 * [This is the plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-tweets-php/).
 * I click “deactivate,” I’m told “Plugin deactivated,” but nothing has changed.
   It’s still activated and its status hasn’t changed.

 * If you cannot access your dashboard, you can deactivate all of your plugins via
   FTP.
 * To deactivate all of your plugins via FTP, you just need to rename the “plugins”
   folder (yes the “plugins” one). Then WordPress will automatically deactivate 
   all of your plugins. You can rename the folder name straight back afterwards.
