If it’s the plugin (and it sounds like it is) try these steps:
- Using FTP or whatever filemanagement tools your host has provided you with navigate to the
wp-content/plugins directory. File management like that is done without using your WordPress dashboard.
- Once there locate and delete the
connections directory. Just that one directory and nothing else.
- Try and re-login to your WordPress dashboard.
See if that lets you into your installation.
And me. Had to edit my wp_option data for active_plugins to get the site back but leaving the Connections plugin disabled.

I’m glad you got yours working. Those directions I posted above will accomplish the same thing without having to modify any mysql tables. 😉

@everyone
Please just delete Connections and reinstall. It is safe to do and you will not lose anything.
@shazahm1, I applied the fix recommended by tassos. It worked. However, I noticed you pulled the latest update and reverted to .x.x.x.4. I guess you realized this IS an issue.

Yes, I pulled the update because that was quickest solution to ensure no one else is affected.
The root issue was a merge conflict which inserted the marker text that needs to be deleted. Unfortunately, when this merge conflict occurred I didn’t get an error message that I should have received. So this went undetected.
Before re-releasing the update, I just want to double-check the code to make sure all the expected changes are in place and there are no other merge conflict markers hidden elsewhere in the code.
@Shazahm, no worries. I appreciate your willingness to fix the problem right away:-)
Thats better than many other big name developers I can think of.
