 * Have you tried:
    – deactivating ALL plugins temporarily to see if this resolves
   the problem. If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find
   the problematic plugin(s). If you can’t get into your admin dashboard, try deactivating
   via [FTP or SFTP ](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients)or whatever file management
   application your host provides. If applicable, also remember to deactivate any
   plugins in the mu-plugins folder. The easiest way is to rename that folder to
   mu-plugins-old. – To rule out any theme-specific issue, try switching to the 
   unedited default, core-bundled Theme (such as Twenty Twelve or Twenty Thirteen)
   for a moment using the WP dashboard. If you don’t have access to your admin area,
   you can switch to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in
   wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using via FTP
   or SFTP or whatever file management application your host provides. Alternately,
   you can remove other themes except the default theme. That will force your site
   to use it. – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems (because the hooks remain unless plugins completely removed or some 
   plugins stick around in cached files. So by renaming the folder, you break them
   and force them inactive). – If the above troubleshooting steps fail to resolve
   the issue, try manually re-uploading all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.
   php file and the /wp-content/ directory from a fresh download of WordPress. Make
   sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new
   ones. Read the [Manual Update ](http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update)
   directions first! – **Always backup everything (including your database) before
   doing any actions, just in case.**
