 * I was working on several blogs at once and forgot to deactivate the plugins on
   one site. Now I get the following error:
 * Warning: array_filter(): The second argument, ‘Array’, should be a valid callback
   in /hsphere/local/home/alhambra/alhambraproductions.com/blog/wp-includes/capabilities.
   php on line 152
 * Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /hsphere/local/home/alhambra/
   alhambraproductions.com/blog/wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 156
 * And now I cannot access the plugins page to deactivate them.
 * Any suggestions?
 * Thanks.

 * Use your ftp program and delete them (download first).

 * Thanks for the prompt response. What do you mean ‘download first’? Do you mean
   download the plugins as a backup?

 * Okay, I did that and I am now re-installing 2.0. I will let you know if it works.

 * Phew! Yes, that did the trick! Now do I have to do anything before I install 
   new plugins?
