    I cannot login and there are errors being displayed at the top of the site. When I try and login to wordpress, I get cookie errors:
    “ERROR: Cookies are blocked due to unexpected output. For help, please see this documentation or try the support forums.”

    I’ve allowed and cleared cookies but no success.

    Anyone have ideas on what I need to do?

    I see this:

    
Warning: mysql_real_escape_string(): Access denied for user 'oldstuff'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home2/oldstuff/public_html/wp-content/plugins/easy-contact-forms/easy-contact-forms-database.php on line 152

Warning: mysql_real_escape_string(): A link to the server could not be established in /home2/oldstuff/public_html/wp-content/plugins/easy-contact-forms/easy-contact-forms-database.php on line 152

    That error comes from easy-contact-forms. According to their plugin page,

    This plugin hasn’t been updated in over 2 years. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

    Time to find a new form plugin. My favorite is Formidable.

    In the meantime, to get your site back, delete wp-content/plugins//easy-contact-forms via FTP or your hosting control panel’s file manager app.

    Thank you Steve. I am new to maintaining the clubs website so I am in process of back tracking the info need to access the site as you described. I will likely have more questions, but once I can log in again, I should be good to go to correct the issue.
