Blank pages when submitting forms in admin panel

  • Latest version 2.6.2. Installation worked fine, got the message it completed fine. Tables exist etc.

    No plug-ins. No themes.

    Try and edit any page or do any action that requires me to hit a submit button – it goes to a blank page.

    Have tried multiple browsers, rebooting, nothing. So it isn’t a cache error.

    Running mysql 4.1.22 PHP Version 4.3.9

    Sorry if this has been posted before, haven’t seen it.

    thanks

  • turn on debugging.

    put this in your wp-config.php:

    define('WP_DEBUG',true);

    try something again, see what happens.

    I have the same problem (using PHP 5.2.6, mySQL 5.0.5) – blank page when trying to connect to the adminpage.

    thanks whooami, tried it and still just entirely blank, no info displayed.

    Little bit more data, it does save any changes I submit, it just doesn’t refresh the page correctly after the submit. Argh.

    Check your error log. There may be a memory restriction that often leads to blank pages.

    Paste your log here if you see anything out of the ordinary.

    I’m having the exact same issue I tried enabling the WP_DEBUG to no avail. I’ll try and get logs but if anyone has any ideas let me know.

    Ok after some more googling, I found that this problem actually came from my theme. The functions.php file had multiple <?php ?> tags and this was causing errors as there was spaces in between. See below..

    `<?php
    if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) )
    register_sidebar(array(
    ‘before_widget’ => ”,
    ‘after_widget’ => ”,
    ‘before_title’ => ‘<h4>’,
    ‘after_title’ => ‘</h4>’,
    ));
    ?>

    <?php // for sidebar.php if needed ?>
    <?php if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : endif; ?>`
