 * Only way i can login is by removing or renaming the plugins folder. when i try
   to build a new folder and add the plugins, i can’t login again.
 * suggestions needed?

 * ok. this worked.
    in ftp, i renamed my plugins folder to plugins1. i created 
   a new plugins folder. i loaded it with my plugins.. but you may not have to. 
   i deleted that plugins folder. i renamed plugins1 back to plugins. worked.
