Blank admin screen after upgrading wordpress, site is fine though.

    I recently updated to wordpress 3.9 via the dashboard. Since then, my site continues to work, however, when I log in to the admin site, i see all of the left navigation, but default wordpress options like dashboard, posts, pages, plugins etc, don’t load up their respective pages. I tried renaming the plugins directory to see if there was a conflict, but nothing changed. Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Andy

    Theme conflict most likely. Try switching themes.

    I can’t even access the appearance menu in order to switch themes.

    Try:
    – switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder inside 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 and the wp-config.php & root .htaccess files – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

    – running the upgrade manually via wp-admin/upgrade.php

    You need to connect via FTP and change you plugin folder name and theme name.

    I turned on the debug in config and the following showed on the screen:

    That definitely looks like a bad theme. Try renaming:

    wp-content/themes/thesis_182

    to:

    wp-content/themes/thesis_182-old

    Problem is my site actually works. mattcraine.com I changed the directory and still nothing on the admin site changed.

    If you changed the directory as esmi has instructed, you should no longer be seeing those errors on the admin side as it would have switched your theme to twenty fourteen.

    After changing your directory name, did you still see those errors?

    The only thing that happens when I change the theme is my site disappears. Still in the admin side, default wordpress options are not showing.

    Re-upload a fresh, unpacked, copy of the theme’s folder to wp-content/themes using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    Would it be the thesis theme instead?
