Locked out from plugin

  • If you’ve completely botched this up, there are a few things you can do:
    1.) The easiest method is to go to your website FTP, locate your wp-content folder > plugins and completely delete your PHPBB bridge plugin

    and/or

    2.)If you need immediate access to wp-admin then all you need to do is FTP into your WordPress plugins directory and rename the wp-phpbb-bridge plugin folder to something else. You’ll be able to access wp-admin once again.

    The problem however is that the bridge function of the plugin is still enabled in MySQL… Here’s the fix for that…

    Login into phpMyAdmin from your CPanel and open your WordPress database. Search for wpb_active and select all the DB tables before clicking Go. You’ll now see the row wpb_active, click on edit. Change both “yes” values to no. You now have your wp-admin back!

    hope this helps and isn’t too confusing. Good luck!

    I am having similar issues after completely botching things when moving from a subdomain to a new domain. Unfortunately, searching my database yields no results for “wpb_active.” I have no entries beginning with “wpb_” but everything is “wp_” instead. Perhaps there is something different about my database? There is also no “wp_active” either.

    Any thoughts? I have browsed through the database, but I am admittedly a noob in that department and only have a very basic understanding of what I am doing…

    Edit: After some more digging, search for “wpbb_active”. The instructions above leave off a “b”.
