Site is not opening after updating to WP 4.0

  • I’ve just updated my site to WP 4.0, after updating process the site is not opening, I’ve tried several time but could not open the site and admin dashboard, I’ve tried to open it in other browsers but the browser say either the site is under maintenance or there is a programming error.

  • Looks like an issue with the update.

    1. Rename each folder in the folder /wp-content/themes/ to /wp-content/themes/old–folder_name. Then, upload a default unedited theme.
    2. Rename the folder /wp-content/wp-plugins/ to /wp-content/old–wp-plugins/.
    3. Download WordPress 4.0. Unpack. Delete these two folders from your site:
    /wp-admin/
    /wp-includes/
    4. Delete all files (not folders) in root (consult web host for any non-WordPress provided root files required by host or simply do one by one from the download, ie. compare), except wp-config.php and .htaccess. Note: At this point .htaccess should be at default per this:
    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/htaccess
    If not, then make it that.
    5. Upload the two folders from your download:
    /wp-admin/
    /wp-includes/
    6. Run site then login. You should then have a default WP site with a default theme and NO plugins running at WP 4.0.

    Once done, you can start troubleshooting the issue that caused the update failure.

    thanks How can I bring the old content in to site after doing all above stuff?

    What they suggested above will not touch your database thus your content will be fine.
