Upgrading Wordpress - Blank Page
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Just a hint for any fellow WordPress users around. I’ve just updated to the latest version (not through Cpanel - for some reason, Cpanel said I had to do a manual upgrade).
So, I FTPed all the files, logged into admin, and got the screen that tells me I need to upgrade. the next page presented the WP logo, but that was it. Nothing else.
To resolve this, I renamed my wp-content/plugins directory to wp-content/x-plugins , then created a new empty folder at wp-content/plugins
The upgrade worked then (although it generated several MySql errors basically saying it was trying to do some parts of the upgrade twice, but that’s not a real problem).
Now it’s just a case of re-instating the plugins one by one to see if any of them break either the visitor front end, or the admin screens….
