# Deactivate/Uninstall Breaks WP

 * I tried to uninstall this plugin, and it totally screws everything over. Once
   uninstalled, my post pages come up with a 500 error. Thankfully I was able to
   reinstall this plugin and activate it and it was working fine again.
 * Please note that **just **by deactivating the plugin breaks my pages. Is there
   a safe way for me to deactivate and remove the plugin?!
 * Thanks.

 * Really? No one has a response? I need to remove this plugin without having to
   reset my entire WordPress site. Please advise. Thank you.

 * Cannot reproduce, if you still have issues, you can rename the plugin folder 
   which will be deactivated automatically

 * Same issue. I used the plugin once. Then i upon deactivation, my wp admin and
   wp core are destroyed. Unbelievable. I have NEVER seen a plugin break wp by deactiving
   the plugin.
 * i am absolutely FURIOUS.

 * Fixed.
 * Eventually found a problem in my theme’s register_post_type() code, where the
   taxonomies value was a string not an array.
 * But for some reason, when this plugin is active, the php-errors from that problem
   were HIDDEN, so I had never seen them before.
 * I assume the plugin DISABLES my php Error Reporting. VERY BAD IDEA! Those errors
   display for a reason!!
 * That said, the plugin otherwise works well, and did not actually break my site.
