Your site will come back. * Alternatively you can move the wp-filebase folder out of the plugins directory if you are concerned about deleting things. * Thread Starter [NickWatts](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickwatts/) * (@nickwatts) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-will-not-activate/#post-3327574) * site hasnt gone down or anything – just the plug in will not activate.
