 * I’ve tried to deactivate TML and when I do on the login in page/ log out page,
   etc. I get **[Theme-My-Login]** in these brackets and cannot login through the
   WP login page. How can I completely remove THL so I don’t lock myself out of 
   my site and have to install from a backup, when TML was activated and working.

 * try adding this to your functions.php
    `delete_option( 'theme_my_login' );`

 * If you’ve deactivated TML, all generated links would work as they did before.
   It sounds as if you’re using a direct link to the TML generated login page at/
   login. If so, it would just display the shortcode without TML active.
