 * I am new to wp my site was previously managed by a friend of mine.
    My website
   crashed last night while I was working on a new post. The following error message
   can be found on the site: [http://www.KimroyBailey.com](http://www.KimroyBailey.com)
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘text’ (T_STRING) in /home1/adumas/public_html/
   kimroybailey.com/wp-content/plugins/gravityforms/form_display.php on line 614
 * Additionally when I am using the backend of my site it has this message
 * Your backup folder MIGHT be visible to the public
    To correct this issue, move
   the file from /home1/adumas/public_html/kimroybailey.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-
   dbmanager/htaccess.txt to /home/adumas/public_html/kimroy/wp-content/backup-db/.
   htaccess
 * Any advise will be well appreciated.
    Thanks

 * Hi, If you are able to login to the admin dashboard, go to plugins and disable
   the gravityforms plugin. The error will be fixed.
 * The other message is more of a warning from a backup plugin. To remove the message,
   move the files as specified to prevent direct view of the backup folder.

 * Hi, I have access to the admin dashboard but I cannot find the plugins menu nor
   gravityforms plugin to disable it.
 * I can update plugins by ‘mousing over’ Dashboard and select the update submenu.
   I currently have 9 updates and none of them are gravityforms. I know gravityform
   is there somewhere but I have no idea where to find it.
 * Thanks for your assistance so far ‘thecodeisclear’ I am looking forward to additional
   instructions.
 * Thanks again.

 * Hi, Once in the Admin Dashboard, Select Plugins > Installed Plugins. You should
   see all the installed plugins. If you have lots of plugins and can’t see gravityforms
   on the first page, use the search box just above the plugin list. You should 
   be able to de-activate gravityforms.
