Is there a way for me to disable plugins through mysql?

Plugins are cached in the datastore, so doing that wouldn't do you much good I'm afraid.

Please try re-downloading and re-uploading all default vBulletin files, as I can confirm this does not happen on a vBulletin installation that has not had its core files edited.

I've uploaded another hotfix that should no longer require you to add the disable_hooks to config.php.

That being said, being unable to replicate this issue, I can't guarantee it will do any good.

Hi there, I figured out why it wasn't working.
I am a dumb ass.
I did not set vBSEO to 666...so i was locked out.

P.S: Thank you Belazor and Ozzy47 for helping me out!
As always quality plugins and amazing support!

Glad it worked out :)

You have got a PM with Login details

You're still running v5.4.4, which is unsupported.

As for the loading issue, please re-download, re-upload and re-import the XML file. I believe I have fixed all the outstanding issues and also addressed the upgrade difficulties.

Thank you so much. Its working fine now. I will be going for the pro in a week time. I prefer life time one.

Shoutbox has become extremely slow. After pressing enter its taking too long to show text on shoutbox. Am I missing any settings ???

Try setting the refresh time to a lower amount.
You should also turn off the context menu, as the additional data it sends leads to extra server load.

In addition, hiding the shoutbox from guests prevents them from taking up resources when they can't shout (no guests can ever shout).

And finally, setting the Idle Timeout to a lower amount as well as turning on Auto-Idle can also help reduce the resources it consumes.
