Title: Everything gone after update Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Everything gone after update * Resolved [kayrea3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kayrea3/) * (@kayrea3) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/everything-gone-after-update/) * I am using politician theme by themeforest and I updated the events plug-in and now I cannot sign in to the backend of my website. Also, my website has disappeared. There is no way I can log-in to deactivate the plug-in. * Help please!

To disable a plugin you’ll need FTP/SFTP access to the site. From there you would rename the offending plugin folder. WP should automatically deactivate it. * Thread Starter [kayrea3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kayrea3/) * (@kayrea3) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/everything-gone-after-update/#post-4304187) * It is up because I reinstalled wordpress, them activated the theme again and activated all of the plug-ins except for the events calendar. * It sounds like it may just be easier if I use a different plug-in for the events section. I am not 100% sure how to access it with FTP/SFTP and rename the folder– I don’t know the name of the folder I will be looking for to rename. * Thank you. * [Andy Fragen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/afragen/) * (@afragen) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/everything-gone-after-update/#post-4304188) * kayrea3 – since you’ve already reinstalled WP, etc. can I ask if you switch to a default theme like TwentyTwelve and only using The Events Calendar plugin does it work? * If it does, try switching to your theme first. If the problem occurs it’s likely an incompatibility with your theme. * The folder to look for is in `./wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/` to deactivate just rename to something like `./wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar-broken/` * If it works with your theme then start adding back plugins, there’s an error to be found somewhere. With over 500K downloads I can assure you this plugin is quite stable. * [nycncatalumni](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nycncatalumni/) * (@nycncatalumni) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/everything-gone-after-update/#post-4304189) * We also use the same theme as Kayrea3 and have had the same issue. I tried using it with some of the basic themes and it was hit-and-miss for us. I would really love to keep this plug-in, is there a way you can paste the code for the older version until the issue is sorted out? It’s so useful, I’d hate to have to switch to a different service. * Thanks! * Thread Starter [kayrea3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kayrea3/) * (@kayrea3) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/everything-gone-after-update/#post-4304191) * I think it has to be the theme … very frustrating – just tried downloading a different event calendar plug-in and again my webpage is blank. argh. debating if I should reinstall wordpress again or try and figure out the FTP config and fix it that way. * [nycncatalumni](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nycncatalumni/) * (@nycncatalumni) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/everything-gone-after-update/#post-4304193) * Shoot. Is there no way to just go back to version 3.1? It was actually really nice and I would like to keep the calendar. Other plugins don’t display as nicely. * [Andy Fragen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/afragen/) * (@afragen) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/everything-gone-after-update/#post-4304195) * What theme are we talking about and is is commercial? * If it’s a commercial theme you should file a support ticket with them? * [nycncatalumni](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nycncatalumni/) * (@nycncatalumni) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/everything-gone-after-update/#post-4304196) * The theme is the same, Politician from theme forest. I found the code for the 3.1 version and am going to re-install that in the meantime. * Thread Starter [kayrea3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kayrea3/) * (@kayrea3) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/everything-gone-after-update/#post-4304197) * where did you find the code for the 3.1 version?? I would love to re-install that one as well! * Thread Starter [kayrea3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kayrea3/) * (@kayrea3) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/everything-gone-after-update/#post-4304198) * I did file a support ticket with them, but I have been trying to figure it out on my own in the mean time. I wasn’t sure if it was the theme itself or if it was the plug-in, so I wanted to see if anyone else encountered the same issue. * Thread Starter [kayrea3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kayrea3/) * (@kayrea3) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/everything-gone-after-update/#post-4304199) * By the way – thank you Andy for your help … I deleted the folder by using FTP like you mentioned before so I didn’t have to redo the website for the 6th time( WOOHOO!!) * [Andy Fragen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/afragen/) * (@afragen) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/everything-gone-after-update/#post-4304218) * You’re quite welcome. If you want to do some more troubleshooting you can put ` define( WP_DEBUG, true )` in your `wp-config.php` file. You should then at least see the error. You’ll still have to delete the plugin after. * [nycncatalumni](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nycncatalumni/) * (@nycncatalumni) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/everything-gone-after-update/#post-4304219) * I found it here: * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/developers/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/developers/) * [Joe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joeeible/) * (@joeeible) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/everything-gone-after-update/#post-4304222) * Yes, same issue here… version 3.2 doesn’t seem to work with the Politician Theme, reverted to 3.1. * [rockintehweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/a9cd78/) * (@a9cd78) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/everything-gone-after-update/#post-4304238) * I subscribe the same issue on that theme [politician] too. * I’ve back to 3.1 version.
