Gray Screen with a W.
-
Nearly all of the WordPress sites are no longer functioning for me. I get a gray screen with a W in the middle of it.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,
I’ve checked your site, and it is loading on my end:
Could you share the URLs of the sites that are not loading on your end?
Thanks!

Thank you. I can read my site as well. I cannot login to it though to see the stats or if anyone has commented (pending comments to approve-no one has commented for a long time, and I’m not expecting any, but I still like to check and I like to the stats on views.) Since I can’t login, I probably can’t submit anymore posts anymore, either. I don’t really have anything to post right now, but I need to have that option. . I couldn’t use the support contact links either. It’s hit and miss on what parts of WordPress are visible to me. I’m grateful this page works. Thank you again.

Thanks for clarifying it!
I’ve checked it, and I was able to access your dashboard and check your stats, comments, etc…
I’d say this has to do with the browser cache memory. Could you please empty your browser cache following the instructions here?:

Thank you. I tried clearing history which said it would delete cookies. It didn’t work. I’m using a MacBook. macOS Big Sur. I don’t want to update my operating system which appears to be the only way to update Safari. Similarly, it doesn’t work on my iPhone anymore either and I don’t want to update my iOS to get a more current Safari. I was going to attach screen shots to show that inexplicably this wordpress.com page will work, but WordPress.com by itself gives me. a gray screen. Thank you for your help.

That’s weird. On this very page that I’m having this convo with you, it appears that I am logged in because the bell up in the corner showed comments to include one that came in, in December that I didn’t know about/just approved. :(

Hi there,
Given that updating Safari directly is tied to operating system updates on your MacBook and iPhone, and you prefer not to update them at this time, I recommend trying a different web browser. Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox are great alternatives.
While using a different browser should help, I also want to highlight the importance of keeping your devices’ operating systems up to date. I understand your hesitation, but newer versions of both macOS and iOS do more than introduce new features; they also include vital bug fixes and security updates that protect your devices from vulnerabilities. If your devices support newer versions of the operating system, I strongly encourage you to consider upgrading. This step can significantly enhance the overall performance and security of your devices, in addition to potentially resolving the issue with Safari.
I hope this helps. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
