try:
– flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches.

– resetting the plugins folder by using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

– switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

– re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder from a fresh download of WordPress. by using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides. (manual upgrade)

– re-running the upgrade via wp-admin/upgrade.php

How do I flush the caching plugins if I don’t have access to the ocntrol panel? Thanks.

Then try the following steps from “resetting the plugins folder by using FTP ….”

What cache plugin are you using?

W3 total cache and cloudflare but cloudflare is deactivated. I did change the plugins folder but this didn’t help.

Trying to force the theme change crashed the public side of the site too.. total white screens everywhere.

Do you still have the theme twentyeleven in the themes folder?

Yes

try to manually uninstall (delete) W3 total cache plugin with the instructions here: https://www.shoutmeloud.com/how-to-delete-uninstall-w3-total-cache-wordpress-plugin.html
(maybe make backups off the files first)

and try:

– re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder from a fresh download of WordPress. by using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides. (manual upgrade)

No luck here either… more ideas?

1) Did you try the manual upgrade?
2) Is the public site still blank (or crashed)?
3) can you login when you put /wp-login.php after your domain name?

Try enabling debug mode by setting define('WP_DEBUG', false); to true in your wp-config.php and see if any errors are shown.

Ask your host what could be the problem. Do they meet the minimum requirements to run WordPress: https://www.ads-software.com/about/requirements/

Can we have a link to your site?

1.) Yes

2.) No

3.) That gives me the login prompt but after I submit user name and password it just becomes a blank page again.

The host does meet the requirements as far as I now… it’s bluehost.

I’m trying debug mode now.

Thanks.

Got an error:

“otice: wp_enqueue_script was called incorrectly. Scripts and styles should not be registered or enqueued until the wp_enqueue_scripts, admin_enqueue_scripts, or init hooks. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 3.3.) in /home7/singledu/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3578”

I’m also getting this on the wp-admin subdir.
