WordPress MU

I have read everything I can about this problem and nothing seems to work.

When go to wp-admin i get redirected here:

http://socialmediaschools.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fsocialmediaschools.com%2Fwp-admin%2Findex.php

The page is completely blank!

Any ideas on what to do??

Thanks

Blank means an error, check your php error logs on the server.

Disable your plugin by renaming the plugins folder. Then you'll have access to the backend.

I renamed the plugins folder and still get the same issue but no error in the error logs.

I then tried to rename theme folder and then the theme itself and I get: [Wed Jun 23 04:37:26 2010] [error] [client 196.210.211.203] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function popular_posts() in /home/charityw/public_html/socialmediaschools.com/wp-content/themes/typebased/footer.php on line 8, referer: http://www.google.co.za/search?hl=af&safe=strict&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&q=social+media+and+schools&btnG=Soek&meta=&cts=1277293015989

Any ideas?

Note in thsoe errors they all refer to a particular theme. You could remove it, which will force that blog to revert to the default theme. then you should be able to get in.

PLEASE IGNORE MY PREVIOUS POST AS I'M AN IDIOT!

I renamed my specific theme folder and I get a blank home page with the same redirect when I try to wp-admin:

http://socialmediaschools.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fsocialmediaschools.com%2Fwp-admin%2F

NO ERROR LOG ENTRY!

Sorry for the previous misinformation.

A blank page means an error. Trying to access just wp-login.php gives a blank screen (and no redirect for me).

You're getting the redirect becasue the system sees you as logged out and it's trying to log you in. But, the error is on the login page.

Disable *all* plugin, even the mu-plugins folder. All of 'em. Not all of them except...

So I moved everything from plugins folder to a folder named OLDPLUGS. As I understand it this should disable ALL plugins. I can't find a mu-plugins folder anywhere. When I go here:

http://socialmediaschools.com/wp-login.php

I get blank page no redirect. When I go here:

http://socialmediaschools.com/wp-admin/

I get redirected here:

http://socialmediaschools.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fsocialmediaschools.com%2Fwp-admin%2F

So then I renamed theme folder and I get the same thing!

These are the only error logs due to footer trying to call a plugin that isn't there:

I don't have any hair left to pull????? Thanks for the help!

Don;t rename the whole themes folder, just the folder for the /typebased/ theme.

That error is because it's pulling a function for a plugin that you just disabled, which is hardcoded in the theme you're using on that blog.

Basically, I'm trying to get you to reset that blog to all the defaults. as if it were a brand spankin' new blog.

your login page is blank because it has an error.
you're getting redirected because you can't login because your login page has an error.

Yes it is quite possibly theme related.

Sorry I wasn't clearer. I renamed the folder typebased by adding another d at the end, not the themes folder. Then all pages are blank and still get same redirect.

I have learned that MU is different than regular WP which is what I'm running.

OK some progress. I uploaded a new wp-login as it was blank. How I don't know. Now when I go here:

http://socialmediaschools.com/members/wp-admin/

or

http://socialmediaschools.com/members/wp-login.php

I get "Error 404 - Page not found!

The page you trying to reach does not exist, or has been moved. Please use the menus or the search box to find what you are looking for"

No error logs!

Because that's the wrong link.

http://socialmediaschools.com/wp-admin/

"I have learned that MU is different than regular WP which is what I'm running. "

Only by about 5%.

Specifically, that /members/ link stuffed in there shows me you're running buddypress, which is a whole nother ball of wax.

But the login and admin area URLS of Wordpress are exactly the same on every site. MU or not.

Problem Solved!

Thanks
