I am also having the same problem. I encountered it today when I changed a site I had been operating CMS-style, with a static page displayed on the front page …

https://fulwiderpartners.com

… to include blog posts on the front page.

Any help would be appreciated.

Joseph, changing the theme using your SQL query worked! I typed …

UPDATE wp_options SET option_value=’default’ WHERE option_name=’template’ OR option_name=’stylesheet’ LIMIT 2;

… as you instructed and now the site is back up (albeit with the default theme!):

This came after I had done a fresh install of 2.7.1. I am going to make some backups before I try updating to 2.8 again.

Thank you so much for your help.

samboll, thank you so much for your suggestion. Unfortunately, this solution also did not work. Here is the relevant portion of my wp.config file:

<?php
/**
 * The base configurations of the WordPress.
 *
 * This file has the following configurations: MySQL settings, Table Prefix,
 * Secret Keys, WordPress Language, and ABSPATH. You can find more information by
 * visiting {@link https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Editing_wp-config.php Editing
 * wp-config.php} Codex page. You can get the MySQL settings from your web host.
 *
 * This file is used by the wp-config.php creation script during the
 * installation. You don't have to use the web site, you can just copy this file
 * to "wp-config.php" and fill in the values.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */

Thanks, whooami, for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I did the same as TempestT-37 and had the same result.

There must be some flag set in the database that is causing this. I can point my browser directly to index.php, which I know from looking at it via FTP is present and contains code, and get nothing in my browser. View Source = Nothing. I know index.php points to another PHP file, which in turn points to another … somewhere in there there must be a database call, and something isn’t right.
