 * Hi,
 * Everytime I try to deactivate the plugin I get a 500 server error on my site.
   Same thing happens when I try to disable it from the backend on the server. How
   can I get this plugin deactivated and removed?

 * Hi [@gallivantingnomad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gallivantingnomad/),
 * Were you able to resolve this?
   Without further information, it’s not possible
   for me to provide you with any direct solution.
 * I would advise looking at your PHP Error logs and see what is causing the 500
   error – It’s likely that another plugin, or your theme, is reliant upon the plugin
   being installed. Although I’m not aware of any plugins which would.
 * This plugin itself has no code, nor does WordPress, which would cause your website
   to 500 error after it’s removal.

 * Nope it was your plugin causing the issue. I finally got rid of it on the back
   end.
