Blank page when viewing pages on dashboard

  • Hi,

    When trying to view my pages via the dashboard I get a blank page. The URL is https://mydomain.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page

    All the pages work ok from the frontend and I can edit them there or even create new pages from the dashboard. I just can’t view the listing of them.

    I’m using the TwentyEleven theme. I’ve tried disabling all my plugins and changing themes but neither of those ideas worked.

    I also get a blank page if I go into:
    – Customize a theme
    – Appearance – Header
    – Appearance – Background image

    Everything else seems to work ok from the dashboard.

    Anyone seen this before?

    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks for the reply Laliz.

    Do themes affect the dashboard?

    The blank pages I’m getting are from the dashboard not from any homepage (unless I try to edit them).

    I noticed a further thing, when I edit a page (from viewing it at the frontend), the ‘edit page’ loads but nothing is displayed in the edit page box. However, when I run my mouse over the edit page box, I can see all the text. It’s like the text is white on a white background. Bizarre!

    Looks like it’s ok again now. I haven’t done anything on the site and it’s back to normal again. Bizarre how it’s righted itself. I’ve tested it on two different PCs and can’t understand how it was a problem yesterday and fixed today. Possbily an auto update from WordPress? I’ll keep an eye on it and see if it reverts back in a day or two.
