Wordpress page works weird after update

  • 772

After manually installing a new version of Wordpress, more specifically 4.7.5 coming from 4.3.3, a plugin like Yaost SEO or the All In One SEO Pack causes the page not to load directly and remains blank. It does not even enter the administrator menu and I am forced to delete those plugins via FTP.

I have been removing and putting the rest of the plugins by hand and I have come to the conclusion that these two plugins (testing both separately) give problems.

I have followed the recommended update procedure and this afternoon the page was working fine and tonight I looked and it was already working strangely. One of the pages where I had a form made with Form Maker directly did not show the text or the form.

How delicate is this to update Wordpress? I wanted to include version 4.7.5 since I had plugins that didn't make it to the latest version 4.8 but I see that I may have to go back to the previous version.

Version data:

  • PHP 5.3
  • MYSQL 5.6
  • Wordpress 4.3.11(Old) (4.7.5 new version fails)

After retesting I have verified that on a page where I have a form made with Form Maker, this is not displayed nor is the text when entering the page as a normal guest, but as an administrator the content of that page appears even if I have it in public. Yoast SEO plugins or All In One SEO Pack when installed makes the admin page look blank and I think the page in general too, but resetting to the previous version of Wordpress seems to work fine again. Does this have something to do with the version of PHP or mysql? Would you recommend updating wordpress?
Since my old version (4.3.11) seems a bit outdated and new versions could bring interesting things.

    The first and biggest problem I see is that you are using PHP 5.3, at least I recommend usingPHP 5.6

    After that, do you have some kind of server log where we can see if it's giving errors when loading the page?

    It would be good to know if the theme you have installed is modified by you, since that can also influence it.

    Note that the minimum version of Wordpress does not have to be the same as the minimum version of the plugins:

    So in theory you shouldn't have any problems, but what I've told you, first try to change the version to PHPat least 5.6 and from there we'll look for more things.
