Wamp Server Online – "This page can't be reached" in every browser

    Hello

    I can browse to localhost. I see my website under, Your Projects.

    When I click on my website, I get, “this page can’t be reached”.

    I did not have this problem at first. In fact, I can reach the back and front-end of my site once or twice in a day. Suddenly it will stop working. Tonight I was able to make a few changes. When I reloaded the front-end, suddenly I got, “this page can’t be reached” again.

    It was working fine on Sunday. It was working at a WordPress course I attended. Since Sunday, I downloaded a few plug-ins. However, it was working last night for about a hour before this problem started and persists.

    Currently I can’t browse to the front or back of my site but can resolve to localhost Wamp page.

    For noting, I really don’t know what version of WordPress I am using. Everyone in my class is working fine and does not have this problem

    Hi,

    You could slowly try removing the plugins you downloaded one by one and testing to see if the issue goes away. That way you may figure out which plugin is the problematic one. Once you know which plugin causes the issue, check the compatibility with your version of WordPress and see if there are any known issues. If not then try contacting the author of the plugin.

    If disabling plugins don’t resolve the issue then this may not be related to the installed plugins and we may need another approach. But first I think it is worth trying to disable the plugins.

    Thanks Tanveer (Tsure).

    The thing is, how do I remove plugins if I can’t access the Dashboard? I can’t get the WP login screen. Is there a way to do this via PHPMyAdmin ? Or is there an easier way ?

    I recall the problem became worse while loading images to a slider on the home page. Looking in my wp-content folder, I notice each image is duplicating like 30 times. Perhaps to fit to the full size of the page ? Not sure.

    I would like to first remove the image slider and then remove 1 or 2 other plugins I added on Monday.

    How do I go about doing this ?

    Hi Nat777,

    Since we are unsure about the images at this point, lets tackle the plugins one by one installation issue. There is a manual way you can remove plugins by FTP’ing into the website and deleting it there from the plugins folder. This should do the trick for you.

    I am hoping you have FTP access. Also if possible share a screenshot of what you see so that its easier for us rather than imagining something which may not even be the case.

    If you can access your file interface (gui or command line), you can go to the plugins folder and rename them. So if the plugin folder is ‘example-plugin’, maybe rename it to ‘example-plugin-hold’ so it does not work.

    Or you could move the plugin folder to another folder. Maybe move the ‘example-plugin’ folder from the ‘plugins’ folder to a ‘hold’ folder that you created.
