Avete bisogno di disattivare tutti i plugin di WordPress, ma non riuscite ad accedere all’area di amministrazione di WordPress?
Durante la risoluzione dei problemi di WordPress, vi verrà spesso consigliato di disattivare tutti i plugin e poi riattivarli uno per uno. Ma cosa succede se non riuscite ad accedere a wp-admin per disattivarli?
In questo articolo vi mostreremo come disattivare facilmente tutti i plugin di WordPress quando non potete accedere all’area wp-admin.
Video tutorial
Se preferite le istruzioni scritte o volete procedere al vostro ritmo, continuate a leggere le istruzioni qui sotto.
Esistono due metodi comunemente utilizzati per disattivare i plugin senza accedere all’area di amministrazione del vostro sito WordPress. Potete scegliere il metodo che vi sembra più semplice:
Metodo 1: Disattivare tutti i plugin di WordPress tramite FTP
Per questo metodo, dovrete utilizzare un client FTP o l’applicazione di gestione dei file nel vostro pannello di controllo dell’hosting WordPress.
Se non avete mai usato l’FTP, potete consultare la nostra guida su come usare l’FTP per caricare i file su WordPress.
Per prima cosa, è necessario collegarsi al proprio sito web utilizzando un client FTP o il file manager di cPanel. Una volta collegati, è necessario navigare nella cartella /wp-content/.
All’interno della cartella wp-content, si trova una cartella chiamata plugins. È qui che WordPress memorizza tutti i plugin installati sul vostro sito web.
È necessario fare clic con il tasto destro del mouse sulla cartella dei plugin e selezionare “Rinomina”.
Quindi, cambiare il nome della cartella con quello che si preferisce. Nel nostro esempio, la chiameremo plugin.deactivated.
Una volta eseguita questa operazione, tutti i plugin saranno disattivati.
Questo perché WordPress cerca una cartella chiamata “plugins” per caricare i file dei plugin. Quando non trova la cartella, disabilita automaticamente i plugin attivi nel database.
Di solito, questo metodo viene utilizzato quando si è bloccati dall’area di amministrazione. Se il problema riguarda i plugin, dovreste essere in grado di accedere all’area di amministrazione di WordPress.
Se visitate la pagina Plugin ” Plugin installati all’interno dell’area di amministrazione di WordPress, vedrete le notifiche per tutti i plugin che sono stati disattivati.
Si noterà anche che tutti i plugin sono scomparsi. Non preoccupatevi: sono tutti al sicuro e potete facilmente ripristinarli.
Passare nuovamente al client FTP e andare alla cartella /wp-content/. Da qui, è necessario rinominare la cartella plugin.deactivated in plugins.
A questo punto, potete tornare alla pagina Plugin ” Plugin installati all’interno dell’area di amministrazione di WordPress e attivare un plugin alla volta finché il sito non si rompe di nuovo.
A questo punto, si saprà esattamente quale plugin ha causato il problema. È quindi possibile eliminare la cartella del plugin dal sito tramite FTP o chiedere assistenza all’autore del plugin.
Metodo 2: Disattivare tutti i plugin con phpMyAdmin
Il metodo FTP è sicuramente più semplice, a nostro avviso. Tuttavia, potete anche disattivare tutti i plugin di WordPress utilizzando phpMyAdmin.
Importante: prima di qualsiasi operazione, eseguire un backup completo del database. Questo vi tornerà utile se qualcosa dovesse andare storto.
Successivamente, dovrete accedere al vostro cruscotto di web hosting. In questo esempio, vi mostriamo il cruscotto di cPanel. Il cruscotto del vostro account di hosting potrebbe avere un aspetto diverso.
È necessario fare clic sull’icona “phpMyAdmin” sotto la sezione Database.
In questo modo si avvia phpMyAdmin in una nuova finestra del browser.
È necessario selezionare il database di WordPress, se non è già stato selezionato. Dopodiché, sarà possibile visualizzare le tabelle del database di WordPress.
Come si può vedere, tutte le tabelle del database hanno il prefisso wp_ prima del nome della tabella. Le vostre tabelle potrebbero avere un prefisso diverso.
È necessario fare clic sulla tabella wp_options. All’interno della tabella wp_options, si vedranno righe di opzioni diverse. Trovate l’opzione “active_plugins” e cliccate sul link “Modifica” accanto ad essa.
Nella schermata successiva, è necessario modificare il campo option_value in a:0:{}.
Quindi, fare clic sul pulsante “Vai” per salvare le modifiche.
Avete disattivato con successo tutti i plugin di WordPress utilizzando phpMyAdmin. Se un plugin vi impediva di accedere all’amministrazione di WordPress, ora dovreste essere in grado di accedere.

