When I tried to open the WP-Admin of my website, it is showing the blank screen. The Wp-login.php is opening but after the login, it is showing the blank screen.

So, I first moved my files and DB from the server to my localhost.

Then, I renamed the plugins folder to plugins_old.

After then, I replaced the copies of everything except the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings.

And then when I opened the wp-admin, it showed me to update the database and after updating the database my wp-admin opened and I am able to work.

In this, by replacing all the files except the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory, Can I remove the particular set of files to open wp-admin?

Any help is much appreciated.
