    I went to bulk action a plugin and accidentally pressed deactivate all and now I am unable to access my dashboard and keep getting messages like – Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 19456 bytes) in /home/content/49/10029949/html/love/wp-admin/includes/theme.php on line 468, and Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 19456 bytes) in /home/content/49/10029949/html/love/wp-admin/includes/theme.php on line 260

    Any suggestions because I am now lost on how to access my dashboard and make changes!

    Hello!

    You need to increase the PHP memory in wp-config.php. Here’s how – https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP.

    Here’s how to access that file – https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/FTP_Clients

    Now, depending on your hosting environment, the increased memory might not take effect because your web host has set a limit, and you might have to upgrade your hosting plan. Therefore, I recommend contacting them first and ask them what’s the limit.

    If you’re fluent with PhpMyAdmin (I can’t tell if you are or not, so it’s a “just in case” info), you can also force-activate a plugin with a mostly easy database operation:
    https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/199798/activate-a-plugin-through-phpmyadmin-or-ftp

    Otherwise, just in case, does your blog use a non-default theme? You could try defaulting to a default theme, there’s a slim but not nonexistent chance it may also “unlock” your problem. To do that, simply log in by FTP with an FTP client and, in wp-content/themes, rename the directory containing your currently active theme (you can add an hyphen at the end for instance), and then try loading both homepage and admin in your browser, not finding anymore the current theme in its supposedly known directory will make wordpress default to one of the default themes.
