Have you tried:
– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
– switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
What version of WordPress are you currently running?

Ver 4.6.1 Happened right after I updated.
How do I reset from FTP? Just copy something new in from FPT?

Hi! Thank you for writing to the forums.
esmi’s resetting the plugins folder has some instructions — 4-step instructions on how to reset the plugins via FTP.
Sometimes when WordPress becomes updated, a plugin suddenly becomes broken. I think of this not as the update having broken anything, but rather as the plugin having failed to be prepared for the coming of the WP update — having failed to “Keep up with the times”.
In any case, I agree its a good idea as a first-step troubleshooting, to reset the plugins. If, with the plugins disabled, the site works good, then, start enabling them one-at-a-time and testing after each one, to see whether one particular plugin is the culprit.
Will you let us know how you go?
