  • Hey ??
    Try to open admin page after deactivating all your plugin!

    But I can’t enter the admin page to deactivate all plugins.
    That’s my problem..
    It redirects to the site’s homepage..

    Do you have access to cpanel?

    Go try going to cpanel then go to PhpMyadmin and do teh following:

    look for active_plugins under wp_options in your database and simply remove the entry (this is the same with deactivating all plugins)

    then you can go login and reactivate them 1 by 1 to determine which plugin is causing the issue.

    I fear to do this in case the site gets in more trouble…

    its simply deactivating plugins will not create more issues if you do it right.
    i can assist you though if you are not confident to proceed with the process.

    That would be great ??

    The best way to deactivate the plugins is to rename the plugins directory using FTP or the control panel’s file manager.

    Mucking around in the database ain’t a good idea.

    I agree with @jnashhawkins. Best way is to rename plugin folders.

    Hi there,

    Have you figured it out @paraskevas1996?

    Please try manually resetting your plugins (no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

    In case any of this fix your problem, so try downloading WordPress again, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, and delete then replace your 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.

    Some uploaders tend to be unreliable when overwriting files, so don’t forget to delete the original files before replacing them.
