Our site’s problem had nothing what so ever to do with plugins. What a waste of my time!

On January 24th PHP released a bug fix version 8.1.2. I applied that update on Jan 26th. Our site was running WP 5.8.3 at that time. Version 5.9 of WP released on Jan 26. The PHP update broke wp-login.php causing all my problems. Discovering this information took me many more hours than it should have, troubleshooting software issues is NOT my day job.

The PHP update also broke WP-CLI so I was not able to manually update our site to WP 5.9. Our website has WP audo-updates enabled but that didn’t apply until last night.

Administrator login is now working fine again. Such is life when living on the bleeding edge of technology evolution.

Thank you for replying. I don’t think you understand what my problem is. I cannot login to my site’s administration dashboard page. I have SSH remote console access only to our site. I do not have the knowledge how to disable plugins via command line console. I do not know how to access the health-check plugin from command line console. By the way, the Health-Check plugin is installed and I know how to use it from the Dashboard page – but I cannot get to that page.

Guests to our site see the site fine and I’m worried someone will purchase something that I won’t be able to ship since I cannot access the Dashboard.
