You may find an error that not allow you to see your WordPress blog after install some plugins, upgrade your WordPress theme, or after upgrading to newest version of WordPress. I experienced it once back then after upgrade this blogging tips blog to new version of WordPress ( I forget to what version exactly). I remember that I find fatal error message when try to browse this blog after that upgrading. It is surely a big set back if we do not resolve it as fast as possible.
It may lead to long set back if it is remain in long term. So here I share the solution for it so you can solve it fast if face this problem.
Here the error message:
