Upgraded to WordPress 3.5.1, now have a blank homepage

    I upgraded to 3.5.1 as usual (using the upgrade function in the dashboard). I have used this function multiple times before. I am a serial WordPress user and have been using WordPress on this domain since WordPress 1.3 (circa 2005).

    I can now access the entire dashboard, but my homepage is not displaying.

    I deactivated all plugins. It doesn’t work.
    I deactivated the theme (Genesis–>Mocha) and activated 2012. It doesn’t work.
    I removed the .htaccess file. It doesn’t work.
    I only have an index.php file in the root.

    My index.php file says:

    <?php
/**
 * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wp-blog-header.php');

    Help? Anyone?

    Thanks,
    J

  • Try:
    – switching to the default theme 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.

    – re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

    – running the upgrade manually via wp-admin/upgrade.php

    Are you running wordpress from a directory if so the index.php file in root needs have folder name in line 17

    require('./wp-blog-header.php');

    Hi govepatel,

    My WordPress is in the root.

    I will try the solution from Theme Diva.

    Hi Theme Diva,

    It worked. Thank you.

    I am still using the default theme. My old theme still leaves a blank screen. It is ok though.

    My blog needs a refresh.

    Thank you so much.
