wp-admin screen blank after login
I know there is another thread with a similar problem, but I think that they are different based on what worked for them and not for me, so I've started a new thread. I'm using wp 2.86 and ata 3.4.4. When I login it takes me to a blank wp-admin page. I can get past it by going to /wp-admin/post.php or edit.php or pretty much any other admin page from the white page, but naturally I'd like to get it sorted in case its a symptom of another problem, and also to make usage easier for other users. It's not a browser issue, i'm pretty sure, since I've tried a couple and it does the same thing, and i've got plenty of php memory (64). Here's the site. Any advice?
Many thanks JC |
if you can get into the back end, check the settings at dashboard->settings->general and look at the 'WordPress address (URL)' and the 'Blog address (URL)' options - make sure they are correct
|
should they be anything other than http://threeguysonebook.com ?
|
does you dns point to the folder wordpress is installed in? if so, then yes they should be the same
|
yes, so that's not the issue.
|
well since using .../wp-admin/index.php brings you right to the logon but using ../wp-admin hangs, I'd suspect that this has something to do with htaccess
|
ok. I haven't edited it for any reason. Any thoughts?
|
to see if wp-admin/index.php is actually running, edit it and on line 2 put in
HTML Code:
echo '<strong>debug: in index.php.</strong>'; |
I've put that in...how do I know if the module is running? Everything is the same, as far as I can tell.
|
I have this message:
debug: in index.php. Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/jasonch2/public_html/threeguysonebook.com/wp-admin/index.php:2) in /home/jasonch2/public_html/threeguysonebook.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/wordpress-automatic-upgrade.php on line 121 |
Hmm teh header already sent message usually means there are some non blank characters in one of our modules at the end.
If this was me, I would down load a new copy of Wordpress to my computer, and delete teh wp-content forler from it. Then I would connect to the server via FTP and delete everything but the wp-config.php and the wp-content directory. Next, I'd FTP up the new copy of wordpress and see what that does. |
Thanks JD. Let me get this straight, so I don't screw it up:
from the new WP, delete the wp-content folder from the old server version delete everything except wp-config and wp-content upload the new one. Is that it? I'll try it tonight. I'll assume I should backup everything first, of course. |
you've got it. The only things on the site you need to keep is the wp-config.php because you have that customized for yout database (name, userid, password) and there isn't one shipped with wordpress, just a wp-config-sample.php and the wp-content folder because that has your plugins, themes, uploads. Both of these are things you want to back up along with your database - but this won't effect your database at all - you just should back it up on a perodic basis.
|
OK, thanks. I'll try it tonight or early tomorrow when traffic should be down, just in case. I do backup weekly, so I'm pretty secure.
