  • Hi @lydiapack,

    You will need to deactivate Shield Security plugin manually from cPanel or using FTP:

    I- Method one using cPanel (if it is used by your host):

    – Login to your cPanel. (ask your host if you do not have the login credentials)
    – Click the File Manager in the Files section.
    – Navigate to your WordPress installation folder, and open the wp-content folder.
    – Right-click the plugins folder,
    – Then select Rename.
    – Change to “Shield Security-old” for example then click the Rename File button.

    This is a video that may guide you better as he shows you everything

    II- Method two, using FTP:

    – Download and install FTP client (for example, Filezilla).
    – Open FTP client and enter your FTP access credentials (host, username and password) to access files on your server.
    – Navigate to ‘yourwordpresswebsite/wp-content/plugins’ directory.
    – Disable Shield Security plugin by renaming its folder.

    This is a video that explains how to disable/ deactivate plugin using FTP/Filezilla

    Finally, after deactivating the plugin with method one or two try to login and check the result.

    Let me know if this helps
