How Do I Disable Plugins Through The Config.php?

[g0dfather1984]

After uninstalling a mod from here, my site is inaccessible. I get a database error stating the following:

Database error The database has encountered a problem. Please try the following:

* Load the page again by clicking the Refresh button in your web browser.
* Open the wwwhome page, then try to open another page.
* Click the Back button to try another link.

The www forum technical staff have been notified of the error, though you may contact them if the problem persists.

We apologise for any inconvenience


But when I right click and view source, I see this:


Database error in vBulletin 3.8.2:

Can someone please tell me if this a plugin causing the problem? If so, how do I disable the plugins on the config.php?

Hello G0dfather,
I am unaware of whether it is a plug-in or not, it doesn't seem like it is.
However, to disable plug-ins via config.php put this code right after <?php

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); 


So your config.php should look like:

PHP Code:

<?php
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

with the rest of it underneath. Might I suggest when you have finished with the plug-in disable to comment it out and write above it what it is like so:

PHP Code:

<?php
// Disable plug-ins:
#define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

The # comments out the command so it isn't executed!
Hope this helped you.
