 * Hi there, with the information provided you should try out a few things:

 * Thank you so much. I logged on via the control panel and i navigated to wp-content/
   plugins, I rename the folder “plugins” to “plugins.hold”. Then I renamed “plugins.
   hold” back to “plugins” then boom it worked.thank you [@flashbash](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flashbash/).
