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.

Blank Wordpress Admin Dashboard

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.

Could this be caused by the .htaccess rewrite rules not working because WordPress is in a sub directory? - Malachi
@Malachi yes, in sub directory called wordpress - Linga
@Malachi folder structure is /var/www/wordpress where /var/www is my root - Linga
Please check the page source and see if there's any Fatal error message - Dan
@DanielPatilea No errors. - Linga

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; ?>

  3. Replace it with the statement: <?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.
