But what if you can&#8217;t get into the wp-admin part of your site?<\/p>\n<p>This article will explain how to turn off all your WordPress plugins when you can&#8217;t reach the wp-admin area.<\/p>\n<p>There are two common ways to turn off plugins without entering your WordPress site&#8217;s admin section. You can pick the way that seems simpler to you.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ack-ul\">\n<li><a class=\"ack-link-color\" href=\"#mathod_a\" rel=\"noopener\">Method A: Turn Off All WordPress Plugins Using FTP<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"ack-link-color\" href=\"#mathod_b\" rel=\"noopener\">Method B: Turn Off All Plugins Using phpMyAdmin<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Both choices are simple to use, but it&#8217;s highly recommended to back up your WordPress main files and database. First Let&#8217;s Start with<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mathod_a\" class=\"ack-h2\">Method A: Turning Off All WordPress Plugins Using FTP<\/h2>\n<p>You&#8217;ll need either an FTP tool or the file manager app in your WordPress hosting control panel to do this.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve never used FTP before, you might want to check out our guide on <a class=\"ack-link-color\" href=\"https:\/\/manage.accuwebhosting.com\/knowledgebase\/3858\/How-to-Use-Secure-FTP-on-Accuweb-WindowsorLinux-Shared-Hosting.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how to use FTP<\/a> to put files on your WordPress site.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/WordPress-Plugins-Using-FTP.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"ack-article-image aligncenter wp-image-36006 size-full\" title=\"WordPress Plugins Using FTP\" src=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/WordPress-Plugins-Using-FTP.png\" alt=\"WordPress Plugins Using FTP\" width=\"896\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/WordPress-Plugins-Using-FTP.png 896w, https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/WordPress-Plugins-Using-FTP-300x144.png 300w, https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/WordPress-Plugins-Using-FTP-768x369.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 896px) 100vw, 896px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>First, connect to your website using an FTP tool or the file manager in cPanel.

This is where WordPress keeps all the plugins you&#8217;ve added to your website.<\/p>\n<p>You need to right-click the plugins folder and select <strong>\u2018Rename\u2019<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Next, change the name of the folder to anything that you like. In our example, we will call it<strong>&#8220;plugins.backup&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/plugins.backup.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ack-article-image aligncenter wp-image-36008 size-full\" title=\"chnage file name\" src=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/plugins.backup.png\" alt=\"chnage file name\" width=\"1048\" height=\"328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/plugins.backup.png 1048w, https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/plugins.backup-300x94.png 300w, https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/plugins.backup-1024x320.png 1024w, https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/plugins.backup-768x240.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1048px) 100vw, 1048px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When you do this, all your plugins will be turned off.<\/p>\n<p>This happens because WordPress checks for a folder named<strong> &#8216;plugins&#8217;<\/strong> to find the plugin files. If it can&#8217;t find the folder, it will automatically turn off the active plugins in the database.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, people use this method when they can&#8217;t get into their admin area. If your plugins caused the problem, you can log in to your WordPress admin area now.<\/p>\n<p>If you go to the <strong>&#8216;Plugins&#8217;<\/strong> and then the <strong>&#8216;Installed Plugins&#8217;<\/strong> page in the WordPress admin area, you&#8217;ll see messages telling you all your plugins have been turned off.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Installed-Plugins.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"ack-article-image aligncenter wp-image-36009 size-full\" title=\"Installed plugins page\" src=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Installed-Plugins.png\" alt=\"Installed plugins page\" width=\"917\" height=\"304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Installed-Plugins.png 917w, https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Installed-Plugins-300x99.png 300w, https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Installed-Plugins-768x255.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 917px) 100vw, 917px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You might notice that all your plugins have vanished, but don&#8217;t worry; they&#8217;re safe, and you can bring them back.<\/p>\n<p>Go to your FTP tool and find the <strong>\/wp-content\/<\/strong> folder. Then, change the folder name called <strong>&#8220;plugins.backup&#8221;<\/strong>back to <strong>&#8220;plugins.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Afterward, you can return to the <strong>&#8216;Plugins&#8217;<\/strong> and <strong>&#8216;Installed Plugins&#8217;<\/strong> pages in your WordPress admin area. Start turning on one plugin at a time until your website has problems again.<\/p>\n<p>When this happens, you&#8217;ll know exactly which plugin is causing the issue.
