   I changed permalinks on my wordpress installation and soon started getting white blank pages every time I published a post/comment or saved some settings in WordPress admin area. (needless to say the .htaccess was updated by wordpress during the permalink change)

   E.g. ....categories.php would return a blank page, ....post.php would return a blank page, etc.

   I reverted to the old permalinks setting and then my wordpress admin became inaccessible and wp-admin returned a blank page.

   I restored a database backup from 26th april but still the problem remained! :O

   At this point I created a fresh database and populated all tables except wp_options table (since it is the one containing permalink and rewrite rules settings) from my latest database and let the fresh wordpress install populate the wp_options field.

   After this the wp-admin became accessible (thank god!) but even now I am getting a blank page when I post a comment/post or save some settings under wordpress dashboard.

   I am a wordpress user since many years and very much savvy with it. I have left no stone unturned to fix this. Did everything! Is something wrong with my server!? In which case, will changing the server help?

   I wish to add that at this point if I set the default theme then I am not getting a blank page anymore! But upon switching back to the current theme, the problem reappears!

   All plugins are deactivated too, I even renamed the plugins folder and created a new empty folder and named it 'plugins' because at times even inactive plugins may create problems (so I heard).
