Any plugins in particular? Please provide some more information so we can try to help
Hi LesBessant, thanks for being willing to help.
I have been trying to activate some contact form plugins such as wp-contact, intouch, contact form ][ etc. Every time I try to activate them the pages go blank – both Admin pages and Blog pages. When i delete the plugin everything goes back to normal.
So I am trying to see if it is the firewall… any advice?
Thanks!
if pages go blank, that’s generally a code issue, a php error. nothing to do with firewalls. And the things you mentioned generally don’t ‘do much’ in terms of network traffic that might hit a firewall until ‘used’, so just activating them wouldn’t be a firewall-related issue.
sometimes compatability issues between plugins, plugin and wp version, or plugin and PHP version/settings.

If you’re using wp version 2.0.5, you might need to install the “fix-it” plugin from Mark Jaquith: http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2006/10/28/some-wordpress-205-users-reporting-server-500-error/#comment-5826
That’s the thread on his site with all the info re the problems people are having. Somewhere on there is a link to the plugin itself.
