# Backend broken after update.

 * I went to post a blog from my cell and saw the update button so I clicked it.
   
   After it was done updating, I made a new post and started a blog entry but then
   realized it was not showing properly on my cell so I decided to move to my computer.
   I was able to go to my website, jynuine.com, and log in from the login page however
   it loaded a white page for the backend. I restarted Safari and same issue.
 * So I downloaded Firefox (this was a new mac install) and I tried from there. 
   Same thing.
    If I go back to my home page it shows I’m logged in with the admin
   bar above, however the links either load a blank page or this: [http://imgur.com/3YuVpmi](http://imgur.com/3YuVpmi)
 * Why is my website broken?

   I access your site from Paris FR and it’s quite fast – no big issue).

    Thank you, 
   sometimes I cross my fingers and squeeze my eyes shut before clicking that ‘update’
   button…

 * That’s a bit sad, though with WP 4.4 you might cross fingers again. Personally
   I put WP “core updates” on, so no more cross fingers.

 * Yeah I’m struggling because nothing seems to be working backend.
    – I renamed
   the plugins folder to ‘plugins_old’: not fixed – I renamed the current theme 
   to add ‘old’ at the end: not fixed – I replaced the database with a backup from
   pre-update: not fixed
 * Im frusterated.
 * I don’t seem to have an .htaccess file. I seem to remember my host and I did 
   something with it a year or two ago because it was hacked with things added to
   it. Their fix actually broke the site more and I forgot how we fixed that. I 
   don’t seem to have one at all, now.

   help.

 * I just tried slack.com, but issues.
 * For your problem, it would be better to chat, because some stuff must be called
   in private,
 * Regards,
