Hi Tiff. I didn’t create a new site, I just manually upgraded mine to 4.1. Here’s a rundown of how to do it: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Updating_WordPress

Hope that helps. ??

Manually updating to 4.1 fixed everything! Thanks for your suggestions, everyone.

Thanks for the advice, Clayton! I replaced the admin directory, but no dice. However, I was under the assumption that I had version 4.1, not 4.0.1…it sounds like I’ll have to do a manual upgrade. Maybe that’ll resolve the issue?

Hm…when I rename the active theme, the default theme does not kick in. The site displays a blank page, just like the dashboard.

Angus – I came across the same info, and have ruled out extra spaces in functions.php.

Thanks for the insight, everyone.

Clayton, thank you for letting me know about the index files! I’ll look into that after this issue is (hopefully) resolved.

Angus – I don’t have Yoast, and I’ve already set debug to true to see what errors are cropping up, but it doesn’t seem like the error has to do with this issue. Could be wrong, though! Here’s what I’m getting:

Notice: Undefined variable: args in /home/micyak/webcomicunderdogs.com/wp-content/themes/yamidoo/functions/theme/functions.php on line 65

This is what’s on line 65:
add_theme_support( ‘custom-background’, $args );

Does this sound like it might be a culprit?

Sorry – should have provided my site in the first place! Thanks for trying that out. And I also should have clarified – I am able to log in, it’s just that when I do I’m taken to a blank dashboard. I tried your suggestions, but the blank page is persisting, unfortunately.
