The symptoms we check first
A systematic diagnosis, in the right order: we isolate the cause before changing a single file.
Hidden PHP error
The display_errors setting is disabled: the fatal error is occurring but only appears in the logs.
Thème ou template cassé
A modified .tpl file, a missing hook or an undefined Smarty variable can leave the entire page blank.
Stale cache
A corrupted Smarty cache or compiled file that serves a blank page on every visit.
Insufficient memory
The script stops before outputting a single line of HTML.
Partial blank page
Seules certaines pages (catégorie, fiche produit, tunnel) sont vides : le coupable est souvent un module greffé.
Blank back office
Blank screen in the back office only: corrupted permissions, session, or employee tab.

Questions fréquentes
Why can't I see any error messages?
By default, PrestaShop hides PHP errors in production to prevent sensitive information from being exposed. The error still exists: it is in the logs, and we know where to find it.
Does the theme need to be reinstalled?
Almost never. In the vast majority of cases, a specific file or module needs fixing. Reinstallation would only be suggested as a last resort, with your approval.
The back office is blank too. Is it more serious?
Not necessarily. It is often caused by a session issue, file permissions or a corrupted employee tab. Diagnosis is still quick.
Le diagnostic est-il payant ?
No. You receive an estimate before any work begins, then decide whether to proceed.
