  • Try:
    – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in 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 – from a fresh download of WordPress.

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

    Thanks for the quick response. First I followed your link about resetting the plugins folder by FTP and tried to reset the plugins but cannot logout or login to wp-admin from the control panel.
    Re your first suggestion, I have not yet downloaded Twenty Eleven yet. Are you suggesting I need to or am I able to switch to any themes that I have previously downloaded- for example – Twenty ten.
    Thanks

    None of the suggestions I posted above require you to login to your site. Does the wp-content/themes folder have a twentyten folder?

    You sent this below via a link and I could not do point 3 -:
    Or reset your plugins folder via FTP or the file manager provided in your host’s control panel.
    1. Via FTP or your host’s file manager, navigate to the wp-contents folder (directory)
    2. Via FTP or your host’s file manager, rename the folder “plugins” to “plugins.hold”
    3. Login to your WordPress administration menus (/wp-admin)
    4. Via FTP or your host’s file manager, rename “plugins.hold” back to “plugins”

    I do have a twentyten folder. Shall I attempt with that? Sorry am not tech savvy at all
    Thanks

    Shall I attempt with that?

    Yes

    Please walk me through this. I don’t understand what you want me to do and I am scared to do the wrong thing.
    1. My current theme is Cloudy Night. Do I add old to it and then what do I do?
    Please Help
    Thanks

    Please help

    My current theme is Cloudy Night. Do I add old to it

    Add “-old” to the end of its folder name in wp-content/themes, yes.

    then what do I do?

    Since your site is still not being displayed, upload fresh copies of the Twenty Eleven and Twenty Ten theme using FTP.

    Check your server’s error logs.
