Wordpress "white screen of death" on new posts and pages

Developing a new site. I'm getting the white-screen-of-death every time I try to create a new page or post. I've deactivated all plugins, changed themes and tried 3 different versions of the wordpress core (6.0.2, 6.0.1, 5.9.8) to try and find a solution - nothing's working and all was fine yesterday. The error showing on the server logs is:

PHP Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /public_html/wp-admin/includes/post.php on line 742.

Can anyone suggest a solution? Is it an issue with the host server? Surely I've circumvented problems with the install by trying all of the above. I'm open to ideas.

Have you tried to "reset" the .htaccess file? Sometimes the white screen is solved by doing this.

This should be in .htaccess inside the public_html folder.:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Also, can you share what's in /public_html/wp-admin/includes/post.php on line 742?
