  I got the error suddenly and I didn’t do anything wrong. I just deactivate all the plugins that wordpress is using. Is that the reason ? I don’t know how to solve it. Can someone assist me?

  The error log shows:

  Hello!

  Sorry to hear you are experiencing an error.

  What is the website? Do you know if it is a WordPress.com website or WordPress.org? :)

  It’s AWS Lightsail WordPress Instance.

  Okay! So, that would be a WordPress.org website. This is the forum for WordPress.com websites :)

  AWS Lightsail support is here

  And WordPress.org support is here

  Just a side note as I do work with WordPress.org websites too.. did you take a backup before deactivating all of your plugins? If not, moving forward I recommend taking backups of your website before making any changes and then you can restore it if something goes wrong! Updraft is a good backup plugin.

  I haven’t personally used AWS yet, but perhaps they take regular backups and can restore your website. I would reach out to them first if I were you… even if they don’t have a backup they likely can help with this type of issue! :)
