      Hey,

      it seems that the Wordpress auto-update has totally fucked up my site. I get a "HTTP ERROR 500" error code whenever I try to get to my website and/or the backend.

      My webhoster's support told me it's a corrupted functions.php file that's causing the error and told me to just re-upload fresh Wordpress files to my ftp. So I was wondering if there is any chance that my site will still work with all its settings and design changes I made after re-uploading the Wordpress files. Any idea where the settings are stored? Any chance to back them up?

      Thanks!

        Hey Dnz!

        I am very sorry to hear this!

        Yes, this is a problem we (web-developers) all have to face from time to time.
        Serverproblems, 500 Errors etc…

        No need to panic yet. All your files and database-entries are still there.

        What I would do in your case is to get a database backup. You can do the in php Admin in your Webspace or ask your provider to send you the database.

        Then I would go on the Webserver FTP and download all the upload folder.

        Then install Wordpress locally on your computer using MAMP or install it on a Subdomain for test-reasons.

        Install Laytheme again, drag and drop the upload folder into Wordpress and the import the database.

        To import the database can be a bit tricky if you have never done this before but there are good tutorials online to guide you through the process.

        So actually you are making a fresh Wordpress and get content and data back in. Once it is running locally or on your testserver, you can trow it back online.

        I know that sucks. I've been through that a couple of times. Especially before deadlines :-)

        Good luck and let me know if you need further assistance!

            1. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
            2. Disable all Plugins
            3. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code ", click "Save Changes"
            4. Now see if your problem solved itself
