If it’s a fresh installation with no custom plugins or themes, I’d take a look at your PHP settings. Specifically look at your installed PHP extensions as well as your memory limit and PHP version.

You can create a new file called info.php with this line of code:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

There is a nice list here of all the dependencies you need.

Most all of the popular web hosts compile PHP with these by default, but if you’re running a custom setup, it’s possible you have something missing.

The white screen of death can also be a memory limit issue if it’s set very low. I like to recommend at least 128MB but you can tell this from the info.php file.

Finally, make sure you’re using at least PHP 7.0. PHP 5.6 is still used a lot, but you’ll notice a world of difference with 7.0+.

Hope this solves your issue!
