I have a Blank Page when I login to my Word Press Blog Dashboard
I tried to login to my Word Press Blog and all I see is a Blank Page.
Yesterday I tried to login to my Word Press Dashboard and I couldn’t get in. I then started to think about what I did last inside the Dashboard.
The last thing I did was install a new plugin. I installed a new Plugin called “Blog as PDF”.
The plugin will let you create a PDF file of all your Blog Posts. I through this was a cool idea.
When I ran the plugin, I got an error message and nothing happeded. I tried again to make a PDF of my Posts and got the error again.
Now I am not saying “Blog as PDF” is a bad plugin, as Word Press has OK’ed its use through their site. It should work fine with most blogs. Sometimes when installing a Plugin, you can get conflicts with your Blog.
When I was done working in the Word Press Dashboard, I logged out. A few hours later I tried to login and got the blank page. I didn’t have time to trouble shoot the problem until today.
To start troubleshooting, I tried to login on two different computers. Same problem, so this told me it wasn’t my computers problem.
I went to what I call my Personal Help Desk “Google”. I posted before about useing Google as your Personal Help Desk. Check out this post.
What I did was type “after word press login page is blank” into Google. It took me a few pages, but I then found a few things to try.
Since one of the things to try was to deactivate all my plugins, I through I would try this first.
Here are the steps I took:
- I logged into my Cpanel.
- I then opened my File Manager.
- I then went to my blog folder, then wp-contents folder.
- I then Renamed the Plugins folder to something like: plugins.old.
- I then created a new folder and call it plugins, inside the wp-contents folder.
- Now go to your Blog and login to your Dashboard.
- I was now able to login and see my dashboard again, yea baby.
- Stay logged into your dashboard and go back to your Cpanel.
- Now delete the plugins folder you created.
- Next rename the folder called plugins.old back to plugins.
- Next I went back into my Word Press Dashboard and deleted the last plugin I installed.
- I then had to reactivate all my other plugins. Don’t forget to do this, as renameing the folder will deactivate all your plugins.
- I was now able to login and out with no problems.
This might not fix you issues, but its something to try, as it worked for me. Good luck, and don’t forget to use Google for all your website, blog and computer issues.
