Hi,

Here is the fix:

1) Access your WordPress folder (through cPanel or FTP)

2) Download fresh WordPress zip from here:

https://wordpress.org/download/

When you download the new version, unzip it on your computer and navigate to wp-includes directory. You will find update.php file there.

Upload it to wp-includes directory on your server. It will replace the existing update.php on the server.

That should fix it.If it does not work please post back.

Thanks,

Hi,

If you have still former web hosting running, you can try to take backup again through another plugin or filezilla FTP program. Following is a excellent guide you can follow to move your WordPress website from one host to another host:

I still have my former hosting going and am trying to reinstall the zip file to another domain (my spare one) by using WPClone and uploading the .zip but it comes back with an error reading the zip.

You can contact your Web Hosting provider for this issue, or you can take new backup and then try to restore.

Thanks,

Hi,

I believe JetPack by WordPress is the culprit here. Try to deactivate JetPack then have a check.

If this does not resolve your issue,try manually resetting all your plugins. Please refer following guide to deactivate all plugins:

https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F

If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

Hi,

To have your website back, switch to the Twenty Fourteen theme. If you don’t have access to your admin panel, access your server via FTP or SFTP, navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the default theme to activate.

Hi,

It is always recommended the to create child theme whenever you want customizations. If you modify a theme directly and it is updated, then your modifications may be lost. By using a child theme you will ensure that your modifications are preserved.

Here are the excellent and easy guides on how you can make child themes:

Hi,

Using the Elegance theme but seemed to have made changes i can’t fix.

It is always recommended the to create child theme rather perfroming direct modificaitons in theme. If you modify a theme directly and it is updated, then your modifications may be lost. By using a child theme you will ensure that your modifications are preserved.

1. Have a graphic missing on the home page. Tells me invalid image, and I don’t remember doing anything to it. 2. Lost the items under the services banner. Need to re-connect them

It would be a great help if you share your website name.

3. If changing themes, can we download a new one and work on it until its ready to launch, but still keep the old one running until then ?

You can download new copy of theme and make its child theme to perform modifications. Until you are done with the modifications, you can keep old running.

Hi,

Please try following suggestions.

1) Try manually resetting your plugins (no Dashboard access required) using following URL;

https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F

If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

2) If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via FTP navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the directory of your currently active theme.

This will force the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

3) Re-upload all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of your current version of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.
