ThreadText: # I have installed and unzipped Civi in WordPress plugins directory, CiviCRM installer page is blank?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2015-06-26)
  
  I have installed and unzipped Civi in wordpress/wp-content/plugins directory via these directions:
  
  <http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/WordPress+Installation+Guide+for+CiviCRM+4.5>.
  
  When I get to step 5, however, and visit the Civi Install page on settings - CiviCRM installer, the page content is blank.
  
  Also, there is nothing in the error logs.
  
  Any thoughts on what could be going wrong?
  
  Thank you!
