Hey JMac,
You can login through FTP then edit the wp-config.php file and find the line: define( 'WP_DEBUG', false );
. Set it to true
then save the file. Log back in the admin area and you should be able to see some more error information when you redo the steps you are having issues with.
If you are getting an error message that suggests: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of xxxxx bytes exhausted
, it means that you need to have the PHP memory limit of your site increased.
To do this, please edit your wp-config.php file and insert these lines:
define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );
define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '512M' );
You can add it before the line
/*That's all, stop editing! Happy Blogging. */
In case the issue persists, please try to get in touch with your hosting provider and confirm to them that your PHP memory limit is increased.
If you are still having an issue, please provide us with the FTP details as well so that we can check further.
Hope this helps.
