 * My website recently auto-upgraded to latest version of wrodpress (and PHP) and
   now I get a whole bunch of warning errors. it appears to be related to a pblugin
   which I’d try to turn off if I could but I can’t seem to access my admin page
   either. This is the warning I get.

 * if you’ve got access to the server cpanel, go into the file manager and rename
   the plugins folder to get access to your site again. if you want to get rid of
   the offending plugin then you can delete it from the server cpanel.

 * Thanks very much for this. Remember to change the name of the plug-ins folder
   and not the name of the plug-in folder.
 * I found that the reason why my site wasn’t working was because there were numerous
   plug-in updates that I hadn’t installed. After changing the name of the folder,
   I updated them, then changed the name back and now it works.
 * Thanks.
