Pi-Hole web GUI was working perfectly fine previously prior to 3.3.

The 3.3 update is really screwed up. First the update wouldn't go through, tried it a couple of times and it finally updated the core and FTL. I had to do a manual git checkout on the web ui folder and then delete the old .db file and reboot. That fixed it, it seems. I lost all my stats though
I snapshot my vms before doing upgrades so I can roll back easily unlike most which sucks, I figured worst case I roll back and let them fix it in a future revision.
I had a backup but wanted to see if I can get it to work. They are saying the web ui not updating is just cosmetic and updating git tags would fix it. Nope. Regular git pull didn't work, complained about a bunch of not committed changes (wut). I did a hard reset and then git pull (or checkout, not sure now) and it finally pulled 3.3
That's when the ui started misbehaving - wrong hostnames, empty query log etc. The ad blocking itself still worked though.
That's when I deleted pihole-FTL.db and let it recreate it. Had to reboot twice after that
I am not running any themes or customizations
I solved this by doing the following:
sudo mv /etc/pihole-FTL.db /etc/pihole-FTL.db.oldpihole -r
Select "Repair".You will lose legacy logs however.
Try clearing your browser cache
Cleared chromes cache, installed a new browser the latest Firefox with the same issue.
I'm running 2 piholes. Stretch updated no issues, armbian running xenial had problems. Had to completely uninstall and reinstall pihole in order for things to work. Only real difference, dnsmasq was a version earlier on xenial vs stretch.
Try sudo service pihole-FTL restart
I'll give it a shot when I reupgrade, after upgrading I always reboot and I usually try and reboot one or two times following updates to make sure all services start properly.
I am having the same problem. I posted it on their forum too: https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/updated-to-3-3-web-ui-not-working-as-expected/7197
