# New Plugins Kill WordPress Installation?

 * The last few plugins I installed and activated ‘killed’ WordPress.
 * I’d upload a plugin, go to the plugins page, activate it… and the page would 
   go blank. And if I went to the root of my WP installation in a browser, the page
   would be blank.
 * So I’d delete the plugin with my FTP client, and my site would be back.
 * Thinking it was a plugin compatibility issue, I deactivated all of my plugins
   and tried again with the same result.
 * Now I’ve gone through and deleted any plugins I don’t use and I’m having the 
   same issue – I just can’t intall and run any new plugins.
 * Has anyone else suffered these symptoms?
 * WP 2.0.2, [http://www.goblinbox.com](http://www.goblinbox.com)

 * First a bit more information.
 * 1) What theme?
    2) Which plugins are causing you problems? 3) Which plugins are
   already activated?

    I upload a plugin, login to WP, go to Plugins, and activate the 
   new plugin. The page refreshes… and is blank. So is the rest of the WP installation:
   blank. I have to go to my plugins directory and delete the new plugin for the
   site to come back.

 * I’m the author of PhoneBlogz. An earlier version of the PhoneBlogz plugin did
   this – it was due to there being blank space at the end of one of the PHP files
   after the closing ?> tag. This blank space was being output to the client and
   then the WP core code tried to output some headers. because the blank lines had
   been output by the PB plugin, PHP complained that headers couldn’t be added because
   the page body was already being displayed.
 * This was fixed a few versions back.
