    I’m running WP 3.1 with the Gensesis Framework and a child theme too with very few plugins (Google Analytics, Scribe, VaultPress and NextGEN). I was developing a site on a live server in a directory and when I went to go live, move index.php and my .htaccess to the root and made the appropriate tweeks in each to reference the directory with the rest of the files. Finally, I was attempting to get rid of the WP directory appearing in the permalink structure and modified site_url and home under the main settings…

    WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH!

    Since I could not access wp-admin and I have VaultPress I thought it would be simple to wind back to the last stable backup of the DB. Problem is after I re-install WP and point it to the last good version of the DB I still have the whitescreen which generates no source code at all. On the VaultPress website they give you the way to resore plugins, themes, uploads and the database (https://dashboard.vaultpress.com/1228/support/) although it does not give a particular order in which to do this. Is this why my full-reinstall is not working?

    Should I create a new empty DB for my new WP install, reinstall themes, then plugins and then uploads – lastly updating my DB with the old MySQL tables?

    My question is, do

    My question is, should I do this re-instal in a certain order? Like create a new empty DB for my new WP install, reinstall themes, then plugins and then uploads – lastly updating my DB with the old MySQL tables?

    I have a feeling that because I am connecting a new install of WP to a themed and modified version of a database, it’s referencing some things that are in the themes that breaks WP and gets the whitescreen.

    Just got the site back up and copied CSS, Uploads etc. So it’s working in the eoyummywp directory as before. The issue, as I thought, was the ORDER in which I attempted to restore. I resolved by:

    wiping the DB but maintaining same access and settings.
    Clean WP install
    Theme reinstall / activation
    Plugin reinstall / activation
    Copy of Uploads directory
    Removing all the MySQL tables created through PHPmyAdmin
    Adding last working DB backup of tables
    Viola!
