 * Hey Guys,
 * I’ve been testing out a few twitter plugins on my site and have run in to a problem.
   Any time I activate a plugin it brings up a white screen. Even if I try to pull
   up another page within the admin section it stays blank. I end up having to pull
   up the site via FTP, and delete the plugin files and then it works again.
 * Any idea what could be causing this? I’ve tried multiple plugins – all claim 
   to be compatible with 3.0.
 * Thanks for any help.

 * Same thing.
 * I think I’ve figured it out though. Went through every single plugin and disabled
   it. Then one by one by one turned them on. A Rich Text Widget plugin gave a php
   error and when I left it off I was able to get things up and running.
 * Thanks.
