 * I have just developed this SAME problem and I am locked out of front end and 
   back end of my site. It is off line. How can I use ftp or whatever to remove 
   your plugin and get my site back???

 * Dear mwestrik (@mwestrik)
 * Your page seems to be back online. How did you do that?

 * OK, Google saved me. You may already know this but leaving a comment in case 
   any other WP newbies get bit by a problem like this…
 * Using FTP, go to the wp-content –> plugins folder. Inside is a folder for each
   plug in. Rename the folder of the offending plugin and the site will launch again.

 * [@selander](https://wordpress.org/support/users/selander/) Thanks for sharing
   that with the community.
 * We have rolled back the plugin version, so this should resolve the issue for 
   now

   i did 🙂

   this problem. Thank you for your patience.
