 * You’ll need access the the **webhosting account** for the website you are working
   with- once you are inside the webhosting account you can temporarily deactivate
   all plugins by renaming the PLUGINS directory to something like plugins-dol. 
   in the webhosting account, look for the file manager area and the WP-Content 
   directory.
 * Deactivating all plugins is a good first step to try to gain access to the normal
   area you work in WP-Admin and do further troubleshooting about plugin(s) that
   might not be working for you.

 * I’m not sure to understand very well. I’m sorry, I’m French 🙂
   I changed the 
   name of my plugin directory and it doesn’t work. Maybe I did something wrong !

   folder ex. twenty twenty theme
