Cornerstone not loading - no error message

After 10 minutes of watching the logo spin around, nothing has loaded.
My site is set to automatically update, so I assume there’s no issue there.

The site address is www.arithmeticvillage.com

Your help will be much appreciated.

Hi @jmsinnz,

Thanks for reaching out.
It seems that you are using the much older version X (version 4.0.3) theme and the Cornerstone (version 1.0.0), whereas the latest version of X is 8.1.5 and the Cornerstone is 5.1.5. The issue you are having might be due to the incompatibility between X and Cornerstone. I would also suggest you follow the below steps while updating the X theme and the Cornerstone.

  1. Delete the Cornerstone existing one
  2. Update the X theme to the latest version on automatic updates
  3. After deletion of the Cornerstone, please use the link in the dashboard to automatically install the Cornerstone.

Hope this helps.
Thanks

Thanks @tristup - Here’s what I experienced while trying to implement step one:

  1. Delete the Cornerstone existing one

I assumed you meant the Cornerstone Plugin. Yes?

I selected the Cornerstone plugin and tried to Deactivate it first. It appeared to process the request, but kept returning to the active state and the Deactivate option.

Tried selecting and Deleting the plug in.
Similarly, it was not deleted and remained as an active plugin.

Any ideas?

Any more thoughts or suggestions on how to get my website working again?
This is becoming rather important.

Found this Update to Cornerstone Version 5.1.5 crashes my site I got the same when trying to update again. I’ve now retrieved an old backup while waiting for help …

Hey @jmsinnz,

I have logged in and went ahead to update your X theme to 8.1.5 and Cornerstone to 5.1.5 version. You should now be able to edit a page in Cornerstone.

Check your site now.

Thank you!
Yes, that works now.
Is there any need to track future updates or are these set to be automatic from here on?

Hi @jmsinnz,

Great that it works now. The future update notification can be found in the Appearance > Themes or X/Pro > Validation.

Thanks
