 * Hello and thanks!
    Way over my head. I activated a widget “Subscribe 2” and upgraded
   my Akismet – got the following error message. No idea what it means BUT, my site
   will no longer update or allow me to view my pages from the dashboard. H E L 
   P Please!
 * Subscribe 2 has been deactivated but it appears the damage is permanent. Should
   I use my back up from 4/21/13???
 * fatal error: Call to undefined method s2class_upgrade::get_usermeta_keyname()
   in /home/yourspir/public_html/wp-content/plugins/subscribe2/classes/class-s2-
   upgrade.php on line 292

 * have you tried:
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems (because the hooks remain unless plugins completely removed or some 
   plugins stick around in cached files. So by renaming the folder, you break them
   and force them inactive).

 * Thanks for the responses.
    I will try to address the issue by using these options.
   Appreciate both Tara and ubaidllahbutt for your responses.
