 * Just finished installing and when I try to write a post or write a page the window
   is blank. Tried viewing on a mac and a pc.
 * I don’t see any form to fill out or anything….just the navagational bar and that
   is it. Other functions seem to be working (ie I can change themes)
 * Tried to re-install post.php but that didn’t change anything.
 * What can I do?
 * thanks

 * I take it, you mean when you click “Submit,” the results page afterward is what’s
   blank? I had the same problem, plus, after I’d activate or deactivate a plugin,
   it would come up blank, but I could do other things without that problem. Do 
   you have plugins installed?
 * I would suggest deactivating all your plugins, then reactivating them, one by
   one. The blank pages after activating plugins stopped until one of the plugins
   produced an error that I hadn’t seen before. I deactivated it again and activated
   the rest of them, one by one, and had no problems after that. I can’t use that
   plugin, apparently. The plugin that was causing the problem was Spoiler Plugins
   1.5. However, I was able to edit it the way I’d previously used it with WP version
   1.5.2 and got it working with the other plugins. I don’t know what the problem
   actually was; I just copy-pasted the old file as I’d set it up for my site and
   used that. If you’re using this plugin and want a copy as I edited it (and you
   can change colors and whatnot as you wish), just let me know.

 * thanks for the reply.
 * I don’t have any plugins installed.
 * The problem is when I go to begin to write a post.
 * I go to [http://scraptalk.com/blog/wp-admin/post.php](http://scraptalk.com/blog/wp-admin/post.php)
   
   and I only see the navigation bar saying dashboard, write, mangage, etc. Then
   underneath that I see write post, write page…and then under that a white space.
 * If I click on write post or write page it still stays white

 * Oh, sorry, I’m not sure what that would be, but if nothing works, you might try
   reinstalling WordPress.
