wp-admin/edit broken – blank file

  • Hi,

    something went wrong with the automatic install of 4.1 on my site. Dunno what.

    The symptoms i have:

    • cannot manage posts with the iOS app that used to work like a charm. Get a 500 error message.
    • cannot manage posts with the web interface /wp-admin:
    • cannot get a list of posts (i get an empty page without any html code, 0 chars, status 500 server error)
    • cannot edit a post (i get an empty page without any html code, 0 chars, status 500 server error)
    • categories and tags can be edited (I haven’t tried, at least the web interface looks ok)
    • cannot access update in wp-admin:
    • wp-admin/update-core.php returns only the first half of the html (dunno whats missing, the page seems to stop after wp-version. body and html tags are not closed
    • wp-admin/update-core.php?action=do-core-reinstall returns seemingly complete html but doesn’t do anything. The visible elements just read ?wordpress aktualisieren“ (which is ok since its a german installation) but nothing happens.
    • cannot access wp-admin/plugins.php since it also delivers a completely empty page, 0 characters, status 500 server error.
    • I did a manual reinstall according to the guide with no effect.
    • I removed all themes except 2015 and the complete site went blank.
    • reuploaded my own theme (did it myself) and the site is readable again. Above errors persist though.

    I continued to play around and it has gotten better.

    What I did was disable all plugins using https://codex.www.ads-software.com/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F

    after that the wp-admin told me I should upgrade jetpack. I did. At the end it sent me a blank page with status 200 ok – which i don’t get at all – anyway after that the wp-admin said everything was up to date.

    The wp-admin/plugins.php works again. I disabled all jetpack functions and the plugin altogether and now i think i can edit posts (wp-admin/post.php?post=8948&action=edit) – although I still don’t get a list of posts in wp-admin/edit.php

    Now I find I have a dropin called “advanced-cache.php“ installed in plugins. Where did that come from?

    I tried to remove jetpack completely and since that didn’t work i removed all plugins… and that didn’t work either. At least that dropin disappeared.

    And update-core.php now sends a complete page.

    It’s getting better.

    Now I think I found something interesting:

    /wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=private&post_type=post works
    /wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=post works

    but

    /wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=&post_type=post does not. Server error.
    /wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=publish&post_type=post does not. Server error.

    I enabled logging using https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Debugging_in_WordPress#Example_wp-config.php_for_Debugging

    and I get this message:

    [07-Feb-2015 16:35:15] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 71 bytes) in /wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 3720

    What does that mean?
