how can I "uninstall" a faulty plugin ?

[Chris]

hi guys,

I'm hoping that you can help me with this one. I'm a totally newbie at this, so please forgive me for asking basic questions.

I installed a plugin into my plugins directory but there was an error in the plugin. So I went back to "Configure Plugin" to attempt to remove the plugin from my site but the same error is causing the "Configure Plugin" page not to load properly.

I then tried to delete the plugin from the plugins directory hoping that this can somehow reset the "Configure Plugin" page, but you guessed it - no luck ! I get the following error message when I go to the "Configure Plugin" page :

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /vservers/christopherch/htdocs/blog/serendipity_admin_plugins.inc.php on line 127

Obviously this is due to the fact that I have deleted the plugin. What can I do to fix this ?

thanks !

Chris

The easiest way is to open phpMyAdmin or something similar, and browse your serendipity_plugins database table; there you can remove the SQL entry easily.

Our current development version is better suited for this,, since it already allows to remove plugins like yours...

Thanks Garvin ! Deleted the record from the database and all is back to normal.
