Cant Access Dashboard after installing New Plugin

ftp, or a file manager if your host offers one.

You’ll need to delete that plugin

Thxs, Is there a way to work around not going through host but directly through wordpress? What if host doesnt offer

Hello,

Any good host should give you full access to the file space where the wordpress install is hosted to get over issues such as this, I would contact them directly and ask them to give you FTP/SFTP and SSH access.

I looked at PHPMyAdmin but dont see any easy way to disable plugins, must be a flag that gets set when you enable a plugin do there must be a way… anyone?

Yeah, your host must give you some sort of file access, its the only way to kill the plugin totally

@islandnetcom, your footer is against forum rules…..

thanks, I emailed the host but still waiting to hear back. Im impatient and want to gain access to the dashboard. I appreciate the help

sure, as soon as you delete that plugin you will be golden. Do they block ftp access, or you just haven’t tried?

Im still learning WP and dont fully understand, but a quick learner. What is FTP, I guess i havent tried?

Rev. – How do I try FTP? thxs

ftp is a way to connect to your server and manipulate files

there are many progarms you could try…. I use filezilla, its free

for some help

You connect to your server usually with an ftp url (like ftp://site.com)

and your server username/password

messsage from host provider — “If you haven’t yet disabled that module I’d do so. There is no back end control panel, you can do anything you need to from the unix shell. SSH2 like usual”

Is there another way?
