wp-admin shows blank page, how to fix it?

Tags:

php

wordpress

I am working with WordPress 3.5.8. Yesterday I made some changes into it to a friend. I don't know what happened, but after some time when I try to log in at wp-admin side and execute URL www.mysite.com/wp-admin it shows me a blank page. How do I solve this? I have searched over the internet and blogs. I found it could be related to hosting problems or brute force-attack, but I don't think that that's what happened to my site.

Why is my WP admin page blank?

In many cases, a blank WordPress admin panel results from code errors in your currently active theme. You can resolve this by disabling the theme. However, since you cannot access your dashboard to do this, you have to disable your theme manually using FTP.

After dozens of times trying to fix this problem reading forums and posts, reinstalling WordPress, removing white spaces, putting lines of code in wp-config.php, index.php, admin.php, I fixed the issue just by renaming the plugins folder to "pluginss" in FTP. So wordpress asked me to update the database. I updated and I could enter at /wp-admin. A plugin was causing some conflict, so when I rename the plugins folder, all plugins automatically has been disabled.

As I was inside the /wp-admin dashboard, I could rename the "pluginss" folder to the regular name and start to activate all the plugins one by one and see what plugin was broken.

Now is 100% fine.

Try turning on WP Debug. If this is happening due to a PHP error (which I bet that it is), you will be able to see what's going on and fix the error.
