 * Hi there,
 * I hope you are well. I tried to upload the WordPress plugin for Mailchimp just
   released, and it locked my out of my WordPress backoffice when I tried to activate
   it.
 * Can you help, please?
 * Cheers
    Helen

 * Hello Helen,
 * Can you please let me know if you are using a plugin “WordFence” by any chance?

 * Hi Helen,
 * Are you still running MailChimp for WordPress v2.x by any chance?
 * MailChimp Activity requires [version 3.0 of MailChimp for WordPress](https://mc4wp.com/blog/the-big-three-o-release/)
   to work. I’m sorry we didn’t reflect that in the plugin’s readme yet. I’ve just
   pushed out an update where we improve on this – and where you won’t get locked
   out of your WP Admin if the requirement is not met.
 * If you’re still locked out: you can safely remove the plugin files from **/wp-
   content/plugins/mc4wp-activity/** entirely as that will stop the code from loading,
   that should get you back in your WP Admin. You can do this using FTP, cPanel 
   or in any other way you have access to your server.
 * Hope that helps. If not, let me know!
