Cannot disable plugins in any way.

    Hey there, I’ve been working on a WordPress site. I use two plugins (which I know are the cause of this issue); Ultimate Coming Soon Page, and User Profiles Made Easy. I logged out, and when navigating to wp-admin or wp-login.php, I get returned to the coming soon page. This is because of a setting in User Profiles Made Easy which forces a frontend login, so navigating to /wp-admin/ or wp-login.php takes me to a frontend page, which I can’t access because of the coming soon page.

    Okay, fair enough. So I tried renaming the plugins (and themes) folder in FTP. Refreshed the site, tried going to the admin panel, still no luck.

    I then went to phpMyAdmin to edit the “active_plugins” field. Still, no luck. I am redirected to the coming soon page. There’s nothing in /wp-admin/index.php, or wp-login.php, or .htaccess for that matter. So, how should I go about disabling these plugins and fixing the issue?

    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks :).

    My cache is clear, as are my cookies etc. Still no idea what could be causing this.

    Why don’t you remove the folders of the plugins in question from the wp-content/plugins directory.

    Can you be more specific? Did you disable the plugin in your database? Did you get an error? The plugin list should be serialized php if I remember correctly. Keep that in mind as you are editing. You can’t just remove the reference to the php file or you could screw things up.

    Try this:

    1.) open up /wp-content/plugins/ultimate-coming-soon-plugin/inc/config.php
    2.) Navigate to line 63
    3.) change this:

    if(preg_match("/login/i",$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) > 0){
                    return false;
                }

    to this:

    if(!preg_match("/login/i",$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) > 0){
                    return false;
                }

    basically just put a ! in front of preg_match.
    4.) Login like normal and de activate the plugin.

    Tried changing the config.php file to no avail. Deleting it did nothing either.

    In phpMyAdmin I cleared the plugins_enable field (set it to a:0{} or something similar), and that still didn’t work. I really am clueless as to why this isn’t working.

    Thank you for your help so far, though.

    Wait so you are still being redirected to a coming soon page even when the plugin has been deleted??? Maybe this is a caching issue…

    My cache is completely clear, and my friend is having the same issue. I even tried a different browser, still no.

    I mean server side caching. Are you using a caching plugin?

    We weren’t using a caching plugin before, no.

    So you’ve deleted the coming soon plugin… but the functionality of said plugin still exists…? I’m not quite sure how that’s possible.
