White screen of death after WP update

  • Hi,

    I updated the WP version of my site and got the white screen of death. After restoring back ups of wp-admin and wp-includes and disabling plugins, the dashboard is accessible, but the appearance is distorted (it doesn’t appear to be pulling CSS), and the front-end also is distorted.

    Please help! Any ideas?

    Hi Laliz,

    Thanks so much for your suggestion! I tried that and I could access CSS. I can access the main dashboard page but not other sections within the dashboard like themes.php

    I have disabled my custom theme, but this has not helped.

    Could it be an issue with the database?

    I’m open to any other suggestions.

    Thanks.

    Hi, doesnt seem like a issue with the database , can you share your website URL? fellow member might be able to assist better then.

    Thanks,Lalit

    Hi Laliz,

    Since sending my last message, I tried uploading wp-includes again and received a notice to update database and site is working as normal. I think I issues with my previous ftp programme may have resulted in the files not uploading correctly in my attempts to back-up, but it doesn’t explain the initial crash. Thanks so much for your assistance. I really appreciate that you took the time to reply.

    I still need to update WP again, and hope that it won’t crash.

    Thanks.
