 * Hi all!
 * So I have recently started using WordPress in order to begin a new website, however
   i have run into many difficulties. The first problem I have encountered, is not
   being able to update my WordPress to a newer version. When i try, it bring me
   to a blank screen and seems to just quit. Also when trying to add a plugin, or
   install a theme, it does the same thing. I’m not sure if I am supposed to have
   something installed in order to continue these updates/installations but I would
   appreciate any information.

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * Then carrying out an upgrade (after a database backup, of course).
