I fixed the issue and I thought I’d let people know what I dealt with.

The original 500 error was due to a missing file in my wp-includes – class-wp-list-util.php

I don’t know if the server error wiped that file out or what. It is a new site, though, and it’s possible in the automatic install through my web host the file never made it over.

After that, WordPress did not play nice with my theme, Charity Review. Turns out that even Twenty Fifteen and below didn’t work for me, but Sixteen & Seventeen did work. I had to manually update WordPress to get the newer themes as well. My site is running Sixteen now. I’m a little hesitant to switch to a different theme with this update.

I appears I do not have an object-cache.php file

Sorry you said wp-content. I’ll look again.

I did a cursory look for that .php file that you mentioned earlier, but couldn’t find it. I assumed it would be the result of using a plugin that the former webmaster used that you indicated. What file would I find object-cache.php?

Hello – I am having same problem. Once I clicked on the Update to WordPress 4.7 link in my admin dashboard, I’ve had nothing but the white screen of death (500 error).

I am only running three plugins

– All in One SEO
– All in One WP Security & Firewall
– Easy Notify Lite

I have done the following:

– Deleted wp-admin & wp-includes files and replaced with fresh downloaded files via FTP
– Deleted Google Analytics plugin by Lara through file manager
– Renamed .htaccess
– Replaced code in .htaccess to clean code with no plugin instructions
– Disabled plugins by renaming the plugin folder in file manager
– Disabled theme by renaming
– Attempted to attach Twenty Fifteen theme by renaming all others but that one
