Site broken

Did you rename the current theme – which forces WP to use a default theme?

BTW, WP is on 4.2 – so not sure what 3.4.3 refers to.

Sorry I should correct myself there! I didn’t re-add wp-contents! it was wp-admin! pre-6am brain block there.

Yes I also tried the renaming themes trick, forgot to mention that. I deleted all themes besides twentyfifteen (which is not what was being used).

Try enabling debug –

BTW, what theme is/was the site running?

I also have no idea what the 3.4.3 refers to ?? I’ve just submitted a ticket to justhost for their support on this also. In terms of what theme was being used, I also have no idea because I set this blog up 3 – 4 years ago for my wife. I -think- it is twentytwelve that was being used.

Ah, I’m guessing that was for JetPack –

https://jetpack.me/news/

It was a security release – and actually that might well have crashed the site because it is a large plugins – and a number of people did have trouble with that update. But you said you’d removed all plugins?

I read in other threads something about jetpack, but when I looked in the plugins folder I never saw any folder for jetpack. However yes, I renamed the plugins folder (essentially ‘deleting it’) already AND disable plugins via myphpadmin in the DB.

I just tried to enable debugging like you advised and nothing happens, just a blank page. I enabled define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, true); but no error displayed inside the page.

Edit: OH MY GOD THANK YOU. I added another line from that debug page into my config and finally I got somewhere. In the admin URL it said the database needed to be updated ?? I did that and I finally was able to get in. Only thing is the blog looks like turd now cause I deleted the theme ;;

Same has happened to me, just white blank shows front end url’s and back end url’s

It’s BACK!!

@jomik12 – please start your own thread – jumping into someone else’s is not a good way to get help – start here:

Thanks again for the help. I guess this will be a good opportunity to glam the blog up ??

LOL – You can likely switch back to whichever theme you want. Do make a back up of the site and database ASAP!

Can you link me to any best practice for making backups? I would HATE to lose this blog and my partner would cry her eyes out.

Sure, looks like a huge investment in that site for sure –
