most cases a blank page issue is caused by a corrupted plugin installed for your WordPress. In order to check the issue, you should access your account via an FTP client and navigate to the following folder:
  
The standard Wordpress .htaccess file looks like this:
+
path_to_your_WP_installation/wp-content/
  
# BEGIN WordPress
+
Within this folder there is the '''plugins/''' subfolder containing all WP plugins. Rename this folder in order to disable the plugins (e.g. '''plugins_old''')
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
+
RewriteEngine On
+
RewriteBase /
+
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
+
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
+
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
+
</IfModule>
+
# END WordPress
+
  
To have password protection set properly, you need to edit the .htaccess file located within ''public_html'' folder and change the following line:
+
Once renamed, test your website. If it starts working correctly this means that the issue is caused by one or more of your plugins. To correct this, rename the plugins folder from '''plugins_old/''' to '''plugins/''' and open the folder itself. Once you are within this directory, rename or move one by one the subfolders of each plugin out of the '''plugins/''' folder and test your WP site. If the blank page issue is resolved, that means that you have found the plugin in question.
  
''RewriteRule . /index.php [L]''
+
In some cases the isuue with WordPress blank page is caused by the corrupted theme. Please check our article '''''[http://myidealhost.com/tutorials/How_to_change_Wordpress_theme here]''''' to know how to change your WP theme.

to
+
 
+
''RewriteRule ./ /index.php [L]''
+
 
+
Once this rewrite rule is applied, the password protection should be working properly. </div>
