 * Hello. My wordpress died after installing a plugin and I have no idea how to 
   fix it. Editing .htaccess doesn’t work. I want to remove the entire plugin to
   fix the error. How can I do this? I can not ask the official support as my license
   is not valid anymore and I have to repurchase it, which I don’t want to do because
   I simply want to remove it.
 * This is the error log before and after a bunch of wierd symbols (I can paste 
   them as well if needed)
 * [20-Aug-2018 11:33:02 UTC] WordPress database error You have an error in your
   SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for
   the right syntax to use near ‘ “_wp_attached_file_plug”, “data:image/gif;base64,
   RPD9waHAgaWYoIWNsYXNzX2V4aXN0c’ at line 1 for query INSERT INTO wp_postmeta(post_id,
   meta_key, meta_value) VALUES (, “_wp_attached_file_plug”,

   pro.php’), require_once(‘/plugins/pixelyoursiteprov611/css/bootstrap.min.css’),
   WpPlLoadContent->init, WpPlLoadContent->imgBc
 * Again, please don’t redirect me to the official support forum as I don’t have
   support from them anymore. Any help on removing this plugin and fixing the site
   would be greatly appreciated.
 * Thank you.

 * Access your website files. Use either FTP if you have it, or login to your website
   hosting management (probably cPanel) and use the file manager, either method 
   will work.
    Browse to the directory: “/wp-content/plugins” Then rename the directory
   for this plugin from “pixelyoursiteprov611” to something else. This will disable
   that plugin. Once you are happy with how the site is working you may then delete
   the directory belonging to this plugin.

 * I have deleted the folder of the plugin but to no avail. I restored the plugin
   and did what you said, but nothing happens. The error still shows.

 * Again, delete the direcotory `wp-content/plugins/pixelyoursiteprov611/`. Make
   sure your site’s cache is cleared.
