 * Hi,
 * I am unable to delete any pages or posts. When I try, I get an internal 500 error
   or a blank white page. I’ve cleared my browser cache and still get these errors.
   I don’t know what else to do.
 * Help!

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems?
 * – resetting your custom permalinks to the WP default setting?
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.
