One thing to try is to re-install WP.
First, you should create a backup of your site. Always do this before any changes to WP, themes, or plugins.
Then, go to Admin->Updates and click ‘Re-install Now’.
Well I tried to reinstall WP through admin and it didn’t do anything. I am afraid to install it through PHP admin as I don’t want to lose any changes I have made.
I tried to just upload admin folder via ftp but that didn’t make any difference.
Is there just a way to “repair” the WP installation? What are the possible files that got corrupted that I could just replace
I don’t know what individual files may be involved.
When you say that the reinstall did not do anything, do you mean that it did not solve the problem, or that it did not reinstall?
It did not reinstall. It went to the same screen as in the screenshot and just sat there with nothing happening the same as what happens when I install a plugin. At least with the plugin although it seems that nothing is happening and it doesn’t give the “activate” option the plugin still gets installed whereas it didn’t seem to install WP (or if it did it still doesn’t work)
OK I found the problem.
I tried twentyfourteen and Greeny parent theme and it all works fine. So it appears the problem has to do with something on the Greeny child theme.
I have pinpointed it to the functions.php that is causing the problem It has something to do with this code
<?php
/* DVS Compression Start*/
function wp_http_compression() {
// Dont use on Admin HTML editor
if (stripos($uri, ‘/js/tinymce’) !== false)
return false;
// Check if ob_gzhandler already loaded
if (ini_get(‘output_handler’) == ‘ob_gzhandler’)
return false;
// Load HTTP Compression if correct extension is loaded
if (extension_loaded(‘zlib’))
if(!ob_start(“ob_gzhandler”)) ob_start();
}
add_action(‘init’, ‘wp_http_compression’);
?>
<?php
I have removed that code and all is working well again. Also I ran the WP_Debug and got the following:

Have tried looking at those files to try and fix but I have no idea what the problem is as I cannot find the particular lines it refers to
Do you still get all these messages with the parent theme? If so, try to contact the theme designer.
Yes I do and I have contacted the theme developer. Thanks for all the help.
