 * Hi I installed Google Analytics plugin but it would’nt let me activate it. It
   says ‘Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.’
    So 
   I tried to uninstall it and it just goes to a white screen and i can;t get rid
   of the plugin now? Any suggestions? Thanks

 * If you can’t access your admin pages, you’ll need to use an [FTP client](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients)(
   like FileZilla), or your host’s cpanel (or File Manager) and navigate to the 
   plugin on the server.
 * In your WP installation there, find `wp-content/plugins` and delete that Google
   Analytics plugin folder. That will hopefully allow you to get back into WP admin.

 * Ah that’s what I thought but wasn’t sure how complicated it would be. I should
   be able to manage that. Thanks Bill! 🙂

 * Did it through my hosts cpanel and it worked perfect! Didn’t even know you could
   do that! Still learning! Thanks a million, really appreciate it!
