Title: wp-admin isnt loading Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # wp-admin isnt loading * [bcarlson41](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bcarlson41/) * (@bcarlson41) * [16 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-isnt-loading/) * I have just installed wordpress on my site today. I have two issues happening. 1_ when you go to my URL [http://www.carlsondesignco.com](http://www.carlsondesignco.com) where it is installed it does not load the page. If i go to [http://www.carlsondesignco.com/index.php](http://www.carlsondesignco.com/index.php) it did load up. BUT now when i go there it loads the page as simple text, no CSS is applied. When i try to go to my wp-admin page, it loads the same thing. My dashboard does not come up. I don’t know what happened or how to fix it. * Any help?

Step one would be to delete the default placeholder page that is currently in your site directory, and-or- by configuring your default pages.

It gives this message. How can I solve this? Making it very scary.

When you click on Site Admin it just defaults back to the same index page over and over. * I’ve removed the database in Fantastico and removed the WP files and tried reinstalling, but the same things happens each time. * [http://healthwealthmatters.com](http://healthwealthmatters.com) * [Brian Harris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zgani/) * (@zgani) * [16 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-isnt-loading/#post-1183886) * For those of you who are having blank pages and non-css formating its because not all the files were uploaded correctly or are incomplete. You need to re-upload the wp-admin and wp-includes folders. * The theme ralated issue means its not compatible with current version of wordpress, if it is then again incomplete upload. * [@jswching](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jswching/) – your theme’s functions. php is interfering with your login.php. Try deactivating it by renaming it via your ftp. * Would be helpful if you can paste what line 633 says. * In any case you should try to get your installation working with the default theme before uploading/using a new one and activating any plugins. * [s_ha_dum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apljdi/) * (@apljdi) * [16 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-isnt-loading/#post-1183889) * kalynna, something is weird with your stylesheet. I’ve tried three different ways to grab your stylesheet and I always get the home page in source. In other words, something is causing your front page to load as if [it were the stylesheet](http://healthwealthmatters.com/wp-content/themes/default/style.css/). Your background image also redirects in the same weird way– [try it](http://healthwealthmatters.com/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickbg-ltr.jpg/). Have you edited anything– .htaccess maybe? Have you disabled all plugins? * [kalynna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kalynna/) * (@kalynna) * [16 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-isnt-loading/#post-1183899) * Actually, I deleted the whole installation for other reasons from my cPanel, and database via Fantastico. Now as I try to reinstall, you see what’s happening. * I haven’t edited any files but maybe there is an edit that needs to happen to the .htaccess? * Clearly, the way I deleted the blog the first time has affected reinstalling, but the why is beyond my WP knowledge. * [s_ha_dum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apljdi/) * (@apljdi) * [16 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-isnt-loading/#post-1183923) * Are you reinstalling via Fantastico? If so, search the forums. There is something weird you have to do when you do that– delete some hidden file I think it is.( Sorry. I can’t remember exactly.) I’d suggest not using a script though.

I did recopy over the wp-admin and wp-includes folders and it didnt do anything. Thanks to all of you who have given me suggestions!
