Unless you’ve made a full file and database backup and know how to restore it, then moving back could be difficult.
What’s the error message you are getting if any? And have you tried switching to the Twenty Eleven theme and deactivating all of your plugins?
Hi Jan
I am having this issue with two sites that i have upgraded to the latest version. They are still showing but the backend just disappears completely when I upgrade.
Is there a fix for this yet or will I have to copy a previous version of WordPress across to fix it?
I can’t access the dashboard so it is impossible to reset the template etc.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Hayley

i have not made a full backup and i dont know how to do it. so am i just stuck with this version? i cant even upload new post. and my widgets are not accessible to me.
Try:
– switching to the Twenty Eleven theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.
– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.
– re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress.
wow.. i will try that.. but im afraid to lose all of my content. will my content be safe if i switch from the theme i have to twenty eleven
Yes – perfectly safe in your database.
ok .. i will try it now… please b on stand by
i did it and got this…..
Warning: require_once(/home/rjjones/public_html/wp-admin//wp-includes/load.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: Not a directory in /home/rjjones/public_html/wp-admin/wp-load.php on line 46

Looks like you missed some files. Delete the wp-admin & wp-includes folders and then re-upload the fresh copies.
one by one? ok. im still trying…stay with me.. give me a sec
still the same message…. now i cant even log in my admin
I’m sorry but it sounds like you either didn’t use a fresh download of WP, you had the bad luck to download a corrupted version (in which case, try another download) or you’re not uploading all of the files & folders.
i left out the wp admin and the wp includes folders. but it still wont work.. im in my file manager and uploading them one by one
