 * Since this morning I get this message when trying to visit my page : The site
   is experiencing technical problems.
 * I contacted my hosting already, but apparently it’s a website content problem.
   I didn’t make any changes to my website this morning. Earlier today it was working
   properly, now it’s not. Just like that. Some browsers show the homepage (others
   don’t), but when you click through, the same message appears…
 * No idea what the problem is (besides having a website that’s not functioning/
   reachable)! Any suggestions/solutions??
 * The blog I need help with is _[ redundant link deleted ]_.

 * Errors like this are logged. Check the error log on your server. If you can’t
   find the log, please contact your host.
 * Meantime, enable wp_debug and wp_debug_log and after an error, look at wp-content/
   debug.log to see if anything gets logged there. [https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress](https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress)
 * You can also try this: Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of 
   the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one
   to identify the source of your troubles.
 * If you cannot access wp-admin, there are other ways to [deactivate plugins](https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F).

 * I can’t acces my site at all, so can’t check/deactivate plugins… Besides that
   I update them manually, and didn’t change anything on the website today.
 * And I read through the trouble shooting page already, but didn’t see a solution
   to my white screen issue. I don’t know enough about all the mumbo jumbo behind
   the scenes…
 * I don’t know how to read the error log, but it’s a long list. No idea why or 
   how. Getting a bit desperate now…

 * “_Or reset your plugins folder via FTP or the file manager provided in your host’s
   control panel. This method preserves plugin options but requires plugins be manually
   reactivated._”
 * After resetting my plugin folders I get this:
 * W3 Total Cache Error: some files appear to be missing or out of place. Please
   re-install plugin or remove /home/saudadesdeportugal.nl/public_html/saudadesdeportugal.
   nl/wp-content/advanced-cache.php.

 * If you renamed the entire plugins folder, W3TC leaves some pieces activated. 
   The solution is right in that error message: “lease re-install plugin or remove/
   home/saudadesdeportugal.nl/public_html/saudadesdeportugal.nl/wp-content/advanced-
   cache.php.”

 * But how do I do that if I can’t access my admin panel? Sorry if that is an obvoius
   question (it isn’t for me)…
 * As far as my knowledge goes, I removed what I could. But the website still doesn’t
   work…

 * My hosting re installed a back-up from 2 days ago and the website seems to be
   working now. I disabled the W3TC plugin (just in case).
 * Was this plugin the reason for the problem?? I’ve been using it for years. But
   I don’t want to have this problem again, so…

 * It may have been. Try deleting and reinstalling it.
