Can’t deactivate or remove this plugin.

  • I’m trying to troubleshoot an issue with authenticating a google account for WP SMTP. However, I need to disable this plugin as it may be causing issues with the google authentication process. However, when I try to deactivate it or remove it, it just doesn’t work. Whenever I try to deactivate it, I get the following error: There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions

    the site isn’t actually broken, I can hit back and it’s fine, but the plugin refuses to deactivate.

    Just a follow-up to this. I finally got around to going into the file system and renaming it to get rid of it. The google authentication process for wp mail smtp completed instantly. After it was done, I tried to reenable this plugin as we’re using it for cognito login, and it refused to enable. It’s just completely incompatible with you having your mail connected to google. I can’t recommend enough that people run far away from this plugin. Creator is MIA and it’s broken on multiple levels.
