    Hello
    I have a blog I use as a private daily diary, running WP 2.7.1, hosted on GoDadddy. This AM, changed themes a couple times, and poof! All I get now are blank pages. When I ftp in, it looks like everything is there, but I cannot load any pages, posts or even admin pages. All that loads is blank pages - no errors, just blank.

    No, I haven't backed up for a while :( - Lesson learned?

    Any ideas? Is my only hope to restore my old backup and get serious about backing up more frequently? Any and all help, greatly appreciated.

    Had to reinstall WordPress, reattach it to the existing database.
    Don't forget to tweak wp_options:

    • Change the template and stylesheet to "default"
    • Change current_theme to "default"
    • Disable any plugins just in case (active_plugins)
    • Possibly remove plugin-related records/parameters from the database - near the end of the table

    The theme I had switched to when the blank pages appeared - which included all admin pages and everything else - is still in use. I don't think it was the theme itself - it was the switching.
