Site Crashes When Updating to WordPress (Version 3.6)

by

Probably the update wasn’t complete and some files are missing.

If you have FTP access, follow these steps.

  1. Download you wp-config.php and save it somewhere.
  2. In the wp folder on server delete everything but the wp-content folder
  3. Have a DB backup, if you can
  4. Download from wordpress.org the zip of wordpress and extract it
  5. At this moment remove the wp-content folder from the extracted zip
  6. Also remove the wp-config-sample.php and put there your wp-config.php
  7. Via FTP, upload to server all the files

Now it should work, but probably you have to change hosting…
