Oops! That page can’t be found.

Errors like this are logged. Check the error log on your server. If you can’t find the log, please contact your host.

Meantime, enable wp_debug and wp_debug_log and after an error, look at wp-content/debug.log to see if anything gets logged there. https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Debugging_in_WordPress

You can also try this: Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.

If you cannot access wp-admin, there are other ways to deactivate plugins.

I deactivated all the plugins manually, since I could not get into wp-admin, by changing plugin files to _old. However, I did not deactivate the index.php file in the plugin folder. Still nothing.

Under the wp_options table in the phpMyAdmin, option_name column does not have a row “active_plugins”.

This tells me you’re missing WordPress files.

require_once(/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wordpress/wp-load.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wordpress/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php on line 22

Do a manual update to ensure you have all necessary files. https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update

I just moved the files to the newer version of WordPress (ver# 4.8) and left the old version on my Mamp server. I’m getting the old plugins and themes that I had loaded, now at the new location, but I cannot see the pages that I created before. Are there other files and file folders besides index.php, plugins, themes, upgrade and uploads that need moving from the old htdocs folder? Also, I noticed that my media file did not load to the new location. I have also not activated all the old plugins at the new location. Just Site Origin Page Builder and widgits. Do I need to do that? I’m reluctant to activate them since they are not needed and could cause a conflict again. Do you think that maybe I corrupted the files when I deleted the post yesterday? Thanks for your help. Most appreciated.

did you move the database as well? That’s where your content is.

WP Migrate DB would be great if I could get into the old administrative panel on WordPress. Is there another way?

phpmyadmin through your hosting control panel.

I’ve tried that, but the import function stops on line #1050, stating: Table ‘wp commentmeta’ already exists. I guess I need to delete the new database first?

If the old database is corrupted, won’t that put me back at no access to the administration page?
