Installed fine, dashboard area fine, home page is blank

So, I finally got mine working. Turns out that Dotster tech support didn’t know what they were talking about when they said I’d have no problems installing WP on a Windows server. Once I decided to listen to my gut and switched to linux hosting, it worked like a charm.

I’m not marking this thread resolved since there are other people with issues posting here.

Thanks for your offer of help, vietknight!

I have a similar problem,
When I got a blank page, I go in the admin section and reselect ( the same ) theme. The its fine, but only for a few moments, let’s say i check it few hours after and the blank page is back. Dont know what to do ?

If someone can help that would be really appreciate. Thanks

K mine is blank too! Vietknight it sounds like i need your help in a big way! the first post is saved, but its a no show in the back end and front end? whats a guy to do now?

If you still have your DB intact, just put the directory “wp-content” and the file “wp-config.php” back into the installation and it should work like it use to.

I would recommend copying the values from wp-config.php and adding it to the new one instead of replacing as the config file that comes with the latest versions have some additional information such as security keys, etc..

@cyanalab, @bminternetservices

I’d suggest removing all the other themes other than the default theme folders from wp-content/themes directory.

Hope this helps..

I just got through initial install, got a Blank homepage. Reinstalled, same result. All other features worked. Did an upgrade. Same result. Got bored and wandered through all directories, saw many missing files. Uploaded all misssing files. It now works. FTP on windows servers can drop file uploads. I knew this, it just didn’t occur to me that would be the problem. Hopefully this helps some of you with the same problem. ??

Hey all,

Jim W is spot on here. Firstly check all your files have uploaded correctly.

For those of you who are experiencing problems with your theme, i.e. your old theme displays a blank page.. but your dashboard etc is all accessible. Then upload your theme again (replace all current files/overwrite).

If you are still not having much joy. Try using a different theme. It could be that your old theme is not compatible or any other range of issues I guess.

But this problem seems to be largely in relation to the theme you have applied.

Cheers!

@taxpolicy – it’s working now. After renaming index.php to something that wordpress couldn’t find, trying to access a page (which of course failed), putting [blog_root]index.php back, AND reloading the [blog_root], it displayed just fine.

Hi Everyone,

I am working on to start my own blog at https://www.ilearnttoday.com

My host is DOTSTER

My wp-admin section works fine.

But the blog (www.ilearnttoday.com) shows a blank page.

This is NOT an update of an existing blog. This is a NEW Installation.

I have ALREADY tried following and NOTHING WORKED so far ??

Installed wordpress latest version SEVERAL TIMES.
Installed wordpress old version (thinking the host doesn’t support new wordpress version)
Renamed Pluggins directory to make it invisible to wordpress
Changed the theme to Classic

If this helps, I chose IIS server and I install my blog on the wwwroot itself (NOT inside a directory)

I am desperate to get my blog up and running. Please Please Please help me!

Really looking forward for your help…
