That did the trick. Thanks for the assistance with this issue, Mika- just goes to prove that you guys at Dreamhost rock!!

Yes, but it returns me to https://www.asq-1302.org/wp-admin/, which is blank.

It’s like I’m in a loop of bad responses to your questions ??

When I log in, the WP Admin bar is displayed at the top of all the front end pages of the site, but that’s the only noticeable change.

When I get home from work, I’m going to start dumping debug code into the “wp-admin/index.php”, and try to track down where the error is occurring.

Negative.

When I hit https://www.asq-1302.org/wp-admin/, it stays on that page entirely, with no redirect whatsoever. This is the same behavior for any and all wp-admin pages.

There are two plugins directories at the moment. I have the old version, “plugins.old”, and a fresh copy uploaded from the 3.4.2 source. I’ll reiterate the steps above and disable the plugins as well.

Nope. I renamed the existing themes to themes.old, disabled all the plugins via renaming, and updated the database values. The pages under the /wp-admin directory is still returning blank pages.

Have you tried viewing your site with a different web browser? It sounds like you might have changed the default text size in your browser. Are other sites also looking too large?

I created a new themes folder after renaming the existing version. I copied the twentyeleven theme into the new themes folder, and got blank pages under wp-admin.

I then updated the template and stylesheet entries in *_options to “twentyeleven” and still got blank pages under wp-admin.

The front end of the site DID display the twentyeleven theme. It didn’t make any difference on the back end, however.

Mike,

Thanks for the suggestions. To answer your question, when I log into the site (/wp-login.php), I am returned to the blank screen at /wp-admin. When I view the front end of the site, I now have what I would call the WP Admin bar at the top of each page– dark grey, it has links to the dashboard, adding new pages, editing the existing page, and so on. Each of those links, which all seem to live under the wp-admin directory, returns a blank screen.

To clarify what I was doing with the themes, here are the steps I would take:
1) Rename the existing theme “existingtheme.old”
2) Rename “twentyeleven” to “existingtheme”
3) Hit the front end of the site– twentyeleven is now the theme, but the wp-admin functionality is still returning a blank.

Within that context, I’m not sure how updating the name of the theme in the *_options table would change anything, but I did try it– no luck, same results.

I’ve since gone into the index.php file under wp-admin, and added a hello world output at the very top. It does show up on screen, so I guess I’m going to start dropping lots of debug code in there to see where things are going south.
