   Grr.

   I installed and enabled the PodPress plugin, which imediately killed my blog.

   How do I manually disable the plugin? I'm not now able to access my Dashboard or administration panel at all.

   All I get is:

   Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 512220 bytes) in /home/virtual/site122/fst/var/www/html/wp-admin/admin.php on line 10

   Good isnt it? You'd think they (the plugin author) would at least have included a warning .. Oh well.

   Anyone help?

   Actually, could I just bump up the max memory limitation in admin.php line 10 ?

   EDIT: Scratch that. My host is not willing to allow more memory ..

   So to re-iterate, how do I disable a plugin manually? Ta! :)

   Hmm nevermind I managed to up the amount of executable memory available by editing my .htaccess via ssh

   I still think the plugin should contain a clear and prominent warning about its memory needs - if I didnt have shell access on my account it could have been a hassle.

   If any other n00b out there is interested I did it by adding the line:

   php_value memory_limit 16M

   Sorted.

   I presume in answer to my own question, deleting the plugin from wp-content would work around the issue?

   As you noticed, volunteer (and unpaid) support folks can't always get to all posts within 20 minutes. ;-)

   But to answer your final question: Yes, just delete the plugin from the wp-content/plugins

   Not all old old chap. Free is good. You weren't too tardy either, only a few minutes out. :)
