Hello everyone, I followed all of the instructions to manually update to the latest WordPress but ive found more problems. I used FileZilla to delete and add and overwrite all of the different stage in below instructions. I kept wp-content, wp-config, and deleted wp-admin and includes etc. Now if I try to login at https://dipeshparmar.com/wp-admin or login I get nothing apart from a 404 error. Im just not very experienced in WP to know what to do next, currently I can’t get into the WP dashboard to do anything. Can anyone help?

I also created a full WordPress backup before I did everything

Hello Steven, seems complicated but I will give it a try, thanks

Aha, this was it! It wasn’t public like all the other pages, i changed to public and changed theme back and it works! Thanks James!!!

I’ve noticed on the list of pages, all pages have nothing against them but the homepage has ‘private’ next to it, its been privately published. Is there a difference between privately published and just published? Is this whats causing the issue?

Hello James, its a static site so no posts, all pages published. The site was fine for a number of weeks, just the frontage is the issue. On Settings/reading its set to static page, though underneath where it says front page and below it posts page i have nothing selected for either.

I get a ‘Oops! That page can’t be found.’ error on the page on 2015 theme

Hello Wpyogi, i’ve deactivated all plugins and its on default theme.

Still no answer from anyone in WordPress, very frustrating.

I finally figured it out, i tried changing the site url and home through wp-config.php and this time it worked, don’t know why but it did!

Hello, i’d been in touch with the theme developers and they said there was no issue, they tried wordpress default themes and found the same problem with the homepage. I’d deactivated all the plugins, set permalink to default, same problem.It must be a wordpress problem.

But i still have this problem, its still unresolved. I don’t know what to do.

slowly getting there, i managed to disable plugins, reverted to twenty fourteen theme, managed to login, changed to my preferred theme, back to same problem where layout is a mess, CSS settings all over the place. Cant log back in, same can’t find server error!

I can’t believe how much of a headache this has become from a stupid mistake!

I disabled the plugins by removing the code within ‘active plugins’ in phpmyadmin, removed the extra https:// from siteurl and home, same problem persists.

how do i disable plugins when i can’t log in? should i just remove them using FTP?
