Somehow since the new site&#8217;s launch, the client stumbled across an old URL from the previous site which coincidentally uses the permalink structure for events single pages in the new site. Since there isn&#8217;t an active event at the URL they visited, you would think they hit a 404 page, but instead, they got a white screen of death (WSoD). I&#8217;ve read other posts here about the WSoD, but haven&#8217;t seen anyone describe this particular situation. I&#8217;ve confirmed it&#8217;s coming from TEC as I briefly disabled the plugin, refreshed the page, and get the expected 404 page. While there aren&#8217;t any links to old pages in the new site, we&#8217;d like to get this sorted out in case anyone else has a random URL from the old site saved somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t disabled all the plugins or switched the theme because this is a live site that&#8217;s only been up a week, but I can if that&#8217;s the only course of action to figure out what&#8217;s going on.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for the help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-942796","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>White Screen of Death Instead of 404 -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/white-screen-of-death-instead-of-404\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"White Screen of Death Instead of 404 -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I recently launched a new website for a client using The Events Calendar (TEC) 3.9.1.
