WP gives nothing but blank pages after MySQL upgrade

Turn off all your plugins by renaming the plugin folder
if that works you can rename it back and they will be off
then turn them on one at a time
if it doesn’t
Rename your theme folder and the default theme 2010 11 12 whatever will turn on

If that works its probably a function call in your functions.php file

Better.

I tried renaming the plugin folder which is in the wp-content folder and now I get the basic page at the root. So https://colloqspeak.zapto.org works for me.

But I couldn’t log in to turn on the plugins. I’m still getting a blank page for all the links on the root page. I tried renaming the theme folder in the wp-content folder and that didn’t work.

Where would I rename the default theme to “2010 11 12”? Is that a file or a folder? I see a folder “default” in the themes folder. I tried changing that to “2010 11 12” and started getting blank pages again at root. I had to rename the plugins folder to get the root back.

What next?

I came back to the site today and found all the links work and I was able to log in. I’ve made the updates and everything appears to be in order.

Thanks to JumboClicks for putting me back on course.
