 * I cannot access the plugins or updates tab. It responds with a page not found.
   I am getting people sign up/register nonstop so somehow someone has this blocked
   so I cannot remove the plugin to register?? My site is ChiefExecutiveConnections.
   com. I do not do much to direct people to this site as most our business is by
   referrals so there is no reason all these yahoo email addresses are signing up.
   Help please.

 * If that plugin is truly the problem, you can deactivate it by renaming it. You
   can usually do this via ftp or your hosting control panel. Just rename the plugin’s
   folder or main php file. Then access the WordPress plugins page. It should be
   deactivated at that point. Then you can rename the plugin so that it will appear
   in WordPress again, but it will remain deactivated until you activate it once
   again.
