 * Hello, I need help with my wordpress site. My last login was on the 23rd of September.
   I tried to login today and I get an error message : “There has been a critical
   error on this website.” I need help with resolving this issue and I would like
   to know the cause.

 * The reason for the error should be visible in the error log. You can find it 
   in your hosting area. If necessary, the support of your hosting can help you.
 * Alternatively, you could also enable debugging in WordPress. How to do this is
   described here: [https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/)–
   also here the support of your hosting can help you if necessary to edit the file
   accordingly.
 * In both cases you should be able to see what the cause is in the logfile. Often
   it is a plugin. You can delete the directory of the guilty plugin via FTP. After
   that you should be able to access it again.
