 * `Errors like this are logged. Check the error log on your server. If you can’t
   find the log, please contact your host. Meantime, enable wp_debug and wp_debug_log
   and after an error, look at wp-content/debug.log to see if anything gets logged
   there. [https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/)
 * You can also try disabling plugin/theme:
    – Try <a href=”[https://wordpress.org/support/article/faq-troubleshooting/#how-to-deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-the-administrative-menus”>manually](https://wordpress.org/support/article/faq-troubleshooting/#how-to-deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-the-administrative-menus”>manually)
   resetting your plugins</a> (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 <a href=”[https://wordpress.org/support/article/ftp-clients/”>SFTP](https://wordpress.org/support/article/ftp-clients/”>SFTP)
   or FTP</a>, 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).
