Auto-update of plugins , now Critical Error

  • I received a WordPress email that, after an auto Plugin update, some failed to update.

    My (self hosted) site works, but when I access /wp-admin/plugins.php and login, I get the error “There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.”

    But how can I isolate/troubleshoot which Plugin is causing this error, when the entire page is down??

    Thank you in advance for your help!

  • Hello @hibeverly

    you need to use your FTP account and disable plugins through the host. Locate your WordPress files and go to wp-content/plugins. now change the folder’s name from plugins to something else.(you can rename main folder of plugin or one by one individual plugin folder inside the plugin folder)

    You can rename it to anything, for example, plugins_old. by doing so your plugins will be disabled. Now try to login into your WordPress dashboard. If this fixes the issue then it means one of your plugins is interfering with your login page.
