I discovered the source of my problem and possibly it can help others.

I had hoped to change the DNS and have the site intact and live. As a result, I uploaded the WordPress files in a ZIP file through the CPanel and unzipped it on the server.

For my server at least, this apparently corrupted the WordPress files.

I had thought the WordPress files might be the problem, so for one site I uploaded the files through FTP and did an overwrite of the existing files. That didn’t resolve the problem either. However, when I deleted all the WordPress files on the server and uploaded them using FTP, the problem complete resolved.

I’m having this problem with WP sites I’m moving to a new server. I’m beginning to think it’s a setting on the server because these same sites worked on the old server.

I deactivated all the plugins, backed up the database, installed on the new server – and it works fine until I start reactivating plugins. At some point, the admin screen goes blank when reactivating plugins. If I go back in the browser and refresh the page – no problem. No errors, and the plugin that caused the problem is activated.

However, when I log out I get another blank screen (no login box) and I usually have trouble logging back in again as well.

Like Dave, I am now searching the forums and this site for possible solutions.
