Corrupted WordPress Installation

  • I had some problems with WordPress and I had my web hosting company restore all the files and folders in my WordPress site to an earlier date. From a user perspective everything works fine but I’m having problems with the WP-Admin interface. A number of things in the WP-Admin interface work fine but when I attempt to view plugins or attempt to go to the screen to update WordPress to 4.5.2, it crashes. By “crashes”, I mean I get a spinner for a long time and it eventually gives up and gives me an HTTP-500 error. I think I’m going to have to manually install WordPress 4.5.2 using the manual upgrad process identified here:

    Is there a better way to resolve this problem?

    Thanks,

    Chuck

    I did a manual update to WordPress 4.5.2 as specified in the document I referenced; and apparently the update was successful; however I still have a problem. When I open the WP-Admin panel and attempt to access “Plugins”, I get a spinner for quite a while and then it declares an HTTP-500 error.

    You can disregard this post. The HTTP-500 error went away after several attempts

    It might be that WordPress is having trouble loading a plugin? You could try to disable the plugins via FTP or through the database and then turn them on one by one. There are several references on the web that will show you haw to do both.

    Below is one resource:

    How to deactivate all plugins…

    Hope that helps. Good luck!
