blank white page after login

  • When you say “logging in” do you mean to your Dashboard?

    You may have a plugin or theme that’s no longer compatible with the new version of WordPress.

    Easy way to check:

    1. FTP into the site.
    2. Go to wp-content and rename the Plugins folder and try to login again. If it lets you, you have an incompatible plugin. To find it, rename the plugin folder, then begin renaming the plugin foldlers, one at a time, then try to login again. First time it lets you log in, the last one you renamed is the problem child. Rename the others back to their original name and either reinstall a compatible version of that plugin, or find a replacement.
    3. If 2 above didn’t fix the problem, rename the Themes folder. WordPress should default to its default theme and let you in. If it lets you in, there’s something amiss with your theme. It may have some incompatibility that’s preventing you from getting in.

    It’s kind of hard to do this without looking under the hood, but these are just some steps you can take to try to get back up again. ??

    Accessing your website files using either FTP or your web hosting file manager, you edit your wp-config.php file to enable debugging, the line becomes:
    define('WP_DEBUG', true);

    Now you should get some error messages as to what is wrong.
    Also check you errors_log file.
