# plugins.php blank page

 * After installing a plugin, my plugins.php page went blank. This has happened 
   to me a couple times before, and I was able to fix the error by deleting the 
   installed plugin via FTP. This time, though, deleting the recently added plugin
   did not fix the issue.
 * update-core.php is also blank. But the rest of the admin and the front-end of
   the site all work perfectly fine. I just cannot view my existing plugins or execute
   updates inside admin.
 * While I’ve used WordPress for years, I’ve never had to do much in the way of 
   fooling with the php code and/or reinstalling stuff, so feel free to talk to 
   me like a noob. Any help is appreciated.

 * I started re-naming the remaining installed plugins one-by-one and refreshing
   the page. After re-naming “All-in-One Event Calendar by Timely” the page returned
   to working.
 * And then even after re-naming it back to it’s proper name and re-activating, 
   everything still works. Weird.

    Thank you. That
   was exactly the answer I needed. I simply deactivated my W3-Total-Cache plugin
   and suddenly my plugins.php page was blank. Couldn’t see my plugins list. I tried
   renaming the W3-total-cache folder and other files, but no help. Then I renamed
   the All-in-One-Events folder and the plugins page worked fine. Finally I renamed
   both All-in-One and W3-Total-Cache back to the original names and everything 
   worked. I love the All-in-One Events plugin but it is buggy. For example, I use
   the WP-migrate plugin to backup my database to my local machine because it handles
   the renaming of the links in the database. But I have to deactivate All-in-One
   first or the migration will fail. Pity.

 * Glad I could stumble into your solution, Maury! Two birds with one stone or something
   like that. And I agree, it’s an amazing plugin. Too bad it seems to have some
   issues.
 * Cheers!
