Never mind, it’s fixed now! A dev friend on Facebook pointed me to this support fix: [http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/127427/how-to-fix-empty-dashboard-issue-in-wordpress/127486#127486](http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/127427/how-to-fix-empty-dashboard-issue-in-wordpress/127486#127486) and it worked like a charm. Now I’m going to update to the newest WP version so it doesn’t happen again. * Thanks for all your effort and suggestions! I appreciate you taking the time to try and help! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Dashboard won't load after logging in](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dashboard-wont-load-after-logging-in/) * Thread Starter [beans_etc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beans_etc/) * (@beans_etc) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dashboard-wont-load-after-logging-in/#post-5720760) * I renamed the current “fangirl” directory to “fangirl_rename” and uploaded the unzipped twentyeleven theme. (Turns out I already had a twentyeleven theme installed but I replaced the file anyway with the new one.) * Unfortunately, still no luck. If you go to [http://www.beans-etc.com/fangirl/](http://www.beans-etc.com/fangirl/) now you’ll see that the front end of the website just doesn’t load at all when I change the theme. When I use Chrome’s inspect element tool, the blog coding isn’t there. * Any suggestions? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Dashboard won't load after logging in](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dashboard-wont-load-after-logging-in/) * Thread Starter [beans_etc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beans_etc/) * (@beans_etc) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dashboard-wont-load-after-logging-in/#post-5720714) * Yes. My current theme is called “fangirl” — I went into my themes directory and changed the folder called “fangirl” to “fangirl_test”, but it didn’t do anything other than make the front end of my blog not load. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Dashboard won't load after logging in](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dashboard-wont-load-after-logging-in/) * Thread Starter [beans_etc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beans_etc/) * (@beans_etc) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dashboard-wont-load-after-logging-in/#post-5720712) * Thanks for the suggestions, but unfortunately neither of them seems to have worked. First I tried the instructions: * > Or reset your plugins folder via FTP or the file manager provided in your host’s > control panel. > Via FTP or your host’s file manager, navigate to the wp-contents folder (directory) > > Via FTP or your host’s file manager, rename the folder “plugins” to “plugins. > hold” Login to your WordPress administration menus (/wp-admin) Via FTP or your > host’s file manager, rename “plugins.hold” back to “plugins” * Afterwards I refreshed my Dashboard but it was still just a blank page. I also tried clearing my cache and cookies, but to no avail. * I then tried your suggestion with renaming the theme directory, but when I refreshed the Dashboard nothing changed — the only thing that was different was the front- end of my blog no longer displayed anything anymore either. (I have since changed the theme directory back to it’s regular name.) * Is there anything else I can try? I’m afraid I’m really out of my depth on this one. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Display different amount of posts than set in your "Reading Settings" section?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-different-amount-of-posts-than-set-in-your-reading-settings-section/) * Thread Starter [beans_etc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beans_etc/) * (@beans_etc) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-different-amount-of-posts-than-set-in-your-reading-settings-section/#post-1954608) * Nope, still doesn’t appear to work. :c (Thank you very much for all the help you’re offering though, I really appreciate it.) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Display different amount of posts than set in your "Reading Settings" section?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-different-amount-of-posts-than-set-in-your-reading-settings-section/) * Thread Starter [beans_etc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beans_etc/) * (@beans_etc) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-different-amount-of-posts-than-set-in-your-reading-settings-section/#post-1954605) * I added the one new line (as far as I can tell it’s just the one line you added, correct?) and it didn’t appear to change anything. * This is an example of an monthly archive page with more than 6 posts — as you can see it still has the pagination link at the bottom to view more: [http://www.beans-etc.com/fangirl/2008/12/](http://www.beans-etc.com/fangirl/2008/12/) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Possible to retrieve permalinks within wp_list_bookmarks?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/possible-to-retrieve-permalinks-within-wp_list_bookmarks/) * Thread Starter [beans_etc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beans_etc/) * (@beans_etc) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/possible-to-retrieve-permalinks-within-wp_list_bookmarks/#post-1590098) * Thanks for the tip.

Every time I search for something like “RSS feed plugin” or anything it always seems to come up with the reverse of what I want — getting your blog as an RSS.

I’m not very php savvy, so I assumed that meant it couldn’t be used to show text. * I’ll try this to see if it works, thanks~ * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Displaying category name without link](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/displaying-category-name-without-link/) * Thread Starter [beans_etc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beans_etc/) * (@beans_etc) * [18 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/displaying-category-name-without-link/#post-829403) * I did. There’s a similar one “single_cat_title”, but it only seems to work if you’re on the single page for the category itself. I need it to be able to display the name of the post category, not the current page category. Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total)
