Website Not Working After Automatic Update

  • Hello,

    I received notice last night that my website, https://www.InityWeekly.com was automatically updated to WordPress 4.0.1.

    Since then, my website will not pull up, and if it does, the homepage first mentions a “500” error and then shows up after several minutes. Even when the homepage appears, I can click on any article or menu item, and there is a “404 (Page Not Found) error message.

    I cannot even login to my admin page because of this problem. I contacted GoDaddy, who hosts the account, and they said it is not an error on their end. How can I simply restore my website to how it was before this update? I have a big festival in Miami tomorrow, and not that there is a better time for this to happen, but of all times, this is ruining ticket sales. Please help.

    So it looks like your permalinks are not working correctly, if you login and go to settings -> permalinks

    Check the settings and then hit save, try and see if the issue persists, you might also be given some code into a .htaccess files, take that code and edit the file which will be in the root of your server.

    you hopefully will find simply saving the settings again will be enough.

    Hello, and thank you for your reply. However, are you speaking of the settings on the GoDaddy hosting account? If so, “permalinks” is not listed as an option under settings.

    If you are talking about the InityWeekly.com dashboard (www.inityweekly.com/wp-login.php), then I definitely can’t get into that because of this particular issue. Help?

    What steps are you taking to get into your WordPress account, if you visit
    https://inityweekly.com/wp-login.php
    and put your username and password in, are you redirected to the admin, white screen or something else?
