Wordpress - My whole site just disappeared? WTF!!!!!!!!!!
 

When I try to load the site or the admin, I just get a blank white page. In a cruel display of irony, the last thing I was doing was activating a backup plugin and it was taking forever so I stopped it and restarted it, and now nothing... if I look on the server, everything is still there, but i get a blank page.

I just did a google search and everything I am seeing is telling me to do shit in the admin, but my admin is a blank page too!!

Someone please tell me there is a simple explanation and fix???

try using your ftp tool and delete the plugin you just installed.

What version is it?

What plugin were you installing?

10 minutes of freaking out and it was that easy. Thanks so much. I was losing it.


The plugin was simply BackUpWordPress and I will not be trying it again.

I have Updraft already activated but it hasn't worked since I upgraded wordpress to 3.01 so I really need a reliable backup solution.

never stop a backup:2 cents:

It wasn't backing up. I was activating the plugin and it froze for almost a minute so it was probably a server hiccup and wasn't going to recover, but I know what you are saying.

It is unfortunate that you get a blank page.
Look on the good site, you can start from scratch.

I'm using WP-DBManager, and it gives me a nice backup every hour.

That's just the DB though. At least I assume it is by the name? Updraft was a nice solution because it did a daily backup of the DB, the content and the theme files and put a zip on the server and emailed me, but it just stopped working. I even deactivated, deleted and reinstalled it and it just doesn't work.

Yes, it's only the db. I always make sure I have files synchronized, and nothing goes up without going through here first, so what's on the server, is also in the studio. Re-upping everything sucks of course, but it's foolproof. Plus without backing up everything every time (server side) and only backing the db, I can set it for every hour, (like I have already) and then if anything goes wrong, the most I lose is an hour's worth of data from the db... but no file loss. :2 cents:

Yeah, that makes sense. My problem is that I use timthumbs to let wordpress make a few different versions of every image I upload, and they are all used in different areas of the site, so I really need my content backed up too.

Thanks for the input though :thumbsup

some plugins dont have the correct code to uninstall, so it gets stuck, blankwhite page, is common for either errors in functions.php in your theme or a badly coded plugin, which will cause the white blank page.

It probably had something to do with the Wordpress plugin directory going down for a little bit a few hours back.

I had a similar issue as it seems to have gone down while I was installing a plugin.

It's back up and running now, so I was able to install the plugin no problem.
