 * I updated to WP 4.5 without deactivating my plugins and now they are not working(
   ACF Pro and Contact 7). What do I have to do to get these working again? There
   are no updates for them at this time, that I know of. I wish I never updated 
   to 4.5.

 * Specifically those two aren’t working?
 * If so, I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/contact-form-7](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/contact-form-7)
   and [https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/](https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/)

 * So, you don’t think the update would affect plugins? Can I downgrade to the old
   version of WP?

 * The upgrade shouldn’t have directly affected the plugins. FWIW, I’m using CF7
   on some of my sites and it seems to be working just fine post WP upgrade. It 
   is possible, however, that you’ve hit a plugin or theme conflict. Or even that
   files for those plugins have been inadvertently damaged on your server.
 * You could try downloading both plugins to your computer, unpacking them and then
   uploading both folders to the wp-content/plugins folder on your server using 
   [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or use whatever file management
   application your host provides. That should remedy any file damage.

 * In addition, both plugins report compatibility with WordPress 4.5, so if you 
   are encountering any bugs that re-installing the plugins doesn’t fix, you’ll 
   need to contact their support.

 * I have a bit of a strange one. I have two separate site that are both running
   the exact same template, same plugins…same everything. One is basically a test
   bed for the other one. [http://catasticproducts.com/](http://catasticproducts.com/)
   and [http://www.drjayowens.com/](http://www.drjayowens.com/)
 * The only variable in this is hosting. Could that be the cause of it?
    Luckily
   the test site is the broken one 🙂
 * EDIT the broken site has reverted back to the default template, which is better
   than it was doing. Initially it was just showing a blank white screen.

 * That’s a very different issue, would you please open a new thread about it?
