Hi, @teddybear13
Try manually resetting your plugins (no Dashboard access required) using one of the two methods listed below (also described here). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.
1. Reset your plugins folder via FTP or the file manager provided in your host’s control panel. This method preserves plugin options but requires plugins be manually reactivated.
- Navigate to the
wp-contents
folder - Rename the folder
plugins
in it toplugins.hold
- Login to your WordPress then go to Dashboard > Plugins
yourdomain.com/wp-admin/plugins.php
– this will disable any plugin that is “missing”, so all of them. - Then, rename
plugins.hold
back toplugins
and activate in Dashboard all the plugins except the one causing troubles
2. Use phpMyAdmin to deactivate all plugins.
- In the table wp_options, under the option_name column (field) find the
active_plugins
row - Change the
option_value
field to:a:0:{}
. This will deactivate all plugins. - Then from Dashboard you need to reactivate all plugins, except the one causing you troubles
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).
Hope this helps,
Kind regards!
Thank you! Problem Solved.
Yay! Happy to help! Glad you found the problem and now it’s fixed!
