 * Hello, my site is still on local-host so im unable to share a link. Each time
   i login it either shows up as a blank page with “this page isnt working right
   now” or i get in but see “There has been a critical error on this website. Please
   check your site admin email inbox for instructions. Learn more about troubleshooting
   WordPress” written in the dashboard section with nothing else. This issue first
   occurred while i was trying to work on my site away from home internet (i was
   using my hotspot), not sure if that has anything to do with it. What could be
   wrong and how do i fix this issue? Thank you for your time!

 * Errors like this are logged. Check the error log on your server. If you can’t
   find the log, please contact your host.
 * Meantime, enable wp_debug and wp_debug_log and after an error, look at wp-content/
   debug.log to see if anything gets logged there. [https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/)
 * You can also try this: Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of 
   the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one
   to identify the source of your troubles.
 * If you cannot access wp-admin, there are other ways to deactivate plugins:  [https://wordpress.org/support/article/faq-troubleshooting/#how-to-deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-the-administrative-menus](https://wordpress.org/support/article/faq-troubleshooting/#how-to-deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-the-administrative-menus)

 * well, you wouldn’t because you have direct access to the file system.

 * As I said, you have direct access to the file system. How are you locally hosting
   this?
