 * Hello, I’m running WP 4.2.2 and it seems when I click on plugins tab in WP-ADMIN
   it doesn’t display any of my plugins and instantly the functions of the plugins
   disappear on the site… I have to load a backup of the site from a week or so 
   ago and the entire site works fine until I click the plugins tab in wp-admin…
   It also says in wp-admin at top “his theme recommends the following plugins: 
   Contact Form 7 and Theme Blvd Responsive Google Maps.
 * Begin installing plugins | Dismiss this notice” even though those plugins are
   installed and appear in plugins directory…
 * Nothing has changed with the site… I also run WordFence to prevent intrusion 
   but I’m wondering if site has been compromised?
 * What are my options to resolve the issue?

 * Have you tried deactivating all the plugins? There might be one that’s causing
   havoc with your site. Since you can’t see all the plugins on the Dashboard, you
   will need to use the FTP method, by renaming the plugins folder: [https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F](https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
