Thank you for the tip, James.
I was able to fix it.
It was a bad wordpress install, so I simply did a manual update and it worked again.
I had to do everything through FTP because I couldn’t access any of the pages.
I learned a lot and I appreciate the resource this forum provides.
Happy holidays
Okay thank you, Tara,
I know what I’m doing is a work around.
But today I found out that it’s because of the server environment.
I was told that it’s necessary because of how the server is set up.
I found the cause, however.
In 4.6 the line of code I refered to above is no longer located in the functions.php file.
Now it’s found in the load.php file.
Because I’m running SSL, and because of the server environment my site is on, I need to find the code (referenced above) and change the last line to return true.
Thank you again, Tara, for your reply.
I agree whole heartedly with your advice about not editing core files.
However, for my situation, it’s a necessary evil.
Have a great day,
Dan
