    I was updating my plugins and received the following, “There has been a critical error on your website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions. Learn more about debugging in WordPress.”

    I have not received instructions in my admin email inbox. Please help because I can no longer log in to my website nor can other view my website.

    Try manually resetting your plugins (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 SFTP or FTP, 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).
