It was a theme issue for me. When I renamed the theme, I could login but the site itself went blank. However, since I only had to make minor admin changes, it wasn’t a problem to blank the site till I am done, so for now a workaround has been find and I will see how to deal with the theme later. Thanks for the help.

Thank you, govpatel for the detailed instructions. I will try it – maybe not today because I won’t be at my computer most of the time – and will report if it solves the problem for me.

Doesn’t work for me. ?? I still can’t open the Dashboard – the same blank page. Any other ideas?

I am having the same problem on one of my sites. I didn’t try it with IE because I don’t have it (I use only Linux) and I thought this might be reason for my misery but from your post I see this isn’t the case.

I doubt this is a theme issue because mine is an old install (i.e. WP 3.2. if I am correct) AND I haven’t made any changes since the last time I accessed it without a problem a couple of weeks ago. I don’t think in your case it is a theme issue but if it was fine right before you changed the theme, it might be possible after all.

I haven’t changed the Admin theme – it is the default one.
When I select View Source in the browser, it also shows an absolutely blank screen.
The site itself displays fine, though.

If you still have no site content uploaded, why don’t you reinstall WP itself and see if the problem persists with the default theme? Unfortunately, I do have content and I don’t have the time to try a reinstall and repair in case something goes wrong that could affect the site itself. For now I just can’t login into the Admin area but at least the site is up and running.
