   Hi! I reset the name of the plugin file but still couldn’t login. Anyone else have the same problem or have some advice?

   Thanks!

     Hey Susan,

     You need to change the name of the plugins folder located inside /wp-content/ folder on your website.

   Something killed two of my sites. I ssh’d in and renamed the plugins folder, went into my WP admin, logged in, went to the plugins page. Then all plugins were disabled via the admin panel. My site was working again!

   Then I renamed the plugins folder back to the original name and updated and reactivated my plugins. Something had caused my site to crash. Unfortunately, I’ll have to keep an eye open for this. Uptime monitors help!

   Thanks for this writeup wpbeginner!

    On my wordpress site, I got “the white screen of death” with the message “Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at …)

    So we tried deactivating the plugins and it still doesn’t work-we still can’t get inside the admin console. We had issues with Google Adwords, and deleted those plugins, and now we actually do get ads…Not crystal on what’s going on? Any help would be much appreciated.

      Another cause is if your php memory limit is too low. Please make sure your memory limit in php is set to at least 128M or 256M.

      The other common cause is with a poorly coded theme. If you just installed a theme and this appears, you can re-enable the default theme by logging into PHPmyadmin, selecting your database, and changing the following values from wp_options table to a default theme that is present (twentyeleven, twentytwelve, twentythirteen, twentyfourteen, etc). Make sure this is a theme you actually have, and you can check your themes in the wp-content/themes directory. The values that need changes are:
      template
      stylesheet
      current_theme

    After deactivating, can I reactivate the active plugins using the PHP method?

    Responder

    • WPBeginner Support

      No, but you can activate your installed plugins by visiting the plugins page in your WordPress admin area. However, if a plugin was causing an issue on your website, then reactivating it will trigger the same issue again. This is how you can find out which plugin is causing the issue and find an alternative.

    Hi, I am working on a locally hosted site running Xampp.
    I am getting “Robot test error: I suggest a new strategy, R2, let the Wookie win.”, when I try to login to my locally hosted site on wordpress. I read a few articles and went to my phpmyadmin page, and clicked on the database I am using, selected “wp_options”, but I cannot find the “active_plugins”.
    Does anyone know another way around getting rid of this error?So I can log back into my site.

    Responder

    • Claire

      Managed to find a solution went to my xampp folder, htdocs, then the name of the site I am creating. Then wp_content, then plugins, and deleted the folder containing the reCaptcha plugin, as this was giving me the “Robot test error: I suggest a new strategy, R2, let the Wookie win.”error.
      Then could log back in with no problem

    This is a great page. FTP solution worked like a dream to fix my white screen of death. Note to self – always update all plugins before wordpress core…

    Thanks for putting the different options on a page.
    Makes it a clear list to go by checking the problem. What is not in the list but worked for me, is temporarily disabling the .htaccess file by renaming it and so I could working from there.

      Delete W3 Total Cache folder using Filezilla and start using WP Super Cache plugin.

    Mine is a different case, after disabling all the plugins by deleting the codes, the plugins and even widgets stopped showing by I was still unable to login to my admin page. Since the plugins are not the cause, I pasted the codes back and the plugins and widgets didn’t show up again! What happened?

    Thanks, worked a treat.
    Much easier than I thought it would be.

    I knew which plugin was the problem so went in with FTP and renamed the individual plugin module folder – logged back into WP and was able to delete the plugin from within wp-admin/plugins.

    OH BOY… this just saved my tail end best I can tell… 6/15/16… Adminimize plugin upgrade crashed / blocked access to my admin panel.
    THANK YOU SO SO MUCH this handy reference still lives on the web!!!

    • MBHayes

      … my case continues and is not closed after all …
      When I renamed plugins and then soft restarted apache my admin panel was good… however, once I renamed plugins back to plugins from deactivate.plugins… AGAIN the admin panel would fire on IE but not let you in and would not fire at all on Firefox!
      Oh boy… more CSI time……………………………

      Responder

      • MBHayes

        Case Closed… before we BASH adminimize which has been a faithful plugin… let me say I’ve managed to reach the admin panel and reactivated adminimize and everything is still running.

        My case was somewhat varied to this post… in my case my site was a vm running on ubuntu… I didn’t have access over the normal channels due to a network move killing off my webmin and winscp access… so while I used the same principals here I had to actually drill down by logging into the unbuntu server –> cd /var/www/wp-content/plugins. At first I RENAMED the plugins directory — it failed I guess cause while I logged in I logged back out then renamed the directory. Anyway, I continued to toy around and went back from within the plugins directory and renamed about 5 plugins (mv deact.plugin1… deact.plugin2… etc…. fired the wp-admin and we’re good! Reactivated about 3 of the 5 so far and it hasn’t crashed back out yet. Still testing… in summary want to emphasize that I can’t for sure at the moment say I lost the admin panel on the adminimize plug-in… but one of the 5 for sure caused issue. Anyway, I’m back slowly reactivating the rest!

    i tried everything but my site is still not starting pls help me.
    and i think this problem started after the wordpress update.

      It is possible that a WordPress update was stopped before completion. Try downloading a fresh copy of WordPress, unzip it on your computer and then upload them back to your server using FTP. This will overwrite WordPress core files.

    How to Navigate to the /wp-content/ folder ?

    Responder

    • WPBeginner Support

      You can visit it in your browser, like this:

      example.com/wp-content

      Replace example.com with the domain of the website.

      However, wp-content file has a blank index.php file in it. So you will only be able to see a white screen.

      If you know the full URL to a file, then you can view it in your browser like this:

      example.com/wp-content/path/to/file.jpg

      To navigate wp-content as an admin you need to use an FTP client or File Manager in cPanel.

    Thanks so much for this, and the https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-the-internal-server-error-in-wordpress/ page, they were just an absolute lifesaver for me. The first reaction to an internal error is total panic, and nowhere else gave such simple step by step instructions on how to solve. Thanks a lot, genuinely great site.
