[pmwiki-users] Users not logged in get a blank page

[Petko Yotov]

Completely blank pages without any message often are caused by a call to 
a function that is not defined - either mis-typed or deprecated/removed.

I'd review all files in the "local" directory if some of them, notably 
those starting with "Engine" and "Main", make some suspicions calls.

Otherwise, see the page Troubleshooting in the documentation -- it can 
be an older addon that calls an undefined function, or that calls 
htmlspecialchars(). Troubleshooting contains instructions on how to 
track the cause:

   https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Troubleshooting

First section for tracking, see also the section on blank pages near the 
middle of that page.
