The only Way to diagnos that is Enabling Wordpress Debug in wp-config.php and to access your current wordpress try to rename your Plugins folder temporarily to “Plugins\_” in _htdocs/wp-content/plugins_. Once you get to the Wordpress Admin panel go back the Rename Plugin folder back to Original “Plugins” and refresh the page. All plugins should be disabled. After that, One by one Enable the Plugins to detect what plugin caused such error.
