Boys and Girls...and wild ones of alllllllllllll ages!! (name the song)

Anyway...I have a plugin which is probably not working due to an update, but I can't even get into my wp-admin to update or delete the plugin. Any ideas how I can sort it out?

Cheers
Phil

    You need to access the site with the cPanel file manager or an FTP program and delete the wp-content/plugins/dodgyplugin directory

    Great example of why I bug people to learn how to use a FTP program. Course Phil does, just so many people resist it. Too many people want to do everything in the dashboard.

    Actually happen to me today as well. Trying to install a forum plug-in and it broke the site. Had to FTP to delete it.

      Actually I'll often use the cPanel file manager. I've found it's ability to copy files/directories and manage zip files really handy where FTP can't do those things.
