 * Hi!
 * I am trying to access wp_admin but suddenly started getting this message:
 * “There has been a critical error on your website. Please check your site admin
   email inbox for instructions.
 * Learn more about debugging in WordPress.”
 * We have not access to the site admin email inbox.
 * I have tried a few things:
 * I have reinstalled wordpress core software via ftp (FileZilla) (did not help)
   
   I have then in turn, deleted every plugin to see which one could be the problem(
   did not help either)
 * Please help 🙂
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcan-not-access-wp_admin%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello,
 * Accessing the admin url shared by you shows me a login form without any error
   message. It might be a temporary error from server.

 * Ok, thanks, but it has lasted for three weeks now and we kind of need to access
   wp_admin. Should I just wait and see then?

 * Hi, you need to follow this debugging process:
 * > [Debugging in WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/)
 * 
    Enable a debug log to see if some information about the error will appear, 
   you can also check your server error log for information about Fatal Errors (
   not Warnings).

 * Hi Olga, thanks, do you mean that I try to do this?:
 * The following code, inserted in your wp-config.php file, will log all errors,
   notices, and warnings to a file called debug.log in the wp-content directory.
   It will also hide the errors so they do not interrupt page generation.

 * Yes…. you need to get an exact error message with information about the place
   where it’s happening, you need to enable log in WordPress but also can look at
   your ordinary server logs.

 * Thanks again. I have now updated the wp-config.php file, but I am not able to
   localize my debug.log. Will it just “pop up” or do I have to do something to 
   make this happen?

 * You need to enable it firstly:
    [https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/#wp_debug_log](https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/#wp_debug_log)
   in your ‘wp-config.php’, like this: `define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );` and it 
   will be in your site’s folder: ‘/wp-content/debug.log’
