WordPress not replacing missing folders

[ad_1]

I recently updated WordPress, to find that my site no longer worked – giving me the 502: Bad Gateway error. After looking online, I found that it may be a plugin or theme issue, and the best way to fix it is just to rename the plugins folder to something like plugins\_old, and let WordPress repopulate a new plugins folder. However, when I did the same, and turned WordPress on and off again, I found that it didn’t make a new plugins folder.

I tried making another WordPress instance to test with, and I did the same thing. I renamed the plugins folder to plugins\_old, turned WordPress on and off again, and sure enough, no new plugins folder. However, even when I tried renaming the plugins\_old folder BACK to plugins, it still didn’t work.

I’m using the truecharts version of WordPress on TrueNAS Scale, so I don’t believe I have access to phpmyadmin or the ability to FTP into the server. I only have shell access.