I am really thankful that you posted this article. I had no idea how to fix the problem and in my case it was a plugin. Thank you!!!!
Robb Dearth says
I usually don’t comment on posts like this, and I know this post is insanely old (by today’s standards) but I just wanted to thank you for this quick fix. I was able to access the /plugins folder via Media Temple’s file manager, change the folder name, and target the problem plugin… THANK YOU!!!
Cindy says
I could not get into my blog at all to edit anything. I followed your directions on deleting a plug-in. That fixed it. Thank you for the info and for explaining it in a way that is easy to understand!!
WPBeginner Support says
Thanks, glad you found it helpful.

ssh:
debian@otherland:*/wp-content/plugins$ sudo chown root:root menu-icons/
debian@otherland:*/wp-content/plugins$ sudo chmod -R 700 ./menu-icons/
debian@otherland:*/wp-content/plugins$
then I reloaded “tab with server error 500” and it said to me something like plugin deactivated …files not found.
Brian H says
Try clearing your cookies and cache, then see if you can get into the admin panel/dashboard
Lesley Parolis says
Thanks very much. It was really helpful. Deactivating the plugins solved the problem. There was one plugin which was causing the white out.
Richard says
Hi. I’ve renamed the plugin folder to plugin.deactivate but still have the white screen. I was so hoping I could fix my problem as quickly and easily as other have but not as yet. Any other suggestions? Many thanks.
WPBeginner Support says
Switch to a default theme. You can also try deleting your .htaccess file.
Admin
Dwayne says
Nice article. If you know which plugin is causing the problem, can you disable just that plugin from the DB?
Sue Cloutier says
Yes…in the your file manager. Just did it successfully-no white death screen
brian h says
You can actually do this with the theme directory as well. This is what I had to do as I had both issues, plugins behaving poorly AND a theme issue that locked me out.
Renamed themes to themes.deactivate and it let me back in to theme management which was keeping me from going any further than dashboard PERIOD.
Once in there it told me what theme caused the issue in detail but I still had to recreate a new directory called “themes” and copy the good themes over to it before it would let me activate a new theme!
Hope this sheds some light on possible additional errors

Teejax says
Hi,
Thanks for the good job.
I run WordPress on a self-hosted IIS via virtual machine.
Unfortunately I could not rename my plugins folder, I kept getting “folder in use”
What do I do?
Thanks in advance.
John Wiley says
Turn off the World Wide Web Publishing Service while you rename the folder. IIS is reading and locking that folder open.

