I was patmobile

OK. Problem overcome. Service provider had upgraded my site to a new server and changed the path to the uploads directory. The directory they had put my images in was not on my domain, and therefore I could not change the permissions.

When I changed the upload path to the correct directory on my own domain I could upload, but all my earlier images disappeared from the site pages. I’ve asked the service provider to move the contents of the uploads directory to the correct address so that I have all my old images and can upload new stuff.

I have just discovered I have the same problem, so I’m piggybacking on this post and will try the solution suggested by Davood.

If it works for the OP but not for me I’ll start a new topic.

Many thanks to schulte and Rajesh. Problem solved. Renamed theme folder which resulted in the dashboard reappearing, and then reactivated the previous theme.

Thanks rajesh, but I’m a bit worried by the warning I read there, “It is not recommended to use WP_DEBUG or the other debug tools on live sites; they are meant for local testing and staging installs”, so I’ll try renaming the theme folder and see how that goes.

Appreciate your help,though. Thanks

Thank you schulte and Rajesh for the above replies.

I’m not yet very familiar with WordPress so I would appreciate any help you can give in directing me to some written directions on how to rename the theme folder or to get into debug mode.
