update-core.php is a blank page

  • I have several WordPress sites on the same hosting service and have been able to upgrade all of them to 3.2.1 except for one which gives me a blank page when I try to click on the upgrade link. I use Backup Buddy, so I tried deleting everything and restoring from 10 days ago but that did not help.

    I the problem and since I have seen several posts on this topic with no solution that worked, I thought I would point out what the problem is. On a hunch, I tried activating the Twenty Eleven theme instead of the Directory Press theme that I was using and I was then able to view the upgrade page. After upgrading, I reactivated the Directory Press theme and I was no longer able to view the upgrade page again.

    Apparently, the problem has something to do with the Directory Press theme and probably other themes for people who are experiencing this problem.

    I realized that I had not upgraded the Directory Press theme, so I upgraded the theme and the problem went away. Consequently, it pays to always upgrade everything and if that doesn’t work, contact the theme designer.
