WordPress not showing up/database error?

    We’ve recently gotten our wordpress working correctly. However, earlier I was uploading themes to the site in our themes folder. I have checked and nothing has been overwritten and our database information is still correct, but for some reason nothing comes up under my directory now: (see for yourself)

    We were in the process of updating the theme we selected, and everything seemed fine. The only possibility is that perhaps our database is simply down today.

    If by chance our database server is down (I will be checking with host), would this blank screen occur?

  • If database was down you’d be getting an error saying WordPress can’t connect to the database.

    You likely overwrote one of your WordPress files in the upload.

    You might consider deleting and reuploading the WordPress files as described in Steps 7 and 8 of Upgrading WordPress Extended.

    Not sure how that could have happened. The only folder we were uploading to was the themes folder. Everything seems correct. Even without the theme change it seems I should be able to login to wp-admin, but nothing happens. . One of those strange situations where everything was fine. I clicked on a link and then everything was blank. Earlier we had the common issue of not directing everytying to our blog directory, but that was fixed.

    Might try putting the script described in Finding_Server_Info and see if you get results.

    If no results, check with your host.

    hahah, found the problem. For some reason when we uploaded our themes each was set in another folder with the same name example: /themes/themedirectoryname/themdirectortyname/

    Bad winzip!

    If this happens to someone else we know the issue now (:
