 * all of a sudden when I try to go to my WP — admin page it doesn’t load. The website
   works fine, but I can’t make any changes to it. It’s just a blank screen. Even
   when I look in Firefox it’s empty. I have not uploaded any plug-ins or anything
   recently. This morning I was working on a page entering content and it worked
   fine. It doesn’t matter if I type in the address directly or not. Any recommendations
   would be greatly appreciated.

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.
 * – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a **fresh** download
   of WordPress.

 * Have you tried:
 * – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme by renaming your current theme’s folder
   in wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients)
   or whatever file management application your host provides.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or phpMyAdmin.
