Ive done the 4.1.2 update and my site is blank

@caz1979 – did you get your site working? This is your thread – sorry other people hijacked it.

Mine died also with the update to 4.1.2, trying to fix now.

@jrlcopy – if you need help, start your own thread here:

@Ypyogi sorry, it seemed like we were possibly related in the issue. I fixed it, turns out jetpack plugin was the problem.

Hi WPyogi, thank you for asking. Yes my site is back up and running the only way my hoster could get up and running was to a re upload from back up, and now its asking me to do the up date again, which i am not going to at mo.

Will give all of this thread on to my hoster for him to look when he does the manual update.

I don’t mind people on my thread as their were so many of us in the same boat.

Thank you everyone

As far as I call the issues below were the main reason for the 4.1.2 upgrade – and main cause of all the problems:

Fixing add_query_arg() and remove_query_arg() usage

XSS Vulnerability Affecting Multiple WordPress Plugins

So if you have add_query_arg() or remove_query_arg() anywhere in old plugins or custom theme code, you have to escape them with esc_url() or somehow replace them.

You will have to do that manually and puzzle clues on how together from all over the WordPress world – note that ‘_smartik_’ in that first thread gets arg and var mixed up for example.

Replacing/cleaning up .htaccess also fixed issues in my sites, but I had just moved to VPS when the automatic updates happened, so I have no idea what is causing what.
