    I recently moved my site to a new host, I managed to get the wordpress blog running, ie. database etc but I can’t log into my Admin page. In fact when I click my link to the admin log-in all I get is a blank page. I can go to my blog page and click the “Log In” link I can see the Log in entry boxes but when I try to log in I get a :”Error: Cookies are blocked due to unexpected output.” I clicked the “please see this documentation” link all it was is how to turn on cookies< my cookies are already turned on also 3rd party cookies, I tried the “Lost your Password?” link but it just takes me to another blank page

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Try manually resetting your plugins (no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

    That worked! I had to use the ‘rename plugin folder’ method as I first tried the myphpadmin method but …”In the table wp_options, under the option_name column (field) find the active_plugins row”… I had no active-plugins in the option name column…

    Thanks a million, it’s just a stupid info blog but I have been working on it for 20 years

    1. Check wp-config.php for extra spaces

    2. Enable Debug Mode for Errors

    3. Rename Plugins Folder

    4. Check .htaccess

    5. Check for BOM in Theme Files

    Now apply for fixes and let me know if it works for you
