Blank WordPress Dashboard

For a long while now I have been having a problem with my installation with WordPress. When using the admin any time I click on the dasboard link it would load an almost blank.

Blank WordPress Dashboard

I fully expected this to be a bug in WordPress, that would be fixed in the latest upgrade. But to my shock it wasn’t fixed. Now it was just driving me nutty, so I started digging in my personal log. I know; strange that I would keep one.  I looked back to around the time it had started acting this way. After a few hours wasted this morning I finally found the culprit.

Some time back It was suggested by a few other bloggers that you place an empty index.php file in your plugin directory. Well it turns out you can customize the dashboard page with your own index.php file in the plugin directory.

If your having the same problem the solution is easy rename the index.php file to index.htm. In the mean time I’m going to look into what fun I can have making my own custom dashboard page…

  1. Great tip! Worked first time. So simple rename index.php in the plugins folder to index.html

    I have to agree though the default dashboard in wordpress is dull, there are so many more things you could do with it, perhaps even managed several blogs at once from the same page? Just a thought…

  4. I didn’t work for me. I’m still getting a blank page.

  5. Hi Anthony here from wordpressmonster.org, the blank page in admin either when you add something or it just happens is normally related to the memory space being full you can increase memory space with a simple htaccess file added to the root directory of your wordpress blog. I have added a download of a htaccess file to wordpressmonster.org for anyone to use this should cure your wordpress blank page problem just unzip the file then upload the htaccess file to the root of your blog anyone who is not confident in doing the please contact me for help.
