   How can I delete (not deactivate) my FCG plug-in? I need to delete it so I can re-install an altered version to fix a bug in IE8.
   Any help greatly appreciated.
   thx

   If you mean just delete the plugin then you can delete it from the plugins/ folder, after deactivating it. WP 2.7 will delete the folder for you, removing the need to use FTP. If you mean deleting from the theme then locate this line:

   <?php include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php'); ?>

   in your theme - most likely in either the header.php or the top of the page.php. Just remove that line or place anywhere else you need the gallery

   Ok thanks. But when I delete the plugin and then try to re-install a revised version of it, the installation fails with a message saying;

   Folder already exists.: featured-content-gallery.3.2.0

   Installation Failed

   Any suggestions? Or is there some way that I can edit the CSS file from within WP?
   thx

   which version of WP are you using? 2.7 should delete that folder for you when you delete the plugin (not just deactivate). You could use an FTP program, like filezilla, to manually remove the folder. But as far as editing the CSS file, I don't think the built-in editor covers that. It will let you edit the php file that runs the plugin but not the CSS file. You could edit it and then re-upload it with filezilla, or use a program like PSPad to edit it via FTP and re-save it directly to the server.

   That did the trick.
   Thanks very much for the help.
