 * I have followed the instructions by disabling all plugins, activating the basic
   theme, to be able to restore the sire. However, it seems that there is a problem
   in the WP core affecting the layout of both the site itself and the WP control
   panel layout functions. The message “_Warning: If you can still read these words
   after the page finishes loading, then there is a JavaScript or jQuery problem
   in the site. Go here for more information._” remains and all items show up without
   layout in the Updraft control panel as a long list, and only text links working,
   buttons does not respond. (applies to all other plugins too when activated).
   
   Any suggestion on how to solve this so I can recover the site from my backups?

 * Hi,
 * Can you send us your php error logs?
 * Can you also open the JS console when you see the error message(please see here
   for instructions) and take a screenshot of any errors that you see in the JS 
   console?

 * Thank you for your reply.
   I chose to follow your recommended recovery as listed
   on the UpdraftPlus website, namely archive the old site, reinstall the WordPress
   core and the UpdraftPlus plugin and recovered the site that way! Thanks to UpdraftPlus,
   I managed to recover my site with all the member profiles, and the site is up
   and running again.Thank you UpdraftPlus for your support and providing an indispensable
   tool!
