 * When I tried to login to my blog, I received this error: “There has been a critical
   error on your website.” I wasn’t allowed to login. I need help to fix this.
    
   I recently activated a new blog theme, could this have anything to do with receiving
   this message? Thank you Camille Goscicki

 * Try [manually resetting your plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/article/faq-troubleshooting/#how-to-deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-the-administrative-menus)(
   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](https://wordpress.org/support/article/ftp-clients/),
   or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting
   provider’s documentation for specifics on these), 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).

 * Hi,
 * We are also facing same issue. Has any one found a way to fix this issue ? It
   would be much appreciated if some help on the same. We cant able to do anything
   on our website since it shows only “Theres been a critical error on your website”.

 * Hi,
    I couldn’t fix the issue myself (though I appreciated the information from
   James Huff) so I ended up going to my site host provider, and they were able 
   to fix the issue for me via live chat.
