Identical but independent copy of blog to subdomain (1 post)

    First of all, I feel a bit ashamed for asking this question here. Normally I figure everything out myself, but this time I just can't get it to work.

    My problem is as follows:
    I want to copy my blog (ontdekontwikkelingshulp.com) to a subdomain (development.ontwikkelingshulp.com). The reason for this is that I want to work on the code of the site without making actual visible changes to the original blog.

    Now I copied the SQL database of the original blog by using the backup restore system. So I created a copy of the original database, and gave it a unique name and password.

    Then, I copied all contents of the main folder to the subdomain folder. I changed WP_config by replacing the database name, user, password etcetera. Everything worked fine, and I was able to open de copy of the blog in the subdomain.

    The funny thing is that I can't get access to my wordpress admin page. I get a blank page. So I searched and tried a lot of things to fix this (from triple-checking wp-config to disabling the themes and plugins folders, but nothing worked.

    Now I'm wondering, is there anything I'm doing wrong in this process? Is there a step I forgot?

    Thanks for taking your time to read all of this.

    Cheers,

    Jelle
