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.
