• I screwed up my multi-site during the update to 3.6.1

    It has been working perfectly for over a year.

    Now I cannot get to the dashboard (or frontend) for the primary site (white screen, no debug info, view source just shows 5 blank lines).

    One of the weird things is that I can still get to both the admin screens and frontend of the subsites (but they don’t look quite right … like they missing plugin or child theme files.

    Since I can’t even get to the admin screen to do anything … where do I start to fix this?

    Here is my .htaccess file

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    # uploaded files
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
    # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule ^ - [L]
    RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
    RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
    RewriteRule . index.php [L]

    and my wp-config.php file (password and salt removed)

    <?php

  • My first step would be pulling plugins out of the plugins directory one at a time, especially ones activated on the main site and any mu-plugins. Then I’d ditch the active theme. This typically reveals to me what is causing the problem.

    I can’t imagine the WordPress update causing the actual problem (unless you have modified your installation), rather it is likely that your plugins or themes are incompatible somehow and THEY require some updates.

    If possible, you should be able to swap to the default theme by editing wp_options.

    Change stylesheet and template to ‘twentytweleve’

    That’s easier than messing with plugins, most of the time.
