Any advice would be helpful

When going to the login page, I was given only the message “You must log in to access the admin area.” with no login form or links. To solve the problem, I renamed wp-content/plugins/rename-wp-login to “rename-wp-login_old”, then I opened up wp-includes/user.php and went to this line:

do_action_ref_array( ‘wp_authenticate’, array( &$credentials[‘user_login’], &$credentials[‘user_password’] ) );

and commented tha line out and replaced it with the same line without the “&” references:
do_action_ref_array( ‘wp_authenticate’, array( $credentials[‘user_login’], $credentials[‘user_password’] ) );

I was then able to finally see the login form after refresh.

I suspect– since my old server had PHP 5.6 and the new server had PHP 7.0– that the pass by reference using “&” has been depreciated but I have not confirmed that. I just know it works now.

This is sure to happen at some point) on shared hosting plans with limits of 300MB or less per MySQL database. FTP into WP and delete large images, plugins etc. then optimize your database within your hosting package to clean up.
