  • you are saying you modified the plugin code?

    If so, simply delete and reinstall the plugin

    I can’t! When i click the bback button that error comes up! I can’t even go to the dahsboard.. Please help quick before my friend comes online again ??

    FTP.

    You either need to use ftp, or a file manager if your host offers one.

    To do either, you will need the hosting username/password which hopefully you have.

    using either method, you navigate to wp-content->plugins, and delete the folder for mingle, then reinstall

    Its the hard way to see why WP has that warning about editing active plugins

    how do i get ftp? ?? Im no computer geek ?? i was looking at online tutorial

    filezilla is a free program. Its what I use, gogole for it and you can find the program and documentation

    you install it and point it to the ftp server (which the url is usually ftp://sitename.com)

    then login with the server (not wordpress) credentials.

    From there it works similar to windows explorer or whatever, its just a way to manage files remotely
