Dashboard is Emty – WSOD – but returns error message
-
After following a couple of other posts on the same issue I’m going to open this thread.
My Dashboard area has the left navigation menu but right side is blank (White Screen of death = WSOD)
Some background on my set-up: I have two sites. Site ONE has been recently upgraded to 3.7.1 and resides at the top level domain hepburnhome.ca Site TWO is a subdomain in subfolder on server (help.hepburnhome.ca) and has been neglected for a while, ver WP 3.3.1 (? not sure) and last week though I should check in. WSOD!!! NOTHING has been done to this site, DB or it’s directory for months, so I’m figuring out what happened and why.
What I’ve Done:
- Disabled plug-ins both manually and rename DIR
- repaired DB through phpmyadmin all tables fine
- entered Debug mode in wp-config.php
- checked server error logs: Nothing
- Disabled second WP site on same server (not Multi-site)
- Using PHP 5.4 and turned error logging on in settings (but not sure where log files are on host)
I got the following error message from the rendered HTML on the dashboard; it was the last line of code:
<b>Fatal error</b>: Access to undeclared static property: WP_Screen::$this in <b>/home/hepburn/public_html/help/wp-admin/includes/screen.php</b> on line <b>706</b>
I know from reading other threads (see below) that the solution seems to be to overwrite/replace the site with the latest WP files. This seems to be a shot-gun approach. My Theme will not be compatible and I’m not wanting to update it right now. So I’m looking for a more surgical approach.
Suggestions on next action anyone?
