  • Did ANYONE notice that this problem occurs ONLY in firefox. Well, may be it is so only with me.

    I tried to view my dashboard of wordpress 2.5.1(“without” commenting the wp_dashboard_setup() line in wp-admin/index.php) in firefox. Its a blank page.

    I viewed the same dashboard, in both internet explorer and Opera. It shows up perfectly normal.

    I don’t know why.

    Hi, Well. Frankly speaking I had 2 issues.
    1. When I log in to my blog, and go to my dashboard, my dashboard turns out to be a blank page. It never loads.

    To resolve this issue, I looked up for a solution on google. When I searched for “dashboard is a blank page in wordpress 2.5.1” in google, it led me to this link via a post in this same forum. [link: https://whiffer.net/2008/04/11/wp-25-blank-admin-page-fix/]

    The author of the article on the resulting page suggested to comment out “wp_dashboard_setup();” line in index.php in the folder “wp-admin”.

    I did it and it worked like a charm. Problem is that you loose functionality. The dashboard doesn’t show any info on “recent comments”, “incoming links”, “plugins” in use, etc.

    But it also caused another problem. Me not being able to install widgets in my sidebar. Now, I un-commented the “wp_dashboard_setup();” line.
    What happened?
    A. My dashboard appears with full functionality, rather than a blank page (!?).
    B. I can now save my changes to my sidebars ??

    I don’t know why “wp_dashboard_setup();” was the culprit. ??
    Can anyone help me figure out.
