# Blank wp-admin/plugins.php

 * I’m a longtime WordPress user, so I know the upgrade drill. I did everything 
   as described in the instructions, including deactivating all plugins beforehand
   and then reactivating them post-upgrade.
 * All was well until, mysteriously, wp-admin/plugins.php just ceased to function.
   I hadn’t changed anything, only posted an entry. Now all it shows is a blank 
   page. Any help would be appreciated.

 * Seems similar to [this person’s](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/104057) problem..
   Try what I said [here](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/104057?replies=2#post-512712),
   if that don’t work, maybe someone else can help you better..? Good luck.

 * How I fixed it: I renamed my plugins folder, reloaded the plugins page (which
   showed up, minus any plugins), then renamed my plugins folder back to “plugins”.
   I then had to reactivate each plugin, but all is now functional.

 * oh my word; you so rock cygnoir!
    this not only solved my problem, but should
   be posted somewhere as an easy way to deactivate all plug-ins during an upgrade!
   thanks!!!
