    Looks like it's outputting five empty rows of text.

    Is there a index.html, index.php or similar in the root www folder? (www or public_html)

    Sometimes during FTP-upload, files fail to upload but still overwrites the original file with some truncated content. Check the frontpage of your website to make sure

    Just had a quick look and all seems to be working.

    Websites can be a pain sometimes.

      Try re-uploading the files.

      I tried viewing the source and it was blank.

        I can get to the site if I input this: Nothing found for Index

        Do you have an index file in this directory that may be interfering with your index.php file?

        Or this may be a .htaccess issue.

    It is probably an .htaccess problem. It works if you add the www. but doesn't work without it.

    Hi,

    Its a wordpress site so it could be that wordpress has the home page set to something strange. You can tell Wordpress what page the home page would be under Settings > Reading.

    For example if you told wordpress that you wanted the front page to display a static page and then accidentally removed that static page then when you went to the home page of your site you'd get a 404 or some other error. Its possibly that while working on your site you didnt realise because the pages could have been cached.

    Then you log out and come back the following day to find the site not working. It would seem that something happened whilst you were away but in fact you did it last time you were working on it.

    Try resetting what your site chooses as a front page and see if the change makes a difference. Also check that your htaccess file exists and is writeable by wordpress.

    Cheers

    Max
