Trust us &#8211; recovery mode makes things much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What issues trigger WordPress recovery mode?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The WordPress recovery mode triggers automatically &#8211; it&#8217;s not something that you&#8217;ll manually enable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That might have you wondering what types of errors will trigger recovery mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, it will trigger (<em>or at least try to trigger<\/em>) whenever WordPress detects any code that will break your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This code could come from a faulty plugin or theme that you&#8217;ve installed. Or, if you&#8217;re trying to make custom code edits to your site (<em>maybe via your child theme&#8217;s functions.php file<\/em>), the problematic code could be from your own edits.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does recovery mode do?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With recovery mode, WordPress will do a few things when it detects a fatal error on your site:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It will try to automatically &#8220;pause&#8221; the code that&#8217;s causing problems so that you can still access your backend WordPress dashboard. For example, if the problematic code is in a certain plugin, WordPress will pause that plugin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You&#8217;ll get an email at the email address associated with <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/new-wordpress-admin-user\/\">your administrator account<\/a>. You can use a special link in this email to open your dashboard in recovery mode.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Instead of showing the underlying error on the frontend of your site, WordPress will just show a simple message that says &#8220;There has been a critical error on this website&#8221;.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you still manually fix your site?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While it is a really useful tool for <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wordpress-errors\/\">fixing errors on your site<\/a>, you certainly don&#8217;t need to use it. All of the normal WordPress troubleshooting tips will still work, so it&#8217;s totally possible to fix your site using those methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find that you can&#8217;t access recovery mode for some reason or you just don&#8217;t want to use it, you can follow the tips in our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/fix-white-screen-of-death-in-wordpress\/\">how to fix the WordPress white screen of death<\/a> to fix most\/all of the issues that trigger recovery mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you manually fix your site, it will go back to working even if you don&#8217;t launch recovery mode.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-access\">How to access WordPress recovery mode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If WordPress detects an error in your site&#8217;s code, it will automatically trigger recovery mode. However, you can&#8217;t access recovery mode just by <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/find-wordpress-login-url\/\">going to your WordPress dashboard like you normally would<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, you&#8217;ll need to use a special recovery mode link to access recovery mode. It looks something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>https:\/\/yoursite.com\/wp-login.php?action=enter_recovery_mode&amp;rm_token=KfHPAWSJ&amp;rm_key=s0OG1KyTAdwk0<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When WordPress triggers recovery mode, it should automatically send an email to the email address that you use for your Administrator account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This email will include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Details on the specific error that&#8217;s occurring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A link that you can use to access recovery mode.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image blog-img-std\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-opt-id=1104347675  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1425\" height=\"1108\" src=\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/wordpress-recovery-mode-email.jpg\" alt=\"WordPress recovery mode email\" class=\"wp-image-44748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1388\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/wordpress-recovery-mode-email.jpg 1425w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:300\/h:233\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/wordpress-recovery-mode-email.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1024\/h:796\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/wordpress-recovery-mode-email.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:768\/h:597\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/wordpress-recovery-mode-email.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:50\/h:39\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/wordpress-recovery-mode-email.jpg 50w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:309\/h:240\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/wordpress-recovery-mode-email.jpg 309w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:511\/h:397\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/wordpress-recovery-mode-email.jpg 511w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:772\/h:600\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/wordpress-recovery-mode-email.jpg 772w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:190\/h:148\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/wordpress-recovery-mode-email.jpg 190w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:251\/h:195\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/wordpress-recovery-mode-email.jpg 251w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:174\/h:135\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/wordpress-recovery-mode-email.jpg 174w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1388\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/dpr:2\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/wordpress-recovery-mode-email.jpg 2x\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The link is active for 24 hours from the time that the email was sent.

But first, let&#8217;s talk about a couple of other solutions for accessing WordPress recovery mode if you don&#8217;t receive the email.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manually define recovery mode email<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have access to the email associated with your administrator account for some reason, you can also manually define the email that WordPress should send links to by editing your <strong>wp-config.php<\/strong> file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You can edit this file by connecting to your server via FTP or using something like <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/what-is-cpanel\/\">cPanel File Manager<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add the following code snippet, making sure to replace the example email address with the actual email that you want to use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>define( 'RECOVERY_MODE_EMAIL', 'you@yoursite.com' );<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that if your site is already in recovery mode, WordPress will not send an email to this address right away. You&#8217;d need to wait until the next email for the changes to take effect. Again, WordPress sends recovery emails every 24 hours, so manually updating the email like this probably isn&#8217;t a great solution if your site is already in recovery mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/how-to-become-a-wordpress-developer\/\">you build client sites<\/a>, this could also come in handy as it lets you make sure you receive the emails instead of your client (who might not know what to do with them).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WordPress recovery mode URL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t get the email that WordPress sends you for some reason, some people report that it&#8217;s possible to manually access recovery mode by entering the URL below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>However, this method did not work when I tested it.<\/strong> I&#8217;m including it because other people have suggested it as a solution, but your mileage may vary here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to try it, you can try entering this as the WordPress recovery mode URL:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>https:\/\/yoursite.com\/wp-login.php?action=enter_recovery_mode<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to replace <code>https:\/\/yoursite.com<\/code> with the actual URL of your WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-fix\">How to fix the problem(s) that triggered the error<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you log into your site in recovery mode, you&#8217;ll see the normal WordPress dashboard, but with two additions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You&#8217;ll see a new <strong>Exit Recovery Mode<\/strong> option on the WordPress toolbar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You&#8217;ll see some admin notices that help you understand what&#8217;s going wrong.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>For this example, the admin notice is telling me that something is wrong with one of my plugins &#8211; &#8220;One or more plugins failed to load properly&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This makes sense because I intentionally broke some code in the Hello Dolly plugin!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image

what&#8217;s going wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this specific problem, you would want to go to the <strong>Plugins<\/strong> area. If the problem is in your theme&#8217;s code, you would go to <strong>Appearance \u2192 Themes<\/strong> instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <strong>Plugins<\/strong> area, WordPress will mark the specific plugin that&#8217;s causing problems. It will also provide more information about the error. To fix a problem with the plugin, you have two options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Deactivate<\/strong> &#8211; you can deactivate the plugin to get your site working again. You could then replace it with a different plugin or reach out to the plugin&#8217;s developer for support to fix the problem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Resume<\/strong> &#8211; you can resume the plugin to make it live again. You should only do this if you&#8217;ve gone in and manually fixed the offending code snippet. If you resume the plugin without fixing anything, you&#8217;re just going to trigger the error again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image blog-img-std\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter
