    On July 16th an attempt was made to update WordPress for http://www.HicksWithSticks.com. The update failed and took the site down. The site can no longer be viewed or edited. The site host has been contacted, but isn’t seeing anything unusual except for the July 16th attempt to update. Any advice for restoring the site? …or editing capability?

    Your site hickswithsticks.com is a self-hosted WordPress.org blog, which we really can’t help with.

    To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.

    WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress via their Codex and Support Forums.

    That being said, Internal server errors (Error 500) are often caused by plugin or theme function conflicts, so if you have access to your admin panel, try deactivating all plugins. If you don’t have access to your admin panel, try manually resetting your plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.
