WordPress 4.7 Killed My Site

    I have already gone through the forums and attempted all of the suggested fixes – spent about 10 hours on this. I still cannot get the following to work. Basically has our site shut dowm.

    Since 4.7 was installed, the following do not work:

    – Dashboard controls are hidden (have to type in the address directly) – have tried the methods on here to unhide it, none have worked
    – The site takes 4-24 hours to update (don’t use cache plugin, its not my browser and my hosting platform emptied the cache on their side)
    – Have already turned off all plugins, but because of the update problem, any changes I make take 4-24 hours to test

    Is there an update coming out to fix these things?

    Thanks

    Tony

    So far over sixty million downloads of WordPress 4.7!!!!!

    Your issue could be site-specific or server-specific.

    Next major release will be 4.8, planned for June

    attempted all of the suggested fixes

    Have you tried MANUALLY updating. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. You may need to delete the old wp-admin and wp-includes folders and files on your server before uploading the new ones. Please read the Manual Update directions first.

    The site takes 4-24 hours to update

    That sounds like cache issue.

    Try flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches. Not just your browser, but any op cache or content network cache as well such as Cloudflare. If your host provider has a “Purge Varnish” option or if you can ask your provider to flush memcache on your server. If you are using SiteLock, manage your caching there

    Great for WordPress – what does this have to do with my issues? There are a lot of people having these exact same issues. I know this well because I have been on support sites trying to figure out why my site went down.

    Your issue could be site-specific or server-specific.

    Everything worked before the update.

    Next major release will be 4.8, planned for June

    Thank you.

    Yes, I already did this, thanks.

    Thank you. I already did all of these things. Had absolutely no effect.

    Here’s my 2 cents:
    If you have tried all the suggestion, let someone else look into it
