Cannot access site after theme update

  • Testing out here – running the latest version of WP on IIS. Have updated the theme (Stargazer), and now I cannot even land on the wp-admin page.

    Receiving HTTP Error 500.52. “Cannot add duplicate collection entry of type ‘rule’ with unique key attribute ‘name’ set to ‘wordpress’..”

    Config File: \\?\C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wordpress\web.config

    Any ideas?

  • Try:
    – switching to the default theme automatically by renaming your current theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

    Ok Esmi, thank you. I’m in, and have switched to a WP theme as the rename didn’t cause it to be done automatically. Switching back to my chosen theme, results in a white page when viewing the site.

    Sounds like your theme is either damaged or is no longer compatible with the your current version of WordPress.

    I guess I could always remove the theme and reinstall to check again.

    It might be worth a try now that you know how to get back in if it does create a fatal error. Do you still have a copy of the default theme in wp-content/themes? What version of WordPress are you running?

    you need to buy theme license to access it.
