Help please: Can’t access “Edit Posts” and Plugins-list

  • Hi, almost out of the blue i cannot access various areas of the dashboard, namely:
    – Post, Edit
    – Plugins, Installed

    Other parts are still accessible, among them:
    – Edit, New
    – Settings
    – Plugins, Add New (but plugging in that way never worked, i use FTP upload)
    – Categories

    Would you have any helpful ideas? I know there are troublechecker plugins but i cannot activate in the current situation. The blog is here (really only starting, and my WP experience only starting to build up too):
    https://www.hansblog.de

    I have uploaded various plugins, but activated only half of them. Unfortunately, now i cannot access the list of active plugins, so i don’t have exact knowledge what’s active and i cannot deactivate them. I could only remove files and folders via FTP.

    Here’s plugins that i am quite sure are in use:
    – All in one SEO
    – Easy Adsense
    – More Fields
    – Sexy Bookmarks (for Facebook links etc.)
    – Amazon Einzeltitellinks
    – 042-clean-umlauts
    – WP-DB-Backup

    For some days after starting i had no problems, then some plug-ins seemed to bring trouble: I couldn’t access my Dashboard, but had to delete the plugin folders via FTP; after that all was fine again for a while. These brought me trouble:
    – Add Quick Tag
    – Simple Tags
    – Google Sitemap Generator (maybe still activated though)

    I want to add that the areas
    – Appearance, Themes
    – Appearance, Editor
    are not accessible too. So i cannot change theme for testing (anyway, the blog itself is visible, only some controls are gone).

    Would be thankful for any tried and tested hints ??

    I use the newest Firefox, which i have restarted already. I have been using Gears, disabled it for my blog, but that brought no change.

    Do you have any ideas why i can’t access “Edit Posts” and the Plugins-List?

    Thanks a lot!

    Resolved:

    I managed to reset the plug-ins folder via FTP. I still wonder if there is some kind of maintenance mode like in Windows (F8), a command like “use WP without any plug-ins” or “load plug-ins one-by-one”.

    Anyway, i could access the dashboard, but then no areas like “Posts, Edit”. Esp i couldn’t deactivate existing plug-ins.

    So first i FTP-downloaded my whole plug-in folder to hard disk. Then i deleted the plug-ins from the server one by one and tried everytime if things improve – and see, at #3 luckily i had the culprit, with Easy AdSense removed everything worked again. Unfortunately that was one of my best used plug-ins. Maybe it’s a conflict with something else.

    Anyway, thanks for suggesting.

    Generally you do this by FTP or SSH access (go in and rename the plugins folder). Then copy up the plugins one at a time. It’s the reverse of what you did, which is also good ??

    FWIW, even a disabled plugin might leave traces in your database :/ Suckage.
