    Thanks. I got back in my site after putting the original htaccess file back in and am now going to make a new admin user as suggested.

    I am a complete novice but I am trying to learn. I can’t even figure out how someone got my username but I suspect they must have accessed my files in wordpress so I also added index.php files where others suggested to keep people from poking around.

    Thank you so much. I went through the plugins one at a time via ftp and found the one interfering – broken links checker. As soon as I disabled it I could login again to the dashboard. Then made it active and the problem reappeared. Once disabled again I was back in.

    After thinking about what you had to say I remember a few times earlier getting 500 errors that resolved themselves the next time I tried logging in and just wrote those occasions off as my server burping.

    I’ve learned my lesson. When weird stuff starts happening look at the plugins first.

    Again, your help is much appreciated.

    OK, I tried logging in with the wp-admin link but still get a 500 error. I am new at this so maybe you could answer a basic question: When I install or update a plugin does it change any other part of wordpress or just the plugin folder itself?

    While certainly I could have a problem “somewhere else” I think it is most likely that the plugin caused it because it happened immediately after I had updated updraftplus.

    If plugins do not change anything other than the plugin folder then I want to try disabling all my plugins via ftp and see if that works before trying to restore my entire site.

    renamed the updraft directory to “disabledupdraftplus” and now I cannot even login, just get a 500 error.

    I have updates on dropbox. Can I just erase the entire contents of the plugin folder and then unzip the plugins.zip file there to see if it gets back to normal or do I have to reinstall wordpress from the beginning?
