      Do you still have access to the WP admin area?

      When you say transfer, were you moving from one domain to another? If so, there are a few queries you need to run in order to update the wp_options table with the correct info.

      What version of WordPress were you using? Were you trying to update that version as well? If so, just re-upload the newer WP files over the existing ones and you should get an database upgrade message.

      Be careful with disabling plugins via PHPMyAdmin unless you are certain you know what you're doing.

    I usually create a client site on my server first, then transfer it to their host once it's approved and paid for.

    My transfer steps...

    FTP all the WP files and folders from my server to the client's domain root folder.
    Export my original DB
    Create a new DB on client's account and import my original.
    Change the site url's in the Options table (2 locations)
    Edit the wp-config.php to match the new DB name, user, password, etc.
    Open the dashboard and login as before.

    This works every time.

    If you ever need to troubleshoot plugins, the best way is to use FTP.
    Locate the Plugins folder, rename it and create another folder named "plugins."
    Now just move the plugins (one at a time) from the renamed folder to the empty "plugins" folder until you find the culprit by testing the site each time you move another plugin to the folder.
