 * Hi,
    My site recently broke all of a sudden. I’ve been using Crayon for a month
   now. And I have no idea why it happened.
 * Here is the issue:
    The homepage of my site alone threw up 500 ISE (It had the
   post that used the plugin in the feed) The rest of the pages were accessible 
   though, except the post where I used Crayon Syntax Highlighter.
 * PHP stopped processing while loading the plugin. It almost ruined my night :/
   There was no trace of PHP errors in the logs. A senior tech rep from my hosting
   provider helped me find the problem.
 * I have disabled the plugin for now. I really love it 🙂 Could you please fix 
   the plugin and update it?

 * I deactivated the plugin. (Move it out of the plugins folder using FTP)

 * Thanks, that’s what I ended up doing. It was a real pain, I got to reading what
   you said again and there are just no errors or traces of where to go looking.
   
   I just took a gamble and renamed that folder knowing I could name it back. That
   cleared it. Pretty annoying little bug if you ask me.
