3.7.1 white admin page (plus cookie issue for login)
-
Hi there,
I upgraded to WP 3.7.1 and downgraded to NextGen Gallery 1.9.13 (after the bl##dy 2.x version caused serious issues). Everything worked fine – or so I thought.
I now wanted to add a new post, logged in – but got a white screen instead. The blog, however, is still running smoothly.
I looked for solutions, found quite a bit and tried the following, all to no avail:
1) Checked for surplus spaces before or after the php tags in wp-config.php and functions.php
2) Disabled all plugins by renaming the directory via FTP; it had immediate effect on the blog, but once I put in my ID-PW-combination in the login page, I still got the white screen.
3) Disabled the theme by renaming the directory via FTP; same as 2)I usually work with Firefox within the blog, thus, I tried with another browser, i.e. IE9. Curiously, at the login page, I got an error message that my browser would either not support cookies or that they were blocked. I checked (nope) and looked for this problem. In another post, I found the following workaround:
4) Comment out lines 744-746 in wp-login.php (beginning with the line ‘if ( isset($_POST[‘testcookie’])…’
However, it did not work either.Has anyone got an idea what to do instead? I would love to understand the issue (and work on my blog content-wise, not just fixing it…). Thank you very much, indeed!
Cheers
Martin
