    I have recently updated all of the plugins, theme and WordPress on my site to the latest versions. Everything on the front end of the website works like a charm. However, I several issues having to do with WordPress Admin.

    1. When trying to log in to WordPress Admin, I am redirected to a 404 error page. However, I can go back to the URL, remove the login.php and enter wp-admin and gain access to the WordPress Admin. I have done all sorts of troubleshooting from making changes to the wp-config and functions.php files, accessing my database through myphypadmin and checking the URL for site and home (which leads to another issue. Tried flushing my .htaccess file by re-saving permalinks (which also leads to another issue. I have also contacted my host for support and they were able to access through the login with no issues or redirects.

    2. My site URL and home URL are grayed out and cannot be changed through WordPress admin.

    3. I cannot change my permalinks as well.

    In addition to the troubleshooting listed above. I have tried changing my theme and renaming the plugins directory to see if that resolved the issue and had no luck — everything has remained the same.

    If anyone has any ideas, input would be greatly appreciated.

    I installed the wrong plugin so it did not have debug information. So I installed the other plugin that did and I cannot access the site on Chrome, but it is coming up on Microsoft Edge with no problem.

    I had to clear my cache. I am going to try to install the plugin again and see if I can get it to work now.

    That particular health check plugin will not work on my website. It crashes everytime I try to check a plugin.

    Well, I am closing this topic. I really spent time last night early morning and figured out my issues. I had an old staging website which left a few references to files in my database that I need to get rid of. I began removing a few at a time to make sure nothing was affected on the front and back end of the website. The login page issue was resolved and the site and home URLs started working again. Now I just have to resolve the permalinks issue. Steve thank you for all of your assistance with this. I appreciate it more than you know.