I know my white screen came from a bad plugin and everything went sideways when I tried to uninstall it from wp-admin. Now I’m getting the white screen and the plugin is not showing up in my cPanel….what now?
Squalle says
Huge help for me this morning! I hadn’t been on my admin panel in a few days. I open it up and selected all the plugin updates and updated them all at once… big mistake. Got the WSOD and started freaking out. lol
Then I found this article which helped immensely! Worked like a charm. I found the bad plugin and deleted it.
Thanks for the great article!
Muhammad Awais Sarwar says
I have a same problem. I can open dashboard of wordpress and also home page. But when I open any other page it says This webpage has a redirect loop
ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
I remmber I only delete 2 plugins. I didn’t any update. But it remains. Kindly guide me.
WPBeginner Support says
If you have tried deactivating all your WordPress plugins, then try this.
Connect to your website using an FTP client. In the root directory you will find a .htaccess file. Download it to your computer. Delete the original file from your website. Visit your site’s admin area and go to Settings » Permalinks. Do not change any settings on the page, just click on the save changes button. Check your website to see if the error has resolved.
Admin
Muhammad Awais Sarwar says
Thank you for you kind reply.
I solved the problem last night after post here.
”
This is the solution and how to fix it:
In our wp-config.php, we overwrite the given server-variables that cause the problem by adding this below your database-configuration in wp-config:
if(isset($_SERVER[‘HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR’])) {
$list = explode(‘,’,$_SERVER[‘HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR’]);
$_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’] = $list[0];
}
$_SERVER[ ‘SERVER_ADDR’ ] = DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE;
$_SERVER[ ‘REMOTE_ADDR’ ] = DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE;
$_SERVER[ ‘HTTP_HOST’ ] = DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE;
”
I saw this link.
You all can visit it. Thank God, I was trying for three days. Thank you all of you.
Martin Fuller says
Hi, I ran into this problem today. I knew the name of the plugin causing the problem and engaged a consultant.
He had access to my cPanel. Somhow he was able to deactivate the problem plugin but would not tell me how he did it.
Do you have any idea how he might have done it?
WPBeginner Support says
Please see the article above, it has full instructions.

Elaine says
Thank you. I installed a bad plug-in updated and got the white screen of death. Your clear explanation helped me restore the correct plug-ins and regain access to my site.
Rhyauna says
I followed all of the steps and was able to deactivate my plugins, but when I tried to activate them again, it gave me a white screen. Not sure whats going on. Please help
WPBeginner Support says
You can rename the plugin folder to deactivate all plugins again. Create a new plugins folder under /wp-content/ and then download and install fresh copies of all your plugins.
Admin
Daniel says
Thanks a bunch, this worked directly. Was afraid it would not work.
MagK says
When I got the “white screen of death”, I did not even panic for a minute and instead went straight to your site, I knew I would find a solution here.
Thank you very much for all the advice and resources you make available.

OMG! You saved my day, I had installed a security plugin that only allowed me to login from a specific IP address and I could not log in through FTF, thank you for the php access instructions!
Saurabh Gupta says
Brilliant writeup, simple and easy. Our environmental blog Earth5R had this critical problem where authors and admin could not log it, applied this solution and it worked like magic. There was one of the few unnecessary plugins that was causing the problem. That also bring a lesson, keep only the most necessary plugin! Thanks a lot, that was such a time save.
Femke says
Help! I am in the FTP file, but I really don’t know how to change te name of the folder..

Thank you very much for this useful post!
Jonathan says
Thanks! I could get to my wordpress site, but not into the admin area. I got a fatal error because of a cache plugin. I did this to get it to the admin, deleted and reinstalled the plugin, and it’s working fine.
Paul says
Thanks – saved hours of rework!
Yarina says
None of this worked for me… but then I switched to Internet Explorer and now I can access my wp dashboard. The site has always been live. Any ideas of what could be causing the issue in Chrome?
Chris says
Thank you. Problem was a bad plugin upgrade. Using FTP and changing plugin directory name, instantly gave back my ability to get to the wp-login page, then change the plugin directory back again via FTP allowed me to re-activate plugins in turn, thereby identifying the dodgy plugin easily. This was incredibly helpful and resolved my problem. Thanks you.
lynn Page says
if you know how to fix this i need help
Ron Blake says
Great article. Thank you! Bad plug-in and using the plugin.deactivate rename was a lot easier than trying to do it through the admin panel.

If you’re running WP-CLI, you can also do this by running:
wp plugin deactivate –all
Crystal Foth says
Thanks – just saved me. Should have deactivated plugins before theme switch!
flafin says
Great post, thank you!
I got an Internal Server Error while trying to add tracking code to my functions.php file through the editor on WP. After getting the error I removed the code from the file, which should have fixed it, but I still had the error. I opened the file manager in my hosting account and navigated to the functions.php file. When I opened it the code that caused the error was still in the file. Once I removed the code the error went away. Hope this helps.
anticrap says
amazing. i’m a complete novice at all of this and you made it so easy to sort out this problem. thank you so much
