 * 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!
