 * Hi shonev
 * If you have FTP access you can disable a plugin by [renaming the pluginfolder](http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-wp-admin/).

 * Thanks wpaart!
    I tried this previously, but did not help me. I renamed plugin
   folder as well update mySQL table, but did not help.
 * Line 579 which is mentioned above in error is like this:
 *  call_user_func_array($the_[‘function’], array_slice($args, 0, (int) $the_[‘accepted_args’]));
 * Doesn’t mean too much for me because don’t know php.
 * Thanks,
 * Neb

 * Hi shonev
 * The plugin.php file is part of the WordPress core used to process all the installed
   plugins. Although the error is reported in the plugin.php file it is probably
   caused by one of your plugins.
 * You could try to find the culprit by enabling your plugins one by one.

 * If you re-named the plugins folder and still see the error, you may want to try
   [Manually Updating WordPress](https://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress#Manual_Update).
 * If that still doesn’t do the trick, I would suggest manually updating the theme
   you’re using as well to ensure it’s compatible with the latest version of WordPress.
