Hi,
That would be correct, however since you had problems with plugins also, I would do the following;
1.) Reinstall by downloading a fresh version of WordPress, extract and move the following directories and files from the downloaded + extracted folder (usually WordPress-version#) into your website directory, these would be; wp-admin, wp-includes, and everything else that’s a file, except wp-config.php … I also WOULD NOT delete or do anything with wp-content folder, nor wp-config.php. Leave those alone.
2.) After the #1, I would go into the wp-content folder and renamed my plugins folder into plugins-old or something like that.
Then try and access the site, if all goes well, go back and rename plugins-old back to plugins; if you start seeing errors, simply rename plugins folder back to plugins-old and log into your WordPress dashboard, then go to Plugins and activate one-by-one. Every plugin you activate, check your website for those errors; if you notice them back, remember which last plugin you activated, that’s the plugin that was causing you the issue.
Hope that helps!
Thank you!
Hi trainmaster did u ty the process as CureWP suggested ? how did it go ? did u get any probs ?
It ended up being a server problem. This is the response I received from my host, Lunarpages.
The issue is due to the recent WordPress Update that requires connection to ww.wp.xz.cn to only use the latest version of OpenSSL. Unfortunately, you are on CentOS 4 server and we cannot upgrade OpenSSL on CentOS 4 machine as the latest OpenSSL only support CentOS 6.
Lunarpages offered to move my site to one of their CentOS 6 machines.
After they did that, I was still having issues, so I had to contact them again because of fatal error messages when trying to update plug-ins.
Messages like
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /home/---------/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/Tribe/Main.php on line 3515
so Lunarpages increased the php memory allocation for my account.
This, and switching to a newer theme resolved all the issues I was having.
I will say that the response time and communication from Lunarpages was excellent once I contacted them.
