I don’t want to get locked out of our site. * Thanks – * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-wp-security/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-wp-security/) Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * [Gerroald](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gerroald/) * (@gerroald) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-version-355/#post-7411845) * Hi, * You can deactivate the plugin, then delete it from you install. This will run a clean up script. Then you can install the latest version. * Please let me know how it goes. * Thanks, * Gerroald * Thread Starter [bydesigndm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bydesigndm/) * (@bydesigndm) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-version-355/#post-7412144) * I just installed a clone of our site on a local test server and did the uninstall. As far as I can see it all went well. The plugin was deactivated and deleted with no ill effects. * We will proceed with the live site soon – no news will be good news. * Thanks for your help * Thread Starter [bydesigndm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bydesigndm/) * (@bydesigndm) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-version-355/#post-7412145) * OK – live site broke after deleting. Our site is working, it is the login to admin is the problem. * I deactivated and deleted the plugin. As a test I went to another browser WHILE leaving the site open in admin. In the new browser when I go to wp-admin I get this: * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/94/4419894/html/wp-config.php:88) in /home/content/94/4419894/ html/wp-login.php on line 425 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/94/4419894/html/wp-config.php:88) in /home/content/94/4419894/ html/wp-login.php on line 438 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/94/4419894/html/wp-config.php:88) in /home/content/94/4419894/ html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 925 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/94/4419894/html/wp-config.php:88) in /home/content/94/4419894/ html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 926 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/94/4419894/html/wp-config.php:88) in /home/content/94/4419894/ html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 927 ­ then at the log-in input: * ERROR: Cookies are blocked due to unexpected output.
