   I usually don’t comment on posts like this, and I know this post is insanely old (by today’s standards) but I just wanted to thank you for this quick fix. I was able to access the /plugins folder via Media Temple’s file manager, change the folder name, and target the problem plugin… THANK YOU!!!

   I could not get into my blog at all to edit anything. I followed your directions on deleting a plug-in. That fixed it. Thank you for the info and for explaining it in a way that is easy to understand!!

   ssh:
   debian@otherland:*/wp-content/plugins$ sudo chown root:root menu-icons/
   debian@otherland:*/wp-content/plugins$ sudo chmod -R 700 ./menu-icons/
   debian@otherland:*/wp-content/plugins$

   then I reloaded “tab with server error 500” and it said to me something like plugin deactivated …files not found.

     Try clearing your cookies and cache, then see if you can get into the admin panel/dashboard

   Thanks very much. It was really helpful. Deactivating the plugins solved the problem. There was one plugin which was causing the white out.

    Hi. I’ve renamed the plugin folder to plugin.deactivate but still have the white screen. I was so hoping I could fix my problem as quickly and easily as other have but not as yet. Any other suggestions? Many thanks.

      Switch to a default theme. You can also try deleting your .htaccess file.

    Nice article. If you know which plugin is causing the problem, can you disable just that plugin from the DB?

    Responder

      Yes…in the your file manager. Just did it successfully-no white death screen

    You can actually do this with the theme directory as well. This is what I had to do as I had both issues, plugins behaving poorly AND a theme issue that locked me out.

    Renamed themes to themes.deactivate and it let me back in to theme management which was keeping me from going any further than dashboard PERIOD.

    Once in there it told me what theme caused the issue in detail but I still had to recreate a new directory called “themes” and copy the good themes over to it before it would let me activate a new theme!

    Hope this sheds some light on possible additional errors

    Hi,

    Thanks for the good job.

    I run Wordpress on a self-hosted IIS via virtual machine.

    Unfortunately I could not rename my plugins folder, I kept getting “folder in use”

    What do I do?

    Thanks in advance.

    Responder

    • John Wiley

      Turn off the World Wide Web Publishing Service while you rename the folder. IIS is reading and locking that folder open.

      Contact your web host to find out why you can’t access FTP. You can also access your files and folders using the file manager in cPanel (Your web hosting account dashboard).

    Huge help for me this morning! I hadn’t been on my admin panel in a few days. I open it up and selected all the plugin updates and updated them all at once… big mistake. Got the WSOD and started freaking out. lol

    Then I found this article which helped immensely! Worked like a charm. I found the bad plugin and deleted it.

    Thanks for the great article!

      I have a same problem. I can open dashboard of wordpress and also home page. But when I open any other page it says This webpage has a redirect loop

      ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
      I remmber I only delete 2 plugins. I didn’t any update. But it remains. Kindly guide me.

      • WPBeginner Support

        If you have tried deactivating all your WordPress plugins, then try this.

        Connect to your website using an FTP client. In the root directory you will find a .htaccess file. Download it to your computer. Delete the original file from your website. Visit your site’s admin area and go to Settings » Permalinks. Do not change any settings on the page, just click on the save changes button. Check your website to see if the error has resolved.

          Thank you for you kind reply.
          I solved the problem last night after post here.

          ”
          This is the solution and how to fix it:
          In our wp-config.php, we overwrite the given server-variables that cause the problem by adding this below your database-configuration in wp-config:

          if(isset($_SERVER[‘HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR’])) {
          $list = explode(‘,’,$_SERVER[‘HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR’]);
          $_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’] = $list[0];
          }
          $_SERVER[ ‘SERVER_ADDR’ ] = DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE;
          $_SERVER[ ‘REMOTE_ADDR’ ] = DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE;
          $_SERVER[ ‘HTTP_HOST’ ] = DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE;

          ”
          I saw this link.
          You all can visit it. Thank God, I was trying for three days. Thank you all of you.

    Hi, I ran into this problem today. I knew the name of the plugin causing the problem and engaged a consultant.

    He had access to my cPanel. Somhow he was able to deactivate the problem plugin but would not tell me how he did it.

    Do you have any idea how he might have done it?

      You can rename the plugin folder to deactivate all plugins again. Create a new plugins folder under /wp-content/ and then download and install fresh copies of all your plugins.

    Brilliant writeup, simple and easy. Our environmental blog Earth5R had this critical problem where authors and admin could not log it, applied this solution and it worked like magic. There was one of the few unnecessary plugins that was causing the problem. That also bring a lesson, keep only the most necessary plugin! Thanks a lot, that was such a time save.

    Thank you. Problem was a bad plugin upgrade. Using FTP and changing plugin directory name, instantly gave back my ability to get to the wp-login page, then change the plugin directory back again via FTP allowed me to re-activate plugins in turn, thereby identifying the dodgy plugin easily. This was incredibly helpful and resolved my problem. Thanks you.

    Great post, thank you!
    I got an Internal Server Error while trying to add tracking code to my functions.php file through the editor on WP. After getting the error I removed the code from the file, which should have fixed it, but I still had the error. I opened the file manager in my hosting account and navigated to the functions.php file. When I opened it the code that caused the error was still in the file. Once I removed the code the error went away. Hope this helps.
