Some Users Can't Access Wp-Admin

    It happened very suddenly, and I’m not aware of any updates which were made just prior to this happening, but at least one user (me) cannot access wp-admin, while other users can.

    I recieve this message:

    Internal Server Error

    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

    Please contact the server administrator, cgiadmin@yourhostingaccount.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

    More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

    Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    I’ve tried the following: 1) reset the .htaccess file 2) disable all plugins and reactivate one-by-one 3) disabling themes, none of which have resolved the problem.

    I’m at a loss, so any help gratefully appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Have you looked at the server error logs – which will give you some more info about what’s causing that error?

    (Ask your hosting company how to access those if you don’t know.)

    Could be permission issue.
    Need to check logs as suggested by WPyogi.

    Thanks for your help. The issue is now resolved.

    I used the WP debug and it threw out an error message. I sent it to the web host. I’ll post their response here in case it helps anyone.

    ERROR MESSAGE:

    Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /hermes/bosnaweb08a/b754/ipg.[username]/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3245

    RESPONSE:

    Please take the backup of the website and database tables and re-install the latest version of the WordPress. The message “initialized without using $wp->init()” comes if the app is running outdated wp files/plugins etc.

    I resolved it by getting another admin to create a new user account for me. I went in deleted my old account and then recreated it. Also took the time to remove unused plugins and themes. Problem solved.
