plugins.php redirects to homepage (2 posts)

    I used to get an INTERNAL ERROR when clicking on PLUGINS tab in the admin section (plugins.php) trying to activate/deactivate different plugins. I searched the forums and it seems like there was something about the .htaccess file. Edited it with:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    and file permission 644.
    Now plugins.php redirects to home page (from admin section to homepage website view) without any error.

    Can u help?

    Start by deleting that .htaccess file. Then try:

    - switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems

    - resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    - re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress.
