 * Okay, I am lost here and for once both Google and forms have failed me. I had
   to reload the website I manage from a back up because of a crash. Everything 
   works again, but for one tiny important page. That would be the media index page
   on the dashboard (link is /wp-admin/upload) The other users and I can upload 
   images into posts and can see all the images, but there is no way to manage the
   library. I have tryed replacing the file, and the wp-admin folder for that matter,
   with a fresh copy from the 2.9.1 download.
 * A post said something about the .htaccess file, and I can not find that to look
   at it, but Im not sure of thats the issue.
 * help!

 * Have you tried re-uploading the wp-includes folder from a **fresh** download 
   of WordPress?

 * Try repairing your database and see if that helps at all.

 * By ‘blank’ do you mean that it is completely white or that it only partially 
   loads?

 * Esmi: How would I try to repair the database?
 * Apljdi: When the page loads, its a white blank page. When I look at the source,
   it shows :

 * Sounds like you have a problem in your header.php template file.

 * If you browse your database via PhpMyAdmin you should see notices about tables
   in need of repair.
 * It also sounds to me like a problem with header.php. Open your theme’s header.
   php file in a text editor and post the next few (10 or so) lines that come immediately
   after that last part that loaded (the IE conditional). Hopefully enough of that
   is hard-coded into the theme that you can find it easily.

 * Or you could drop a complete copy of your theme’s header.php file in the [WordPress pastebin](http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/)
   and post the pastebin url here.

 * I looked at the tables in phpadmin and I didnt see any thing that said a table
   needed to be repaired.
 * Here is the pastbin link to my header.php file: [http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1792158](http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1792158)
 * Im lost as to how the theme’s header file deals with WordPress’s upload.php file
   though.

 * That’s maybe because I’m an idiot. This is the `wp-admin/admin-header.php` file
   and it is failing somewhere in here (2.9.1):
 *     ```
       54  do_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', $hook_suffix);
         55  do_action("admin_print_styles-$hook_suffix");
         56  do_action('admin_print_styles');
         57  do_action("admin_print_scripts-$hook_suffix");
         58  do_action('admin_print_scripts');
         59  do_action("admin_head-$hook_suffix");
         60  do_action('admin_head');
         61
         62  if ( get_user_setting('mfold') == 'f' ) {
         63      $admin_body_class .= ' folded';
         64  }
         65
         66  if ( $is_iphone ) { ?>
         67  <style type="text/css">.row-actions{visibility:visible;}</style>
         68  <?php } ?>
       ```
   
 * I’d comment those do_actions one by one until, hopefully, the page loads. That
   might help narrow down the source of the problem.
 * Its probably worth [upping the memory limit](http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP)
   as well.

 * Got it!!!!
    it was the do_action(‘admin_print_scripts’); line. It makes me wonder
   though if that will cause something else to not work down the line. Ah well this
   problem is fixed and I will cross that bridge if it comes to it
 * I also upped the memory limit to, that was something I had done before but I 
   guess new file didnt get backed up afterwards
 * Thanks apljdi & esmi for your help!

 * It will definitely cause something else to not work down the line. It probably
   already has. Commenting that was for debugging, not for fixing. You should probably
   look in your plugins to see if anything is calling that hook.

 * yup I realized really quick what it took out… the ability to edit posts. I will
   be looking into the last few plugins I have installed though, and contiue trouble
   shooting now that I know where and what to work with.
