    Hi,
    I’m using WordPress 3.0.
    Everything was fine until this morning. When I tried to log into WP, I got the white screen of death.
    http://rsicarpaltunnelblog.com/wp-admin
    So, i tried http://rsicarpaltunnelblog.com/wp-login.php and got the login screen (yay), but when I logged in, another completely white screen displayed (boo).

    I renamed my plugins folder pluginsORIG and still can’t access the admin area.
    I renamed wp-admin folder and uploaded a fresh wp-admin folder. Same results.
    I renamed wp-includes folder and uploaded a fresh wp-includes folder. Same thing.

    By the way…I was working on this site (it’s a client’s site) for a week…logging in and out via
    …/wp-admin with no problems. My client hasn’t been active on the site, so I know it’s nothing she has done to foul things up.

    I added the following to my wp-config.php (per some instructions on other threads)
    define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
    define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’ );

    Doesn’t change a thing, and no error messages.

    I’m out of options here…any other suggestions?
    Thanks in advance,
    Lori

    Try deleting your active theme and then it will revert to the default. If it then works it will be a problem with your theme.

    99% of the time that I get a white screen it is an issue with the themes functions.php file.

    OH…that is just plain WIERD!!!! It worked.
    What i DON’T understand is why it all of a sudden went weird on me. I’ve been using Thesis 1.7 from the beginning with no problems…now all of a sudden this happens.
    I’ll have to poke around in Thesis’s custom_functions.php and see if there’s anything wonky there.

    Thank you!

    OK…it was an improperly commented function call in my Thesis custom_functions.php file…sheesh.

    So add one more thing to the list of possible fixes for the white screen of death.
    CHECK YOUR CODE 🙂

    It’s funny how you stare at something so long, you don’t even see what’s in front of you.
    All fixed, now.
