Disable Plugins via Database?

    Hi there. I’m trying to disable my plugins via the database. I’ve found tutorials online but they show you need to look for the “active-plugins” table…

    I don’t have that in my database.

    Any ideas on how to do this? I’m using WordPress 3.1.

    Simply renaming the wp-content folder or plugins folder will not work for what I’m trying to do.

    Thanks

    Hi! I’m not an expert in wordpress, but now i’m trying to fix a problem with the login process, and i though that may be there is a plugin’s problem, so i’ve looked for something to deactivate the plugins in the database and i’ve found something that you can try :
    – In the wp_6rwc3o_options table, there is a row with the option_name value “active_plugins” (to look for it you can try “select * from wp_6rwc3o_options where option_name = “active_plugins”).
    – Now that you have the option_id value, you can change the option_name to something like “###active_plugins” in that row.

    I hope i’ve helped you

    active_plugins isn’t a table in the database, it’s a record in the wp_options table. The option_value for the entry is a serialized array. You are going to need to unserialize it, make your changes, serialize it and put it back.

    Funny meeting you here! What is your Twitter ID so we can stay in touch.

    Turns out we just deleted it all and contacted WishList to help with a new product key.
