    Hi,
    I just tried to perform the automatic update on https://www.nicolasmanio.com/wordpress
    After the page not responding for half an hour, I tried to refresh and all I get now is a 500 error… (on the wp-admin as well)
    Stupidly enough i hadn’t even backed up anything… I presume the database should be intact though and so the uploaded files…
    If I back up themes, content and database, wipe everything down, reinstall and upload the old content and database is there a chance it will work?

    update:
    I had a 2.7 installation locally on my computer running on xampp.
    so I replaced the themes, plug-in and uploads folder and the database with the ones that are online… and the page loaded (even though if i try to navigate inside the site, it tries to go to the one online).
    the pw-admin page, though, gives me this error:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\themes\nic-pixel1\functions.php:83) in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\pluggable.php on line 850

    any clue?

    not getting any answers, I actually figured it out myself.
    Hopefully I am the only unlucky one out there who had this problem, but i thought I’d share how i fixed it with the next unlucky ones to come…

    It’s actually pretty simple:
    -If you didn’t back up (like myself) just do it now: both the database and all your files.
    -Clear the database and all the files.
    -Install 2.7.1
    -Check that it works (even though I don’t see why it shouldn’t)
    -Upload your themes, plug-ins, and the uploads folder.
    -Load the database you backed up previously.
    -Done!

    I actually found a quicker, less orthodox way as well (i suggest using it only as a last resort):
    -backup the wp-content folder
    -delete all folders
    -upload 2.7.1
    -run the install script, it will tell you that you already have WordPress installed, because you didn’t clear the database. nevermind that.
    -Upload your backed-up wp-content.
    -Now log into the admin… it should work. i tested all functions and they seem to work just fine.
