Blog works but admin sections do not

    This installation is on my local machine using MAMP which by all indications is running fine and has been shut down, restarted several times.

    The blog, as a visitor would see it, works great as far as I can tell. Pages and posts load, links work, eveything displays correctly.

    The problem is I can no longer access the admin portions – I get an entirely black screen in the browser – no error messages or anything. This happens when I try to go to the dashboard, posting page, etc.

    What do I need to do to fix it? It was working fine this morning and all I’ve done is work on themes, not tinker with anything outside the wp-conten/themes folder

  • Try renaming the plugins directory. Create a new empty pugins directory with the same permissions as the old.
    Second, Try renaming the theme directoy you are using. Create a new theme directory with the default (twenty-ten) theme files using the same directory name as the old one.
    See if it comes up from one of those.

    I tried both of those (sorry for not split testing) and one of them worked. I reversed the action on both, restoring things to how they had been and the problem did not reappear but it seems to work ok now.

    Webjunk, you are a genius. Thanks very much.
