  • Thanks Pothi
    I’ve just created a new post, actually, after having seen other people being equested to do the same.
    If it is the hosting environment, and if what people say on this forum about Yahoo support is true, then it could be a very bad year for my website…
    Thanks for replying!

    This must be the worst New Year ever! In a fit of optimism and resolutions to stay up-to-date, I tried to update all my plugins and the version of WordPress I am using.
    Rather stupidly, I also tried to update WordPress without first disabling plugins.
    The net result is that the website (www.phillipdonnelly.net/blog) is dead. I can’t even access the WordPress Dashboard (www.phillipdonnelly.net/blog/wp-admin). Chrome tells me there is a “HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error)”.
    I’ve spend the last day crawling over this and other forums and I’ve tried the following without any success:
    1. Plugins–Disabling plugins by renaming them. Yahoo host the site and in their directory I changed ‘plugins’ to ‘plugins.hold’ but this had no effect. Creating an empty ‘plugins’ folder similarly achieved nothing.
    2. Wp-config issue–I’ve checked the last part of my wp-config file and there is no extra space after the closing “?>”?tag
    3. Themes–I changed the name of the theme (Suffusion) in an attempt to force WordPress to return to the default theme but this had no effect. I mean, the page is still dead. Changing the folder name to ‘themes.hold’ also had no effect.
    4. Yahoo has a snapshots facility and I’ve changed hundreds of files back to what they were a couple of months ago but the site and the WordPress admin page is still dead.
    After 8 hours of this, I’m about to throw in the towel. Is there anything else I can do?
