Could anyone tell me how I can disable this plugin without having access to the dashboard?

Please fix. This is BAD karma and should have been tested more thoroughly before release… * [helloweenie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/helloweenie/) * (@helloweenie) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-with-153/#post-4190491) * Todays update as well took down my whole site, frontend and backend! * Pls. fix and test more before releasing an update next time! * Harald. * [demcfee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/demcfee/) * (@demcfee) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-with-153/#post-4190505) * I have this same problem and it relates to the fact that this plugin is using an anonymous function in the code which only works on PHP 5.3+ * I have manually fixed the plugin to get it working on my site but it would be good for the developer to do a proper fix. * Cheers * [grahamat78](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grahamat78/) * (@grahamat78) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-with-153/#post-4190507) * I had a different problem with this version of the plugin (luckily I was running with a later version of PHP). * Whenever I saved a post or logged out I got a load of header already posted errors. * Does anyone know of a fix for this? * In the meantime I have deactivated the plugin. * [Birgit S.

I hope it will be fixed soon, so far I’ve deactivated. * [grahamat78](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grahamat78/) * (@grahamat78) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-with-153/#post-4190524) * Hi * You can contact the developer on their website [http://www.bannerweb.ch/kontakt/](http://www.bannerweb.ch/kontakt/) * They do, respond to direct contact. * [paulluna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulluna/) * (@paulluna) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-with-153/#post-4190525) * I had the same problem on VBCShafter.com. I use GoDaddy to host my site and easily used the provided GoDaddy FTP web based program in the control panel to rename the directory (thus turning it off). * If you know who to use an FTP program like filezilla then you should be able to fix the problem in a few minutes. For you guys who don’t know how to, I’m sorry as you may need to get outside help on this. * Birgit S. Kern has a post above that looks promising. I’ve never tried that method, but I’m going to take a look at it. * I downloaded and then uploaded and older version 1.5.2.2 @: [http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-mail-address-encoder/developers/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-mail-address-encoder/developers/) * Plugin Author [bannerweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bannerweb/) * (@bannerweb) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-with-153/#post-4190537) * Hi * We’re working on an fix.
