OK. The hosting folks haven’t got back yet, but I read some of the threads in this forum dealing with “blank page”…there was a suggestion in one thread to try renaming the desired theme “default”. I did this and the site is back up. No other blog of mine on that server has disappeared (yet) like this one; it’ll be interesting to hear what the host has to say.

Thanks again.

I’ll try them; will report back. Thanks.

I visited my site by going to it’s URL. I got a blank page. That’s all. I don’t log into admin first; I kinda like to look at sites before going to the admin area to see how they may appear to a visitor. I hadn’t been to the site in about 3-4 days, and hadn’t worked/posted on it since 2/8. It had been up and running.

FWIW, the blog is at https://www.totallyswimmingpools.com . I’ve noticed that blank home pages happen on occasion with some of my blog sites. Normally I’d then log in (all the backend admin stuff is there, posts, plugins), head to the presentation tab, and click the theme icon/theme preview/whatever-you-call-the-graphic to reactivate the theme, and all would be restored.

Not this time. No theme appears to be installed in the Dashboard. But I see the theme folder, with all the files, on the server when I FTP in. I’ve never experienced this weirdness before, and I’m stumped for what to do. I had a backup of the theme file, and I tried uploading that to replace the folder online. No joy; still a blank page and no theme icon in the Presentation area.

Moshu, thank you for responding. I posted in the only post I found that appears to describe the problem I’m facing. I’m sorry if I’m not being as precise in my description as you seem to require. As the thread doesn’t appear to be resolved/closed, I thought it was active.

I don’t know what to call the button that represents the theme under the Presentation tab in 2.0.11 other than theme icon; but whatever it is that I click on to bring my theme back, it’s not there anymore and my site does not appear online.

If you want me to start a new thread for the 2.0.11 version I will. I’d appreciate any help to get this resolved.

Have had same problem with several sites but now have a new twist – on one blog the theme icon has completely disappeared. All the databases/content is there, I can log into the dashboard, but there’s no theme icon at all under presentation. The theme folder appears and seems to be intact when I FTP into the server. I tried re/installing the theme via FTP; still no joy. I use 2.0.11. I wish some one would address this issue as this seems to be a bug somewhere in the base WP code that needs to be fixed ASAP.
