Wordpress dashboard blank screen

Question

I'm a newbie to Wordpress. I'm using Ubuntu. Just now I've installed Wordpress on my machine. When I click on the links in dashboard, it doesn't show any elements. I saw my database wordpress which contains some tables by default. My screen looks like below.

When I click on any of the links in the left sidebar, I can't see any content in the main page.

But I'm able to see my site in http://localhost/wordpress/ . I can't see contents in dashboard. Am I missing anything??? Someone help me please.

Answer 1

Hope this one helps:

1. Open file blog/wp-admin/includes/screen.php in your favorite text editor.

2. On line 706 find the following PHP statement: <?php echo self::$this->_help_sidebar; ?> <?php echo self::$this->_help_sidebar; ?>

3. Replace it with the statement: <?php echo $this->_help_sidebar; ?> <?php echo $this->_help_sidebar; ?>

4. Save your changes.

Your problem may be caused by a plugin. Try to rename the /plugins folder on your site; this will disable all of your plugins and you can find out if this is the problem.
