Does anyone use WordPress Plugins?

How do I reset a plug in?

I got a plug-in for wordpress which bridges a link between wordpress and mybb.

The problem is this. After I finally got the right settings put in, it is kind of stuck. Where it says (unavailable) for the name of the forum, I cannot change it and so it will not accept the input.

So how do I uninstall and uninstalled plugin?

I am in limbo. I cannot complete the setting up of a plug in and I cannot uninstall the plug-in. There is a bug in the dashbord configuration of the plug in and it will not let me continue putting in the right input fields. Now that I know the correct input to put in, I need to restart the process.

But the plug in is not in my list of installed plug ins. So I cannot delete it and restart it.

What do I do?

I tried ftp'ing to the web site and deleting the plug in folder and that seemed for a moment to be the corrrect choice. But when I got to the options dashboard for the plug-in, it was still in this limbo state where the fields that I needed to imput were shown by a character string "(unavailable)".

Clearly, this is a no-brainer for you if you are an experienced wordpress user and have used a lot of plug ins (which I am not). Please help.

What I fear I might need to do is to either step into the PHP code (ugh!) or open up my MySql tables and try to guess on what entries I should delete to force a reset somehow (ugh!).

The code is all out on a hosted server. So I shutter at the task of finding out how to step through the PHP code as if I was debugging a C++ program. Just setting that up will be a pain. There are several avenues I suppose I can take to fix this. Any advice?

to stop using the plugin you need to disable it in the admin panel of your wordpress instalation. To uninstall the plugin you just need to delete its files :)

Also check your database table for any orphan entries related to this plugin.

It might be in options table :)

You can delete those orphaned entries and it will reset the things as they were before :)

I used Wordpress to develop my domain. So far, I satisfy with it.
I am totally newbie, so I modified it by learning from free resource that I got from some forum or free ebook.
