If you find youself with a blank admin screen in Wordpress it's probably because of a plugin issue. You can disbale all of your plugins in the database and re-enable them one by one using this method.

  1. Make a backup of your database

  2. Login your databse via phpMyAdmin

  3. Click SQL

  4. Paste this code in to the Run SQL Query box and click "Go" 

UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = '' WHERE option_name = 'active_plugins';

 

5. You will see this message if successful.  You can now re-enable your plugins one by one.
