Did the same thing with Bluehost.com. They rock! They rolled me back to the 1.7.3 theme and I was able to activate it. Everything looks normal.

It’s a good idea to have a traffic-free website (say, a cheap .info domain) that runs using exactly the same design/theme/child theme, and using exactly the same plugins, as your money site. Then, when it’s time to update something important, or you need to implement some code and don’t know how it’s going to turn out, you can mess around using the dummy site.

@akc1207, can you update to 1.8 again, then visit your site several times and let the Internal Server Error message appears several times, then get the error log straight away and post it on pastebin again? Logs usually fill up very fast, and all the other unrelated errors/warnings/notices can easily bury the one we’re interested in.

Apart from that, anybody else has access to their error log?

Can someone please help. I called my server and they say they can’t roll me back to the 1.7.3 theme and I have no tech skills to fix it. In a panic.

Just to expand on Metamorpheus,

You can also set it up in a subdirectory of your current domain. For example, my main site is http://joshlobe.com and my test site can be found at http://joshlobe.com/testsite.

Just create a new folder in your root directory, name it testsite or whatever, and install wordpress again in that directory. Set up a separate database… and you have a functional, test site.

Perform your upgrades to the test site first… evaluate… and then make the transition on your main site.

i is not PHP that causes the problem.

I have a MU installation on the same server (not for my main website thats outside MU) and i tryed installing (not update) Graphene on one and that works.
