PlugIn Failed – Where in Database Are Plugins

    I was activating multiple plugins — all for use with Genesis, and something clearly wasn’t working. Got the following error message:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /home/MYSITE/public_html/wp-content/plugins/genesis-taxonomy-images/lib/genesis-taxonomy-image-functions.php on line 294

    The site is now down hard, no access through the admin panel at all just the above error. I am looking in the database using MyPHP thinking that I should be able to toggle plugins off there, but I am not finding any obvious place where plugins reside. Any help would be appreciated!

    your “genesis-taxonomy-images” plugin seems to be the error.

    try deleting the folder of this plugin using FTP , or your web-host’s cPanel or whatever file management application your host provides.

    Thanks for your reply! I ended up going into the database using MyPHP, and found that the plugs are located under wp_options. And in case it’s useful to anyone else, I ran the SQL query:
    ELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ‘active_plugins’;

    And the results were an array listing all the plugins, and I simply copied that to a text file for backup, and then deleted all from the table, and that inactivated all plugins.

    Woops, the entire query didn’t copy, so here it is:
    SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ‘active_plugins’;
