If you’ve been using WordPress for some time, you’ve likely heard of or possibly even encountered its most infamous error: the White Screen of Death. This startling glitch would cause your entire website, and sometimes even your backend, to load as a blank white page.

In recent versions of WordPress, this blank screen has been replaced with the critical error and the text “There has been a critical error on your website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.”

Hope this may be helpful.

Go to public_html then wp-content and rename the plugin folder to anything (like 'plugin '). Now all of your plugins will be disabled. Activate them each one by one until you find the one that makes problems for your work. If it is fixed, rename your plugin folder back to normal.
