A lifesafer. Had to recover several sites after a ransomware attack. Was able to get the photos and CSS, but not the database, from the old site. Thus was able to get all the old media and images into the WordPress Database for each newly constructed site.

Aha – I finally got it to work (none of the above suggestions solved my problem however). Here’s what I did:
1. got to the Site Admin (even though the normal blog-site was empty, the admin area worked fine
2. on the Left Toolbar, press “Tools”/”Upgrade”
3. There are two buttons:
i) “Reinstall Automatically” and
ii) “Download 2.7”
Pressing the first (“Reinstall”) made everything work

Hello, I also have this problem of a “blank” site, even though the admin site/dashboard works. It is also caused by the:
`Call to undefined function: wp_remote_request()
in my error_log. However, none of the suggestions works:
1. I copied everything native on the server from a tar.gz, so no FTP involved
2. I disabled all my plugins, and even switched back to the (new version of) default theme, but it still doesn’t work.
3. I don’t see any “Automatic Upgrade” plugin, so not sure what MONKMASTER is referring to.

So, sadly, downgrading to WP 2.6.5 from my backup until this issue has been further debugged.
