Our wp-admin area has gone completely inaccessible and is throwing an “Internal Server Error.” I have already tried the usual first aid—disabling all plugins through FTP—but the issue persists. The problem surfaced right after I attempted to clean up some oversized autoload entries in the database tables, so I suspect the root cause may sit somewhere between the database load and core files. Here’s what I need from you: quickly locate the exact source of the 500 error, restore stable access to the admin dashboard, and make sure any corrective changes are documented so this doesn’t happen again. Typical tools for the job might include WP-CLI, phpMyAdmin, error-log analysis, and safe mode plugin isolation; feel free to bring anything else you trust. Acceptance criteria • wp-admin loads normally without 500 errors • Front-end remains fully functional after the fix • A short summary explains what went wrong and which files, tables, or settings were changed If you have a history of rescuing WordPress sites from similar meltdowns, send over a quick note and a couple of examples so I know you’re the one to dive straight in.
