What will you do if wordpress plugin broken your wordpress blog? I believe that most people have experienced this problem before, and how you overcome your problem? I remember when my wordpress blog was unable displayed properly after installed particular wordpress plugin, so I deleted all the wordpress files, wordpress themes, wordpress plugins, and then I upload all the files again. Anyway, it is work fine finally.

If you can’t display your wordpress blog after installed particular wordpress plugin, you can follow the below steps to solve this problem.

1. De-active the Plugin
Try to de-active the wordpress plugin that you have installed just now.

2. Rename the Plugin via FTP
If it is crash by admin area and caused you can’t de-active the plugins, then you can rename the plugins via FTP.

3. Delete the Plugin via FTP
If simply renaming the plugin was not enough, try to delete it completely.

4. De-activate all the plugins via PHPMyAdmin
Some plugins will alter tables in your WordPress database when you activate them. As a result your blog might keep crashing even after you delete the plugins via FTP.

If that is the case, you will need to log into cPanel, and open the PHPMyAdmin interface. Then select the WordPress database, and browse inside the “wp-options” table. Look for the “active_plugins” column, and edit it. Inside the “options_value” field you will find something like this:

a:31:{i:0;s:13:"AddMySite.php";i:1;s:19:"akismet/akismet.php";
i:2;s:23:"all_in_one_seo_pack.php";i:3;s:16:"authenticate.php";
i:4;s:28:"breadcrumb-navigation-xt.php";i:5;s:18:
"codeautoescape.php";i:6;s:37:

These lines represent the active plugins in your blog. Delete them all and save. This should automatically de-activate every plugin. Now check if your blog is live again, and if the admin area is working. They should be.
