 * Previously I was able to add plugins to the folder and edit them fine after chmodding
   the plugins.
 * Then I added smileys . (that worked fine) . The last thing I did before the plugins
   stopped working was change the code in the admin functions file so the quicktags
   can show in safari. The code I used then I used on my old server and it worked
   well and didn’t effect the plugins at all.
 * My problem now is whenever I try to added or activate any plugins it goes to 
   a white page and doesn’t work. It goes for all of them even when I reupload them
   and the whole folder in general.
 * Any help? Thanks.

 * I have the same problem. I installed WordPress only recently. With prior installations
   it worked fine, but on this website whenever i upload a plugin and try to activate
   it, everything goes blank – the site, the admin, everything.
 * I tried several different plugins. When I delete the plugin from the server all
   goes to normal.
 * Anyone, help please??

 * check your error log. Usually found through cpanel… or sometimes in your public_html
   dir
