Thanks for your comprehensive reply. Do you mean this issue was “confusing”?
I used the web host’s automated system.
Renamed plugin folder and then moved all the plugins back into the original plugin folder, except for the Buddy Press plugins. My WP dashboard and website is now accessible again.
Checked the codex compatibility list. This suggests there may have been a conflict between my Expresso event and BuddyPress plugins – another good reason for removing BuddyPress.
Yes, I did go through the theme compatibility test and passed.
I have renamed the the BuddyPress folder to BuddyPress2, using my ftp software. This had no affect either.
It it helps I am using the Creativix theme which is the second most popular after Twenty10, so I thought it should be proven and therefore minimise any technical issues there maybe.
Your suggestion for a check memory allocation plugin is a great one. I shall install one, once I have managed a way back into my Admin dashboard.
Finally you may wish to know that the error code that I see in my host error log is that the fault is happening in a line in the php-db folder.
Thanks for your reply. I understand there is only one copy of the php.ini file. My host installed it for me to adjust the memory value. I am not clear what you are asking. If you are asking whether the php.ini file is in the root directory then the answer is “yes”. There is a line in the script that reads “memory_limit = 128M”. I have taken this figure right up to 4096M and still I cannot open my wp admin dashboard, so is this really a memory issue I wonder?
Should I be looking at another line to tell me that the php.ini file is ” set for script memory”?
