I’m sure you have and I’m not disputing that fact. I simply posted the issue I encountered and how I fixed it so that if someone else runs into the same issue they can try my solution.

The problem is commonly known as the whitescreen of death (http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-the-wordpress-white-screen-of-death/) and after reading the excerpt below I checked the \inc\structure\footer-extensions.php file (because it was the only modified file) and found it had excess space at the bottom. After I removed it I didn’t have the whitescreen problem anymore.

…you should look at your theme’s functions.php file. If there are extra spaces at the bottom, then you should consider fixing it.
