Title: wp-admin login page Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # wp-admin login page * [alex0_1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alex0_1/) * (@alex0_1) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-login-page/) * Blog site is : [http://alex.velcomweb.ca](http://alex.velcomweb.ca) * After I try to log in to change things the wp-admin page returns as blank. I have searched this problem and it seems that most of the time it is cause by plugins or wordpress version, but not in this case. What could be the reason? I also tried a fresh install, and I encounter the same problem.

The people who were having problems had their blogs for a while on the net, and they knew it was a plugin that caused it because it was after they installed it that their login page didn’t work. So I guess I’m doing something wrong ? * Moderator [t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/) * (@t-p) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-login-page/#post-1750614) * Have you tried: * -switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific issue? * If you don’t have access to your admin area, then access your server via [FTP or SFTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever file management application your host provides. * Thread Starter [alex0_1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alex0_1/) * (@alex0_1) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-login-page/#post-1750615) * It is the default theme that I’m running. Don’t know what else to do. Even if I reinstall the blog, it will experience the same problem. I suspect that it’s the .htaccess file that has something wrong in it.. * # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond%{ REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index. php [L] # END WordPress * Moderator [t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/) * (@t-p) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-login-page/#post-1750619) * > and they knew it was a plugin that caused it because it was after they installed > it that their login page didn’t work. * which plugin they installed? has that plugin been deactivated? * Thread Starter [alex0_1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alex0_1/) * (@alex0_1) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-login-page/#post-1750703) * I was just giving an example for you to understand that in my case this is not caused by X,Y plugin, because I didn’t install any. * Moderator [t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/) * (@t-p) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-login-page/#post-1750705) * Apparently the the troubleshooting steps suggested in previous posts did not resolve the issue. * –[Download WordPress](http://wordpress.org/download/) again and replace your copies of everything **except** the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies. This should replace your core files without changing your content and settings in wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. * Note that some uploaders may not overwrite files reliably, so delete the original files before replacing them. * -if that does not resolve the issue, try [increasing memory](http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP) available for php. * Thread Starter [alex0_1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alex0_1/) * (@alex0_1) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-login-page/#post-1750713) * I did as you told me reinstalled everything except wp-config.php and wp-content, no luck at all. * When I tried to increase memory I get this error: Invalid command ‘Define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’,’, perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration * Someone also wrote “apparently it has to do with the way Apache looks at the index.php file. The following is from the post by k.v.ahuja. * Solution 1 If allowed by your host, putting this in an .htaccess file will solve the problem: DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php * Solution 2 Some hosts allow you to make a change, via their hosting control panel, to the DirectoryIndex. It’s typically described as Indexes or Index documents, but may also require you to type something like DirectoryIndex index.html index. htm index.php or specify index.php as an index type file. * Solution 3 Instruct Apache to treat index.php as an index file. If you own the server, or have access to the http.conf file, simply modify the DirectoryIndex line in httpd.conf to: DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php” * Solution 1 doesn’t work. Don’t know what else to do.. * P.S Can this problem come from the hosting server/company ? * Moderator [t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/) * (@t-p) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-login-page/#post-1750723) * check with your hosting server. Also check even if they allow .htaccess! * Thread Starter [alex0_1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alex0_1/) * (@alex0_1) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-login-page/#post-1750733) * They allow .htaccess * Any more ideas ?
