Hi, I installed the TopLink plugin and in a field, where apparently only text was allowed, I placed ome HTML code...

now my site is compkletely inaccessible, also the admin section.


Can anybody tell me how I can uninstall the plugin? I am thinking of an URL like this:


http://..../admin/plugins/plugin_name/?uninstall


Each plugin has an uninstall button, so I guess what I need is the URL of that uninstall button. I hope that putting that URL in m ybrowser I can uninstall the plugin...


Or would it be enough to delete the plugin folder via FTP ?


Thank you for any help - and pardon me for my stupidity of using HTML code  in the first place...

the link should be like:


http://jambo-congo.net/admin/plugins/uninstall-request/key/toplink


but thats not enough, probably I need some query to add...


Who can help me?

Go to your base_plugin table in your DB and set `isActive` for that plugin to false. Make the changes you need to the plugin files, the re-enable.

unfortunately, whe desactivated, I cannot change/repair any settings, that is only possible when activated. And I cant even uninstall it because that too is only possible when activated.


But when I activate the plugin, immediately it destroys again my whole site layout so tat I cant do anything...


Do you think a NEW install (upload and new install) will help?

Enable debug mode in your /includes/config.php file


That will give you details on exactly what's causing the error.

I just looked in the tables created by the plugin for the bad entry (where i had put the html code) and changed that entry to simple text - now everything is fine.


Thanks God for phpMyAdmin :)
