Problem with Dashboard after login – nothing is working

@stovensssa I’m sorry to hear that the admin dash panel isn’t working in WordPress. This seems like an issue either with the site permalinks or due to a plugin or theme conflict.

Please attempt to disable all plugins and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles. I’d recommend doing these steps on a non-production website to ensure that the front end of the website isn’t affected by the changes.

To try to flush the permalinks, you’d typically be able to go to wp-admin/options-permalink.php on your site, click ‘save’ and it would refresh the rules and possibly resolve the issue. Since you can’t access that admin section, you may have trouble accessing that functionality. There’s also a WP-CLI command to reset the rewrite rules as well if you have access to run WP-CLI commands on your website.

I hope one of those suggestions can help you pinpoint and resolve the issue.

Thank you for the information. How to run those WP-CLI commands. From where to start and what do I need to have access to cli ?

You’ll likely want to check with your hosting company, as they may or may not provide such access. Information about how to use WP-CLI can be found at https://wp-cli.org/.

One additional method that might be worth trying is the steps outlined at https://www.godaddy.com/help/reset-wordpress-permalinks-in-the-database-26352. You’ll want to backup your database before making changes just in case it causes issues (and, better yet, test on a local or staging environment). The steps outline how to clear the permalinks to use the default permalink structure.

I hope that helps.
