  • I had a problem after this update. When I visited wp-admin I just got a white screen but my site was still working.
    If this is happening to you then here’s how I fixed it:

      Log in to your web hosts webFTP
      Find your plugins folder (it’s in wp-content)
      Change the name to pluginss – adding the extra ‘s’ automatically disables all plugins
      You should now be able to get back in to your site through wp-admin

    To find the problem

      In your web hostFTP create a new folder called plugins
      Move all your plugin files from ‘pluginss’ to ‘plugins’
      Go to the plugins section in your wp-admin back end
      Re activate your plugins one by one checking your backend and site is working each time by doing a hard refresh
      One of the plugins will cause your site to fall over again
      Go back to your webFTP and move the file for the plugin that breaks your site back to the ‘pluginss’ folder
      This will get your site back up again
      To get the plugin working again that broke your site just download it form the providers site and re-upload it by clicking Add New in your plugins section of wp-admin

    If it’s any help it was Yoast Google Analytics that broke my site – you might want to try activating this first if you have it, it might save you a bit of work.
    I’m sure there’s loads of ways to do this quicker but the steps above worked for me!
    Hope that helps

    Hi
    Ok, long story short. I had the above problem and had to do a manual upgrade which worked (eventually). However when I have logged back in to the admin I now no longer have the Visual editor or any copy in my pages or posts. The copy is definitely there as it is showing in Live and I have the text editor which also displays copy.

    Can anybody help on how to restore the Visual editor? It’s much easier to use.

    thanks
    David
