wp-admin and other admin area pages not loading

    I’ve been running wordpress sites for several years now, and usually use 1and1.com for hosting. I have never had any issues with them. My current site has to be hosted on a different server. It’s a very different experience using this server. I can only connect via SSH, which is tedious, and I have to contact their support people for any server changes, creation of databases, creation of sub-domains etc. Just a different experience.

    At somepoint in building this site, loading site.com/wp-admin/ produced a blank page! luckily auto fill in safari remembered some deeper admin area pages, so when I go to the themes page I can bob around using the admin nav, but I cannot EDIT PAGES. Anyone have an idea? I’m stumped.

    Could it be the .htaccess file i created with instructions on the permalinks page?

    This is happening on two different sites hosted at the same server.

    I’m using Woo Themes for both. Hustle and Function.

    Try:
    – switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

    – re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of your current version of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

    @esmi: I was on this track
    I switched to default theme. No difference.

    I have no plugins installed

    I re-uploaded. No change.

    This is the second server-type issue I’ve come across with 1&1 in the last couple of hours.

    Many hosts recently experienced problems due to mass attacks recently and temporarily disabled access to wp-admin and/or wp-login.php as a result. 1&1 were one of them. I suspect that your current problem is the result of this. You need to contact them about it.

    @esmi, re-read OP. This issue is not with 1and1. I normally use them without problems, but this issue is with a different host.

    This issue is not with 1and1.

    Sorry – I misunderstood your original post. However, the same still applies. Contact your hosts.

    @esmi, yeah, got the support folks looking into it. Will see.
