    Renaming the /plugins/ folder is a good way to deactivate all plugins. The same is not true for themes folder. Instead, only rename the folder of the theme you are currently using. WP will then fallback to one of its default twenty* themes, which it needs to be able to find in the /themes/ folder. This is why you cannot rename /themes/ like you renamed /plugins/. Restore the proper /themes/ name please.

    Since you’ve visited the site since renaming /plugins/, you may restore that name too. Plugins will remain deactivated. If you don’t see any error messages due to WP_DEBUG being true, restore your normal theme and plugins, one at a time, until the problem returns. The last activated module would be the cause.

    When you’re in debug mode, it’s often useful to also disable the critical error screen. PHP will output error messages directly onto the page. Disable by adding this to wp-config.php:
    define( 'WP_DISABLE_FATAL_ERROR_HANDLER', true );
    Be sure a similar define line does not already exist. If it does, just edit the one that’s there. When you’ve resolved all errors, be sure to restore both this and WP_DEBUG to false.
