    Hi everybody,

    My problems:
    I’m getting an error code 500 in Chrome and a blank page in my other browsers when I try to create a new page or post.
    When I look at my list of already created posts and pages nothing shows up. I can see the number of all pages, published, drafts, and trash perfectly fine. I can even see all of my categories, but the space that should be populated with the list is blank.

    My attempts so far:
    I’ve deactivated all of my plugins from the plugins panel… no help.
    Removed all plugins from the ftp… nothing.
    Updated my theme via ftp… nada.
    Searched for an htaccess doc to edit (like I’ve seen in many posts) but didn’t find one.

    My situation:
    I’m working off a local server closed off from out of network access (so I can’t link anyone to my site) and according to my network admin everything is working as it should on the server.
    All of my pages themselves display fine when I browse to them.

    Any guidance would be GREATLY appreciated.

  • Try checking your server’s error logs for a more specific error message.

    I asked my admin for server error logs, but while I’m waiting on that is there anything I can try without knowing specifically what’s going on?

    Try:
    – switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

    – re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

    – running the upgrade manually via wp-admin/upgrade.php

    By George, I think we’ve got it!!

    I tried renaming the theme which didn’t work (it said that I didn’t have permission). So I downloaded it and removed it. Went back to view, got a straight blank white page. Activated another theme. Got the error 500 on every page.

    Re-uploaded all the wordpress files from a fresh download and now it looks good to go! Thanks so much!!!

    Glad to hear that you’re back up & running.
