 * Try deactivating all of your plugins to explore whether any could be responsible.
   If none are, keep all plugins deactivated and switch to the Twenty Fifteen/ Fourteen
   theme to see whether it could an issue with your theme.
 * If you cannot access your dashboard, you can deactivate all of your plugins via
   FTP. FTP is just a name of the thing that lets you manage the files and folders
   of your website. This is not the WordPress dashboard, this is something that 
   your hosting providers give you. It can just be a simple file manager that lets
   you edit files, upload new ones and rename folders.
 * To deactivate all of your plugins via FTP, you just need to rename the “plugins”
   folder (yes the “plugins” one). Then WordPress will automatically deactivate 
   all of your plugins. You can rename the folder name straight back afterwards.
 * Your website should then be up and running.
 * If your website is still not up and running, you can try deactivating your theme.
   You need to make sure that one of the default WordPress themes, Twenty Fourteen,
   Twenty Fifteen or Twenty Sixteen is available in the “themes/” folder. Then find
   your active theme in the “themes/” folder and rename the folder of your active
   theme, e.g “spun” to “spun-old”. Then rename it straight back afterwards.
 * Then your site should at least be up and running with one of the default themes.
 * If still that doesn’t work, you can try replacing the core WordPress files. Pay
   attention to the bits in bold:
    Try downloading WordPress again and delete then
   replace your copies of everything **except** the `wp-config.php` file and the`/
   wp-content/` directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively
   replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings. Some
   uploaders tend to be unreliable when overwriting files, so don’t forget to delete
   the original files before replacing them.
 * If you need urgent support then we generally forward you onto better support 
   avenues like [WP Jobs](http://jobs.wordpress.net) and [CodePoet](http://directory.codepoet.com/).
   It’s to prevent frustration that your issue has not been resolved in the time
   frame you wanted.
    The WordPress.org forums aren’t a guaranteed way to receive
   support. This is mainly because the people providing support here do so out of
   their spare time and threads can go unresolved for weeks or months.
