I have tried with php.ini file in /wp-admin/ folder by adding with this code "memory_limit = 128M " , but no luck.

Answer 1

After having this problem recently, I tried all the solutions mentioned all over the internet and I got nothing.

You might want to try deactivating your plugins as mentioned Here amongst many other solutions.

Try renaming your theme directory to deactivate it (can be done via FTP)

Try increasing your PHP MEMORY LIMIT

Try fixing your .htaccess file

All these solutions (detailed here) did not work for me.

I checked the server error log and I found that the problem was simply that the directory "wp-admin" was writable by group! So simply changing the permission of that directory from 777 to 755 solved the problem for me!

Hope this helps someone
