I checked out the other issues in your mods' threads, but those blank page issues didn't seem to be like mine. I'm running vB 3.8.2 (and LDM 2.3.0, I might add), plus I've disabled all other modifications and reverted to the default style, but the problem still persists. No one else seems to be having any trouble, so it's probably something to do with my setup... Any suggestions on where to start?

Thanks in advance, and amazing mod by the way!

UPDATE #1: When I disable the Category Display from the Settings page, local_links.php starts working, so it appears that it's just something to do with that. I tried both tabular and brief, and neither allows anything but a blank page.

UPDATE #2: It seems that uploading an entry to a category also causes that category (which was previous working) to mess up. Looks like for whatever reason, my cat and entry bits cause things to go wonky...

Sorry to hear this. Blank pages are usually caused by one of three problems - a) code bugs; b) faulty code file uploads; and c) resource limits. As you've turned off other mods and no-one else has reported a problem, a) seems the least likely. You can check b) by going to LDM/admin/check file versions, which carries out an integrity check on all the code files. Which leaves c). A common problem is insufficient memory. Two checks here - go to LDM/Admin and take a look at the memory_limit value in your php settings (down the left hand side). If this is less than 12M or so, that might be the problem.

One way to check this (assuming your server configuration allows it) is to create a plugin to allow you to use more memory. Go to vb/admincp/products and plugins/add new plugin, and create a new plugin with the following settings:

hook location: global_start
title: debug
plugin php code: ini_set('memory_limit', '16M');
active: yes

If the memory limit is the problem, you should ask your host provider to change the default limit to, e.g., 16M or 24M.

Am happy to take a look at your board if you need further help, but will require full admin access.
