Danger Will Robinson! What to do if you install a plugin & can’t login to your WordPress Blog

.

I’m using a plugin called “After the Deadline” which is a spelling and grammar checker (see previous post), I’ve just uploaded & installed the latest version .40, now my  blog doesn’t work, & I can’t even log into Admin on my blog! Yikes…

But all is not Lost In Space, as with all plugins on a WordPress Blog, you can get access (at least to delete it) to the After the Deadline plugin using an FTP program like Filezilla, and simply delete the After the deadline folder in the plugins folder of your blog, then you’ll be able to login to your admin screen.

The faulty plugin will be deactivated since it no longer exists. Simples.

UPDATE: I’ve emailed the plugin author about the bug and he’s fix the problem. Version 0.41

A relieved Rob
