    Hi Tim,

    Sorry to hear your site has gone down due to a plugin error! Here’s how you can troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

    Step 1: Access Your Site via File Manager or FTP

    • Log in to your hosting control panel and use the File Manager, or connect to your site via FTP using a tool like FileZilla.

    Step 2: Disable the Problematic Plugin

    1. Navigate to the wp-content/plugins directory.
    2. Locate the folder of the plugin causing the error.
    3. Rename the plugin folder (e.g., plugin-name to plugin-name-disabled).
      • This will effectively deactivate the plugin.

    Step 3: Check if Your Site Loads

    • Once the plugin is disabled, refresh your site. If the issue was caused by the plugin, your site should load again.

    Step 4: Identify the Error

    • Enable debugging to get more details on the error:
      1. Edit your wp-config.php file.
      2. Add the following lines:
        define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
        define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);
      3. Reload your site and check the debug log at wp-content/debug.log for details about the error.

    Step 5: Update or Replace the Plugin

    • If an update is available for the plugin, download and install it.
    • If the plugin is incompatible with your current setup, consider finding an alternative plugin or contacting the plugin developer for support.

    Step 6: Re-enable the Plugin

    • Once the issue is resolved, you can rename the plugin folder back to its original name to re-enable it.

    If you need further assistance, please share:

    • The name of the plugin causing the issue.
    • Any error messages you’ve encountered.

    We’re happy to help get your site back up and running!
