 * Breaks the Admin/Dashboard function of WordPress 4.5.2. Disabled all plugins 
   and re-enabled 1 by 1 several times to confirm.

 * Hi zomblogger, are there any other plugins running on your site? What exactly
   does it break on the dashboard?
 * I have not heard this issue before and cannot reproduce it.

 * RavanH,
 * Installed Plugins:
 * AddToAnyShareButtons
    Akismet Backup Google AdSense Google Tag Manager for WordPress
   Social Media Auto Publish
 * Installed Theme: Zombie Apocalypse
 * When I activate XML Sitemap & Google News feeds 4.7.1 after updating to WordPress
   4.5.2,
 * I receive an “Internal Server Error 500” when trying to access the Dashboard:
   
   [http://zomblogger.com/wordpress/wp-admin/index.php](http://zomblogger.com/wordpress/wp-admin/index.php)
 * The actual website, [http://zomblogger.com](http://zomblogger.com), continues
   to function but because I can’t access the Dashboard, I have no administrative
   functionality and cannot create or edit content.
 * I have been using XML Sitemap & Google News feeds on previous WordPress versions
   for several months with no problems. This error occurred only after updating 
   to WordPress 4.5.2.
 * Thank You,
    Jim

 * RavanH,
 * I forgot to mention that while I still have XML Sitemap & Google News feeds 4.7.1
   installed, I have deactivated it due to the issues I had. Probably obvious, but
   I thought I should mention it.
 * Thanks,
    Jim

 * Hi Jim thanks for the additional info! I’ll try to reproduce, installing these
   plugins and theme.
 * Do you have access to server error logs by any chance? An error 500 can mean 
   anything but the logs might reveal where it came from…

 * Hi again, still have not been able to reproduce the issue.
 * Which plugin is “Backup” exactly? There are many of them but none seems to be
   called simply “Backup”. And the “Google Tag Manager for WordPress”? There are
   several with similar names…
 * If you can provide links to their WordPress.org plugin pages I’ll be sure to 
   install the same ones as you have.

 * There is probably a blank line or other stuff (can be a simple space) at the 
   top of your theme’s functions.php (or wp-config.php) before the opening ‘<?php‘
   causing a blank line to appear at the top of all responses that WordPress creates…
   You’ll need to find and remove it.

 * Hi Ravan,
 * I don’t see such errors. Anyway, Google webmaster tools accepted the file, so
   it is ok.
