Title: Blank wp-admin after PHP upgrade Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Blank wp-admin after PHP upgrade * [Bianca Welds](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bianca/) * (@bianca) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-wp-admin-after-php-upgrade/) * My site [http://www.beyondbee.net](http://www.beyondbee.net) is hosted with Bluehost. Earlier today I used the admin section but later I went back and it loaded blank, with no errors. It turns out Bluehost was doing maintenance, upgrading MySQL to 4.1 and PHP to 4.4.1. Why would this blank my admin and what can I do to correct it so I can administer my blog again?

Does anyone have an idea why upgrading to PHP 4.4.1 would blank my admin pages? So far all Bluehost support has done is ask me to give them the login info for my site so they can replicate the problem. I would rather not do that as that gives them admin rights over my blog. * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-wp-admin-after-php-upgrade/#post-284155) * After fixing it you can always change the password 🙂 And you can point them to the post I linked, that blog is also hosted on BH. (not the whole topic, just the last post, describing exactly what your problem is: site working, admin blank) * [geetarista](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geetarista/) * (@geetarista) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-wp-admin-after-php-upgrade/#post-284425) * I, too, am working with Bluehost. This is what they told me: * “This is an issue with recent update we made to php 4.4.1 and mysql 4.1.13. Basically, the wordpress code is outdated and does not comply with current standards. To test on your account and correct the wordpress coding, I just need the admin username and password for your installation.” * I’m on the phone with them right now, so we’ll see what’s going on. * [geetarista](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geetarista/) * (@geetarista) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-wp-admin-after-php-upgrade/#post-284426) * Well, they don’t have anybody that can help me today. The person who I was talking with won’t be back until Monday. Does anyone know how to “correct the wordpress coding”? Is it something simple that I could do, or do they have to do it one their end? * [geetarista](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geetarista/) * (@geetarista) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-wp-admin-after-php-upgrade/#post-284430) * Should I just upgrade my installation to the beta and forget about all this crap? * [Michael Bishop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miklb/) * (@miklb) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-wp-admin-after-php-upgrade/#post-284431) * I assume you are using 1.5.2 version of WP? * [geetarista](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geetarista/) * (@geetarista) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-wp-admin-after-php-upgrade/#post-284432) * Yeah. * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-wp-admin-after-php-upgrade/#post-284433) * Can you escape from what is obviously a useless webhosting company who know nothing and help even less ? * [geetarista](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geetarista/) * (@geetarista) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-wp-admin-after-php-upgrade/#post-284434) * I would like to. But do you think they’ll give me a refund? I’ve only had it for a couple months and I’ve paid the whole year. What would you recommend podz? I want a lot of space, tho. I’ve liked bluehost so far–it’s just this problem that I’ve had. * [geetarista](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geetarista/) * (@geetarista) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-wp-admin-after-php-upgrade/#post-284436) * Ok, something must be going on in the folder itself! I installed beta 2.0 to domain/blog and it works fine. I just upgraded to beta 2.0 and it is doing the same blank page thing!!! What is going on here?! I’m no pro, so I need someone’s help! * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-wp-admin-after-php-upgrade/#post-284438) * Check your themes. If you change theme, does the blank page stay ? * [geetarista](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geetarista/) * (@geetarista) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-wp-admin-after-php-upgrade/#post-284441) * How do I change themes if I can’t get into admin? * [geetarista](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geetarista/) * (@geetarista) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-wp-admin-after-php-upgrade/#post-284442) * Well, I deleted the theme off my server to see if that did anything. But, alas, it did nothing. * [geetarista](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geetarista/) * (@geetarista) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-wp-admin-after-php-upgrade/#post-284443) * This is ridiculous! I have been going all my files, deleting, re-installing–everything! What is stripping my admin files? When I go “View Source” there’s only stuff from the head with a few scripts and styles, but that’s it. Go here: * [http://robbycolvin.info/wp-admin.htm](http://robbycolvin.info/wp-admin.htm) * Then “View Source” and you can see what happens. What could be doing this? It’s obviously not Bluehost anymore because I have another blog that works fine in the admin. Please help me!
