Admin Missing / Broken FIX

As a heads up for the millions of users of WordPress, I wish to comment how “disabling plugins” will fix most bugs.

Here are a few bugs that I have fixed by disabling plugins such a security and SEO. After I have done what I wanted, I re-activate the plugin.

• Missing admin pages
• Missing admin posts
• Blank Admin Editor
• No HTML Editor
• Admin pages appearing as text only
• Admin pages are blank
• wp-admin shows as a blank page
• Admin blank but Admin menu showing

Finally, if you’re getting memory errors and possibly even locked out, the fastest way is to disable all plugins is by renaming the plugin folder
/public_html/wp-content/plugins
to
/public_html/wp-content/plugins1

You can access it via FTP, or via cPanel/File Manager

After renaming the folder, login, because you will now have access, load the plugin list.
All you will see is a list of deactivated plugins: The plugin “plugin name” has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist.
Rename “plugins1” back to “plugins” and refresh your plugins list.
Deactivate any plugin that you think may be causing the issue.

If refreshing the page produces an error, all plugins will have to be deactivated in the database.
Its not as hard as it sounds.
Access the database. I do i through cPanel/phpMyAdmin/database name/table_options/
Locate the option: active_plugins (#33), then ‘edit’.
Remove everything in the option_value field and save (GO)
Now login to wp admin, as all plugins have been deactivated

Good luck, happy wordpressing!
