What do you mean paring down wp-config to bare bones, i thought all you are supposed to do is change the database name, username and password, which is what i’ve done?
In phpmyadmin, in plugins it only shows a:0:{}, which was when i’d originally removed all the plugins. This is the only change i had made within phpmyadmin.

On the wordpress admin page, there are only 2 plugins which come with default wordpress site, akismet and hello dolly, both deactivated.

If i have backup copies of a working site, how do i upload it to wordpress?

This is such a pain, all i did was update a plugin! I’m desperate now.

I’ll try it, i’m just worried about losing all my data, though i get a daily backup from the wordpress backup plugin.

I’ve reinstalled wordpress, adding my old data and i can login to my site, all the posts and content are in place but each page is white, including the index page, whats happened?

Tried restoring by using phpmyadmin, importing a backup copy, and then removing the cache plugin code, same problem. I then removed all the plugins code, still the same problem. I don’t know what else to do.
