  • Hard to say. Anyway you can see the web server error logs? (if you have a cPanel or something similar) The cause of the problem should be logged there.

    I checked the error log in cPanel, and it’s not showing any errors at all.

    Looks like you are using WP3.0?? Yikes – that’s a MAJOR security risk.

    Have you tried deactivating all plugins by changing the name on the plugins folder to plugins.HOLD?

    If that does not work, change the name on your theme’s folder so WP will use the default theme – make sure that there is a default theme in the themes folder first.

    wp-content
       themes
           sunset.HOLD

    I’ve tried updating the WP version a couple of times, and it always says it’s not successful. Will try again as soon as possible.

    In the meantime, just got my first error message:
    [Mon Oct 07 14:43:03 2013] [error] [client 174.62.110.186] File does not exist: /home/ethic/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/sunset/style.css/images/favicon.ico

    Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll let you know what happens.

    Now you’re going to see how un-techy I really am.
    I’m looking at all of the folders in my cPanel and can’t find anything labeled plugins. Searching did not turn anything up. Either I don’t have any or I don’t know where to look.
    * * *
    Reinforcing my previous point: Just found the plugins folder. Need to figure out how to apply a command across the board.

    I renamed both the plugins folders to plugins.HOLD, but it didn’t help.
    I’m nervous about disabling the theme – won’t that mess up how the website appears?
    I don’t know if this has anything to do with the problem, but is it normal to have a whole lot of repetition in your file path? I found 3 different plugins folders under WP:
    1) under blog/wp-content
    2) under blog/upgrade/wp-content
    3) under blog/wordpress3.tmp/wp-content
    4) under blog/wordpress31.tmp/wp-content
    Changed all of them to plugins.HOLD.

    Can anybody help me with this? I’m complete unable to edit the site or upload new content.
