Blank Dashboard

This is the same case for my site also. Please help.

Have you tried clearing your browser cache and/or any caching in WP?

I have cleared the browser cache. I have also purged the Varnish cache of my server. Still the same issue.

Yes I have cleared the cache and also tried 3 different browsers.

Anything in error_log or wp-admin/error_log?

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Exception: DateTimeZone::__construct(): Unknown or bad timezone (Etc/GMT-5.5) in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/lib/wfUtils.php:2045

Looks like Wordfence doesn’t know how to handle your timezone, possibly due to the half hour offset. There are non-WP threads showing this error, which looks like it’s caused by the same library used by Wordfence.

Yes, you are right. I have just updated the time zone from General Settings page, and now the Wordfence dashboard page is showing correctly.

If that’s it for you, please mark this thread as resolved.

Hi All!
@dfaovred and @rswebsols There will be a fix included for this issue in the next version, for now, you can use a named time zone equivalent in (WordPress > Settings => General => Timezone). For “+5:30”, Asia/Colombo will work. Any others can be looked up here if needed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_time_offsets.

Thanks @galbaras for helping out in this thread.
