Troubleshooting Wordpress: How I Accidentally Crashed My Website

[PampChefJoy]

As I logged in to post an update about having the flyers available tomorrow - I saw a notice about upgrading to a new version of Wordpress (which is what my new site runs on).

So I followed the directions and updated... and now all I get is a blank screen....

GRRRRRR

I do have the database backed up but it might take me awhile to figure out how to restore it. Any Wordpress geeks out there?

oh - i thought us cheffers killed the server by all logging in hoping to see the new fliers

OH NO JOY!! That really blows. I don't know ANYTHING about that. Sorry and hope you get it resolved soon. I was just about to check your site out to see if it was posted yet!

 

[PampChefJoy]

I'm fiddling with it but if I can't get it figured out quickly, I'll just post a plain HTML page with some links to tide everyone over.

I should have known better... it took me FOREVER to get the first version going as I blew the database... I might have to wipe it and start over.

Oh no, Joy!! (((HUGS))) and good luck getting it up and running again! My DH has been creating a website for the past 6 months, so I know how much work goes into them - hang in there!!

 

[PampChefJoy]

LOL - I always joke that I know *just enough* to be dangerous.... a danger to myself! And yet I know not enough to fix anything that goes wrong...

 

[PampChefJoy]

Okay, I fixed most of it. Although I restored the database, I need to rebuild some of the layout and design structure. I have no idea what happened to my header logo -- it's not quite the same.... but at least I don't have to start from scratch!

and I even managed to recreate one of my flyers instead of waiting till I get home tomorrow!

Joy!

You are supposed to be enjoying your parent's house - not fretting online

 

[PampChefJoy]

Hahaha... are you kidding? I am totally relaxing... no housework, no cooking, no kids to watch...

Okay, well somewhat relaxed... except for the site rebuilding...

 

[cathyskitchen]

OK, you can go to bed now, Joy! ((HUGS)) and thanks for all of your hard work!!

 

[cathyskitchen]

Joy - one quick note - I saw your "going going gone" flyer, and noticed that you have the new Season's Best picture on there for the one that's being retired. Just thought you might want to correct that.

Thank you Joy! You rock!!

I see you're doing the Fall Flash again this year. Thank you!
