using bluehost by the way. and im not sure what im suppose to do to use my backup file to restore the entire site.
You didn’t say which plugin is causing the error message, or show the error message itself. I’m assuming you think it’s BuddyPress.
Go into FTP, and go into your wp-content/plugins/ directory. Rename the BuddyPress folder to something else, then visit the admin pages of your site.
I’m assuming it’s the buddypress plugin that caused it because it happened right after i upgraded to 1.5.1 in dashboard.
ok i just renamed the buddypress folder in wp-content/plugins via cpanel file manager. still cant access my wp-admin
bump for more help please. happy halloween too!
Then it might not be the BuddyPress plugin causing the problem. Access your web server’s error log, and tell us what the error is. If you’re unable / don’t know how to do this, ask your web host for support.

im thinking it might have to do with the unified global search plugin that i got from buddydev.com
yep i was right, i removed the codes within my childtheme functions.php that coded for the global search and everything is back up now. thanks for pointing me to the error log paul!
