Updating my wordpress CMS to 4.7 gives me a blank HTML area during the upgrade process

In trying the update again I got it to work. I don’t know why the manual and auto update broke over the past few days. What ever was the cause on my remote’s end is now fixed, or maybe it was me that did something wrong. I basically went through the instructions again and slowly did them step by step, preserving all of he files. I had to edit some constants in the config php file, as my site lost access to my wp directory. I can give a link to that article on how to do it if this happens to anyone. Thanks all.

One tip is to manually reset your plugins folder instead of deactivating all of them via the web interface. It’s a geeky way to do this, but for me that seemed to help.
