 * Hello,
 * My wp-admin is coming up blank. I’ve tried disabling plugins, overwriting wp-
   admin/index.php with a fresh one and some other files and it made no difference.
   I’ve spent over two hours today trying various things with no luck. Any advice?
 * The site is [http://nesoccertoday.com/](http://nesoccertoday.com/) and the front
   end is working just fine. WP-Admin was working fine last night and I have now
   idea what changed between now and then.
 * Thanks!

 * Try [manually resetting your plugins](https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)(
   no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one
   individually until you find the cause.
 * If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via [FTP or SFTP](https://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients),
   navigate to `/wp-content/themes/` and rename the directory of your currently 
   active theme. This will force the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-
   out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

 * Thanks.
 * I’ve tried both and neither made wp-admin reappear – when I renamed my currently
   active them my site (main page and all) did not load at all. If it means anything,
   the mobile app seems to be fully functional as far as approving comments and 
   adding posts.

 * Do you have a folder called “twentyfourteen” in wp-content/themes?
 * If not, download and upload it from [https://wordpress.org/themes/twentyfourteen](https://wordpress.org/themes/twentyfourteen)
   and then try renaming the directory of your currently active theme again.

 * I do and actually tried replacing the whole themes folder temporarily with a 
   fresh one from a wordpress install zip, but still the whole site was blank.

 * And you did reset your plugins either via FTP or the Database?
 * If so, and that didn’t work, try [downloading WordPress](https://wordpress.org/download/)
   again and delete then replace your copies of everything **except** the `wp-config.
   php` file and the `/wp-content/` directory with fresh copies from the download.
   This will effectively replace all of your core files without damaging your content
   and settings. Some uploaders tend to be unreliable when overwriting files, so
   don’t forget to delete the original files before replacing them.

 * I did disable plugins and it still didn’t work.
 * I guess that’ll have to be my next step. having my host take a look now.
 * Thanks!
