Hi,

It appears it was a database problem.
I exported all
I created a new database
uploaded and installed a completely fresh wp installation
Imported all

This put my site more or less as it was… (just needed widgets)
Now everything works well.

Problem not really solved
but the work around was good.

Thanks Michael… I didn’t know about the export/import feature… made things a lot easier for me.

Michael,

Thanks… I have already tried this step but once more I followed your instructions, renamed the 2016 theme folder and activated the 2015 theme.
The problem remains.

I have as you suggested updated my core files, several times now.

With the 2016 theme being the default theme I imagine that it is compatible.

I have an earlier backup which I can upload… when I do so the problem is solved momentarily…. until I update any of the themes or
update to the latest version of wp.

I believe it is a problem with the database as I can use the actual installation I have and point it to another database… this does not give me problems.

Thanks but this did not help…
Nothing was changed in this file, I even removed it and created a new one which now just has the auto generated permalink structure in it.

Also checked with an old backup version… nothing has been changed there.
Problem still exists.
