WordPress update to 5.8 failed, website down

  • Hello,
    Trying to recover from a WordPress upgrade that didn’t take and which is now giving the error: err_http_response_code_failure.
    Website is completely down, and can’t login to wp-admin.
    Not aware if any backup exists.
    Please share your suggestions, ideas.
    Many thanks

  • What version of PHP is your website running on? If you’re running on a low version of PHP, switching the PHP version might fix the issue.

    Otherwise:

    Fix 1: Turn on WP_DEBUG mode from your wp-config.php file, then visit your website to see which file/theme/plugin is causing the issue.

    Fix 2: Rename your plugins/themes folder name one after the other and refresh your site, if the error is coming from any.

    Fix 3: Manually downgrading to a lower version of WordPress – note that this is not the best approach but if you need to get your website back up and running ASAP!

    Hello bobody,
    Thank you so much for the suggestions and ideas.
    I am challenged to get a lot of details yet, the site is “managed” by another person. It hasn’t been updated since WordPress 4.7, about 5 years ago.
    You probably hit it right on that the PHP environment is not current either.
    I really appreciate your thoughts and hope to engage the website person soonest.
