Blank Page Post upgrade to 3.5 htaccess

  • Hello after upgrade to 3.5 I hit edit page and its blank.
    After much trouble shooting including
    switch themes
    deactivate all plug ins
    look at error log
    in my case nothing in some cases it has helped.

    So I did a complete reinstall from scratch.

    The diffirence was the .htaccess file and the junk in it!

    Also I think it is a permalink problem, if before I did all this I changed my permalink setting I wonder if that may have cleared it? To late now but worth a try.

    This is related to a any security plugins you may have, they add stuff to this file, just remember a raw ht file transfered into your blog may not work as the permalinks! some how connected there.
    On another site,
    What I did was eat my file away one block at a time tell I found the bad area after that I changed my permalinks and bingo it works (of course some manual links are off).

    I hope this helps someone
