You would need a FTP program like FileZilla, CoreFTP, or CuteFTP. All work well. You would then login using it, if you need login credentials, it’s usually similar to the below:

Host/Site Name: ftp .serviceispower.com(take the space out from ftp and the .)
Username: Usually the same as your hosting login
Password: Usually the same as your hosting login.
Port: 21

Note that your username and password may have to be given to you by your host if you have different logins for that. Once you are logged in, navigate to the wp-content folder and rename the plugins folder to something like plugins.bak so that WordPress doesn’t recognize them anymore.

Also, while you are in the FTP, make sure that the wp-admin folder exists along with your wp-content and wp-includes folder and that there are index.php file exists in the wp-admin directory.

To rename the .htaccess file you will need to find it, usually it is in the root of the WordPress installation.

Let us know if we can help further.

The best thing to do to help us help you is to post a link to the error. Once we have this we can then tell you if it is a WordPress issue or a theme issue.

Put this in the sidebar source file:

<?php
if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’)
|| !dynamic_sidebar() ) :
endif;
?>

Then go to your functions.php file for the theme(if you don’t have it make it). Then put the following:

<?php
if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) )
register_sidebar();
?>

Please note that the <?php and ?> tags denote opening and closing a PHP script. If you have <?php and ?> within themselves, it will cause errors.

First:
Make sure that wp-admin folder exists and all its contents are there.

Second:
Disable all plugins by going to the plugins directory wp-content/plugins and renaming the plugins folder to something like plugins.bak. Then try access the dashboard and see if it lets you in, if it does, then it’s a plugin causing the issue.

Third:
If disabling the plugins directory, try renaming the .htaccess file to something else and see if that helps.

Forth:
If all else fails, contact your host and have them check for Mod Secuirty rules that are being hit(which I doubt very much).

If you have a caching plugin installed, this can cause this issue as I have seen it happen to me. Try disabling all plugins and then see if they update. If it does, activate one plugin at a time until you find the culprit.

Try changing the theme back to the default theme that comes with WordPress. This can be done though your phpMyAdmin under the wp_options table, you want to edit the two entries for the theme(Stylesheet & Template). Then see if you can access the dashboard, if you can, then the Frugal theme is not working properly.

This is because you need to add a / in front of the * on line 2. Like so:

<?php
/*
* @package WordPress
*/
/**
* Tells WordPress to load the
WordPress theme and output it.
*
* @var bool
*/
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
/** Loads the WordPress
Environment and Template */
require_once(‘wordpress/wp-blog-
header.php’)
?>
