    Hi All,

    I upgraded to 2.8.2 & deleted wp-super cache. Since then the site loads all accept the admin side of the site.

    I can’t access anything in wp-admin.

    I have tried the following:

    – deleted plugins folder & tested access (no luck)
    – deleted wp-admin & reinstalled from latest version
    – deleted wp-includes & reinstalled from latest version
    – deleted .htaccess & reverted to default (no luck)

    None of these have helped resolve the problem.

    I have a sql back up should I need to reinstall everything, hoping thats not the case. Thank you in advance to everyone who tries to help.

    Maybe it’s your theme? Some incompatible themes can disable the admin (the theme’s functions.php loads even when in the admin).

    Thanks iridiax

    I also renamed my current theme hoping it would then go to the default. THis didn’t help either.

    Just in case you missed something in the wp-super-cache uninstall, see: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/other_notes/

    Otherwise, you could try a manual upgrade to 2.8.4:

    Could deleting the htaccess effect access to wp-admin?

    I have tried a couple of ways to access the back end using absolute urls but still no joy. I followed the steps in he wp-super cache uninstall but no luck there either.

    If I delete the old wp core files (except those stated) is there a chance my DB has some tables left over that are corrupt? I tried looking for wp-super cache in the DB but found nothing.

    Thanks

    I don’t think that deleting the .htaccess would keep you out of your site. Backup everything and try a manual upgrade.

    Thanks for all your help so far – I am working through the manual install right now.

    Ran through manual install & the /wp-admin/upgrade.php states my DB is up to date.

    I click continue which should take me to the home page but now all my content is gone and I have the same blank screen I had for /wp-admin.

    Url is http://www.mywestworld.com

    Could there be a problem with my DB?

    It seems your files are there. The default theme is there. Do you have an index.php file?

    BTW, nothing will produce a 404 error either.

    Yes, index.php is there.

    Can a corrupt DB cause these kinds of issues?

    I’ve been having the same issue for the past 2 hrs.

    Do you have an error_log file? (Note: Not everyone does.) If you do, what does it say?

    As for the database, maybe this below could help?

    do it again. it, (or hidden crap) is still there.

    that, or remake the file using a fresh wp-config-sample.php and this time use a plain text editor.

    used a fresh wp-config sample & plain text editor to add the info.

    At first I made an error with the DB name. Tried accessing the site and got the Error in establishing DB connection message.

    I updated the info & now everything is still blank (Main site & Admin).

    To add I have also tried connecting to the same DB via a new wordpress install in a fresh directory

    mywestworld.com/blog

    Again the site fails to load.
