# WordPress not showing up/database error?

 * We’ve recently gotten our wordpress working correctly. However, earlier I was
   uploading themes to the site in our themes folder. I have checked and nothing
   has been overwritten and our database information is still correct, but for some
   reason nothing comes up under my directory now: (see for yourself)
    [http://www.lptn.org/blog](http://www.lptn.org/blog)
 * We were in the process of updating the theme we selected, and everything seemed
   fine. The only possibility is that perhaps our database is simply down today.
 * If by chance our database server is down (I will be checking with host), would
   this blank screen occur?

 * If database was down you’d be getting an error saying WordPress can’t connect
   to the database.
 * You likely overwrote one of your WordPress files in the upload.
 * You might consider deleting and reuploading the WordPress files as described 
   in Steps 7 and 8 of [Upgrading WordPress Extended](http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress_Extended).

 * Not sure how that could have happened. The only folder we were uploading to was
   the themes folder. Everything seems correct. Even without the theme change it
   seems I should be able to login to wp-admin, but nothing happens. . One of those
   strange situations where everything was fine. I clicked on a link and then everything
   was blank. Earlier we had the common issue of not directing everytying to our
   blog directory, but that was fixed.

 * Might try putting the script described in [Finding_Server_Info](http://codex.wordpress.org/Finding_Server_Info)
   and see if you get results.
 * If no results, check with your host.

 * hahah, found the problem. For some reason when we uploaded our themes each was
   set in another folder with the same name example: /themes/themedirectoryname/
   themdirectortyname/
 * Bad winzip!
 * If this happens to someone else we know the issue now (:
