Blank page on update [Solved] | Forum

I updated my site via admin dashboard then got a blank screen on returning to both site and admin. So I did a manual update and the same thing.

My error log reports the following:
[18-Jul-2014 12:24:10 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function addRoute() on a non-object in /home/my-site/public_html/ow_plugins/privacy/init.php on line 38

1) Will deleting the plugin resolve the issue?

2) I notice there are several folders of plugin files. What is the proper way to delete the plugin via ftp?

Thanks in advance!!!

I deleted the 'privacy' folder from the ow_pluginfiles and ow_plugins folders and got the site back.

I was able to update all plugins. It even showed an update available for the "Privacy" plugin. I updated the Privacy plugin then immediately deleted it.

Seems ok for now

Joe, when you updated Privacy plugin, does the error persist or not?

Hi Ross, thank you...
After I updated, I deleted the plugin then re-installed and it appears to be resolved now.

I wish I had seen this before I restored by site from a weekly backup.  Ok course I do have the site still on the server under a different name. I could go in and see if this solution fixes my issue with the site screen for the site.  If not I can use rename the folders again and get the back up site back again.  It is a shame it it does not work. I use Oxwall ask a locked down private journaling/writing site. I will let you know if it works.

No such luck there isn't even a folder called "privacy" in the folders mentioned and I did have hidden files checked.  Oh well.

Sandy, Joe has deleted "Privacy" plugin because his error was related to it:

[18-Jul-2014 12:24:10 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function addRoute() on a non-object in /home/my-site/public_html/ow_plugins/privacy/init.php on line 38  .

Your issue might be caused by something else. So good place to start with is checking your error logs.
