How to Recover from ‘The Site Is Experiencing Technical Difficulties’

HOW TO RECOVER FROM THE ERROR MESSAGE  ‘THE SITE IS EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES.

How to recover from The white screen of Death “The site is experiencing Technical Difficulties”  Or you may see this error message instead: ‘There has been a critical error on this website.’

I’ll cover the most common methods, and the first is the simplest method that, I know to resolve this WordPress issue fairly quickly, as long as you received an email about the error.  From my experience, this issue is typically caused by a faulty or conflicting plugin issue. I will explain here in detail, how to fix this issue by using an FTP client such as FileZilla.

STEPS TO RECOVER

Launch FileZilla & click on File Site manager. Next, click on the new site and enter the hostname, username, and password.

Select the correct Protocol FTP or SFT and, enter the port number too (usually the port number is 22).  Finally, click on Connect.  Next, Browse to wp-content and, located the folder called “plugins” right click on this folder and, rename this folder to something like “pluginsold”, for instance.

Your site should now be stable enough for you to log in to it. Go back to your website and log in to your wp-admin dashboard.   Next, go back to FileZilla and rename the folder name back to “plugins”. (Be sure that, you are logged in to your website Dashboard before you rename the file name back to plugin or this fix won’t work)
