Can’t Access My Dashboard

[Linden]

I’m trying out wordpress for the first time and everything was going really well until yesterday I couldn’t access my dashboard. When I go to http://www.mydomain.com/wp-admin nothing happens,there’s just a white screen. Everything seemed fine on the front end but after clearing my cache only the index page worked and when I clicked onto another page it just went to a white page.

I just have one plugin activated for twitter feeds. I did edit my functions.php file but I tried to upload the original file but that didn’t work.

The site I’m messing around on is http://www.wordpress.barrywalsh-portfolio.com

Any ideas on how I could fix this would be much appreciated!

The problem is when I update m y functions.php file. I’m trying to add the snippet to display my recent posts. As I said I’m new to wordpress so my fuctions.php file to:

Code:

‘

OK have it sorted now by removing the first snippet. Hopefully that won’t cause any problems.

Sounds like the snippet you added had an error or two in the PHP, which caused the white pages. Looks like you may have bypassed the problem by removing the code, but I did notice an unnecessary "," that may have been causing the issue:

Code:

if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) ) {
register_sidebar(array(
‘before_widget’ => ‘

‘,
‘after_widget’ => ‘

‘,
‘before_title’ => ‘

‘,
‘after_title’ => ‘

‘, <-- unnecessary "," )); }

I haven’t gone through the code line by line, but that is an obvious thing that might be the source of the error.

Cheers for that.

So since i changed my functions php file I removed the snippet to call jquery in the head.php file. So when I put it back in the site stops working again and I’ve got the white screen when I try to go to the "profile" page and and log in to the dashboard.

Here’s the code:

Code:

posts WHERE post_status = ‘publish’ AND post_type=’post’ ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT $no_posts”;

$posts = $wpdb->get_results($request);

if($posts) {

foreach ($posts as $posts) {
$post_title = stripslashes($posts->post_title);
$permalink = get_permalink($posts->ID);

$output .= ‘

‘ . htmlspecialchars($post_title) . ‘

‘;

if($excerpts) {
$output.= ‘
‘ . stripslashes($posts->post_excerpt);
}

$output .= ‘

‘;
}

} else {
$output .= ‘

No posts found

‘;
}

echo $output;
}
?>

Ok I think I’ve solved the problem now, thanks to an article on digging into wordpress. Hopefully it’s all sorted now!
