Upgrading WordPress after stupidly upgrading plugins first (4 posts)

    Hi
    Yesterday I upgraded my WordPress plugins without upgrading WordPress. This was incredibly stupid. Now I can't access my Dashboard and I get an internal server error.
    My host provider told me to upgrade WordPress manually. Is this a good idea? Will that fix the problem?

    Obviously I can't disable my plugins now, but I'm backing everything up locally then will attempt a re-install.

    Thanks!
    Adele

    If you don't have access to your admin panel, try manually resetting your plugins, using ftp rename plugins folder to plugins_hold and create a blank plugins folder If that resolves the issue, delete blank plugins folder and rename original back to plugins reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    when logged in admin try upgrading wordpress if it works
