- Use FTP to access your site
bv. http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
- rename all plugins by putting a ‘0’ in front of each plugin -folder;
../wp-content/plugins
- Check if the access / ‘normal functioning’ has been restored
- If so: one-by-one, remove the ‘0’, checking every time to see if the problem re-occurs.
- when the problem re-occurs, you’ve found the source of the problem; Delete and find a similar plugin that works with your site
- alternatively: FTP:Delete; Then download and install / activate a NEW version of the problematic plugin and see if this works.
Alternatively:
Instead of ftp, use the webaccess dashboard functions provided by the webhost.
This usually is not as versatile and more cumbersome.

Thanks, I tried that, but it didn’t work. Seems as if wp-print has written some code in any core files or elsewhere.
Meanwhile I found an totally different way to restore my Sites.
Here is what helped:
- Access to the server by my FTP (I’ve got a Mac, so I use Cyberduck instead of filezilla),
- deactivate the .htaccess file on the server by renaming it to _.htacess.
- then I was able to enter the admin area again,
- there under settings/permalinks I refreshed the permalinks,
- the refreshing creates automatically a new .htaccess fileon the server.
- The lines automatically set there I deleted in the old .htaccess file,
- then copied the rest of the content of the old _.htaccess file to the new .htaccess file.
Et voilà!
Well done, and thanks for sharing the tip.
