 * Hello.
 * I recently started putting together a wordpress site and I love the way it is
   turning out. I went to install a plugin and after clicking activate to test it
   out, every admin page now just shows up blank.

 * I can’t get the plugins page to load, or any other. How do I go about disabling
   the plugin without having to completely wipe and start over. Is there a way? 
   Or an option to backtrack to sneak into and remove that plugin?
 * Any help would be great. Thank you!

 * If you cannot access anything in your dashboard I would recommend using FTP to
   access the files on your server and to delete the plugin that caused the trouble.
 * Here is a link to more information about FTP:
