I don’t know why i was getting so many server errors, but let me explain, maybe this will help somebody else.
I have shared hosting on a linux server which is under the main website. I have registered more websites and built them all in wordpress using this theme. When I updated one of the subdomains there was at least a 20 minute lag where the site had 2 menus and sliders were broken and various other problems which finally cleared up on its own. So I felt safe updating the main site.
The main site took down the whole server after the upgrade. On the main site i had Wordfence activated, which i suspect has something to do with how it failed. I was unable to install new plug ins or update anything or see wordpress news, it was showing an error saying wordpress.org could not be reached. but after the 20 minutes went by, the main site and all the sub sites went down timing out and a blank screen.
I could see on my control panel that I was maxing out on resources, so i called my hosting company for help. they tried to upsell me saying i needed more resources. I hung up on them and dug deeper. I went to Softaculous (my one click installer for wordpress) and uninstalled word press on the main site. data everything. that instantly cleared up all the problems on the other sites. And the control panel showed I was using next to no resources, so that was the answer.
I don’t know what is causing the problem but The work around is to start over. I’m very tired now – I had to stay up most of the night restoring things, today everything is ok, but I will not be upgrading any more themes on any of the sites I have Evolve.
I suggest the theme developer explore a shared hosting linux server which most people use, and try updating with yoast seo and wordfence running to see what is causing the crash. The 20 min wait for double menu’s and stuff is probably dns on the server doesn’t update for a while.
Good Luck everyone!
I have reinstalled evolve to the main site now, i used 2.6.8 version. I don’t trust the new version.
will be up all night now rebuilding the site.
No more updates please. I have more gray hair now.
not a browser cache problem was same in other browsers. Server issue maybe with the update.
it cleared up by itself. don’t know why. took about 20 minutes.
Thank you, that solved my problem on 10 websites!!!!
Are you going to update the custom-css.php in the next update?
The menu color should graduate from light to dark smoothly but it does not. Horizontal color shift in middle of the menu.
Please look at http://americaswatchdog.com
version 2.6.8
