Major problem following installing and activating a plugin

[ggjwebb]

Hi,
I am new to Joomla but had my site up and running on Joomla 1.7.

I just installed RealSimpleDiscovery1.3 pluign and activated it and got a blank page as opposed to any success message.

My website now returns a blank page as does the administrator page!

So basically I do not now how I can get into my Joomla site to administer it.

I desperately need some help!

Go to PHPMYADMIN and run

Code: Select all

SELECT * FROM `#_extensions` where type = 'plugin' and enabled = 1

Replace # with the prefix of your database.
Edit plugin RealSimpleDiscovery and set enabled to 0.

Also contact the authors of the plugin and notify them as well.

Maybe they will provide a version for J1.7.

Thanks so much for the help: I used phpMyAdmin to edit the enabled flag and now my site is back!
I have subsequently uninstalled it.

Lesson learnt - do not install plugins without checking compatibility first!!

I have a test install with sample data for testing.
