Updated to WP 4.0 and site disappeared

Check if you have and index.html file in your document root. If so rename or remove.

Also try commenting out your htaccess file.. or rename to .htaccess.tmp to see if this will fix your issue.

If you would like to roll back your wordpress version, you can do this by downloading an older version of wordpress, FTP into your host and copy replace the main files. Be careful not to lose the wp-content files. this is where all you theme, plugins, uploads are being held.

Do you have a dumbed-down version of your solution because I have no clue what you just said.

(I’ve ignored my site for over a year and just now want to restart it, for lack of a better term).

FTP into your web hosting account. Check if you have a file with the name “index.html” in the same folder you have “wp-config.php” if so, rename or remove the file “index.html”

If above is not the case, look for a file in the same folder as “wp-config.php” that has the name “.htaccess” rename “.htaccess” to “.htaccess.tmp” This will stop apache from running the directives within this file.

If above is not the case, download WordPress 3.9.1 and upload all files into the same folder as “wp-config.php” except “wp-content” into your web hosting account. Overwrite all files.

Thank you. I think even I can follow this, although I will wait until the morning…after my 1st cuppa.

looks like your site is up
