Can’t Login to Admin

    I go to my admin url and it gives me the login option. When I put in my password, it then gives me a page that says the file could not be found.

    Since I logged in, I manually try going to various pages that are in that folder, but I get 404 error each time.

    Ideas?

    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).

    Thank you for the quick reply. I just renamed my plugins folder to plugins.hold.

    How when I try to login to the admin, it does not give me the option for logging in, it simply says “Forbidden”. I cleared my cache, but I get the same thing.

    Ideas?

    OK, renaming the .htaccess file got me past the 403 error. Now I will work on the rest.

    Let you know what happens.
