Hi there, could you let us know what the site you’re working on is, or if you’ve tried removing the plugin you updated via FTP to see if that fixes the problem? You don’t necessarily have to remove the plugin entirely, just rename its folder for troubleshooting purposes.

I can’t guarantee that this would work, but maybe try backing up your current theme (preferably via FTP so you have a hard copy of it), and then using this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rollback/ ? The theme your site is currently using (assuming it’s the one you’re having trouble with) is OceanWP, which is hosted in the WordPress theme repository. So, in theory, you could just roll the theme back to a previous version. If worse comes to worse, you could always just replace the theme with your backed up version and be back where you started.

Is this happening with all of your widgets, or is it in the About widget specifically? Are you running the latest WordPress version?

It looks like you just have a blank index page in your site setup somewhere, which has the following meta tag in it:
<META http-equiv=”refresh” content=”0;URL=http://rghoa.net/wordpress”>

Find where that tag is, remove it, set the proper home page in your WP theme, and see if that helps. My wild guess would be that you have a blank index.php file in your site’s root, that is meant to redirect the URL to where you were setting up WordPress originally and then after publishing, didn’t remove the file, so it’s still redirecting.
