Thank you so much, Karthikeyan. It is 7:05pm on a Friday night and I made the mistake of assuming I could do a very quick update to my blog by checking what a new theme would look like…

and BAM!

bad mistake. my entire site went blank, including my dashboard!

thanks to you and your great advice. changing the themes to themes_bak using my FTP account was the trick!

I couldn’t even find this solution on the wordpress site.

you ROCK!!! keep up the good work.

Thanks!!!

I couldn’t have thought it could be the “Theme”
I have added “arabic” support i.e. rtl direction to the theme, and apperently, I miss placed a php/html tag somewhere …

Thanks again.

I had the same problem after upgrading my wordpress (I hadn’t upgraded or really checked the site for around 3 years!)

I had over 65,000 comments ALL marked as spam. the admin panel worked, it was just the dashboard which didn’t. I couldn’t use WP to delete – I had to do an SQL statement to remove them.

The dashboard then worked perfectly! Hope maybe this helps someone in the future.

Thanks – this helped me resolve the same issue you had with the empty dashboard. It ended up being an SMS plugin that I had never used but which was activated

All back to normal now

Even I too faced this problem once after installing a theme (I forgot its name), but since I am using WordPress MU, I was able to go to the dashboard of one of my other blogs and from there I accessed the admin page and changed the theme of the blog I was using
