Try manually resetting your plugins (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, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, 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).
Thank you sir for your kind reply but still it is not working…
What should I do…pls reply
Try downloading WordPress again, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, and delete then replace your copies of everything on the server 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.
Thank you sir…my site is started working
Now again the problem is that I can’t access the wp-admin area… it is showing that database update is required ….so pls suggest what to do next…
Did you click the button to update the database?
No sir, I didn’t click and actually waiting for your kind suggestion….
Ok, yes you have to click that button, that’s what it’s telling you to do. 🙂
Thank you very much sir for your kind help. Now my website is started working again. in last, the dashboard is showing update as
<If you need to re-install version 4.5.2, you can do so here or download the package and re-install manually:>
but I have already using the version 4.5.2. so is it necessary to to it.
If everything is working, then you don’t need to reinstall.
Sir, I need to know that.. is it possible to change the theme of website without affecting anything… kindly reply
Yes, just add the new theme via Appearance -> Themes -> Add New, and activate it. You’ll be able to safely activate the old theme if anything goes wrong.
For future separate question, please open a new thread next time. 🙂
