Solution
If you could login and disable IP GEO Block plugin, it’s simple. But probably you can’t. So change the database or file.
Disable plugin in the database
Plugin valid and invalid is controlled in wp_options table in the database. The head of the table name, wp_, can be different according to the configuration in installation.
The following SQL disables all plugin, but in my case, another plugin error appeared when I execute it.
|
1 |
UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = '' WHERE option_name = 'active_plugins'; |
I disabled only one plugin, IP GEO Block. You have to some modification for disabling only one plugin. Get information about valid plugin as follows.
|
1 |
SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE WHERE option_name = 'active_plugins'; |
See the value of the column, option_value. It is like as follows.
|
1 |
a:5:{i:0;s:31:"xxx.php";i:1;s:36:"xxx.php";i:2;s:29:"ip-geo-block/ip-geo-block.php";i:3;s:47:"xxx.php";i:4;s:57:"xxx.php";} |
Numbers and letters in the value can be different according to plugins you are using. Change the value as follows.
- Head number next to
a:shows the number of valid plugins. Reduce it by 1. - Delete the part,
i:2;s:29:"ip-geo-block/ip-geo-block.php";. - Reduce every number after the deleted position and just after
i:by 1.
As a result, the value is modified as follows.
|
1 |
a:4:{i:0;s:31:"xxx.php";i:1;s:36:"xxx.php";i:2;s:47:"xxx.php";i:3;s:57:"xxx.php";} |
Then put this value into the database through MySQL Admin or by SQL.
After that, you can login and enable the disabled plugin. I solved in this way.
Disable plugin from the file system
Remove or rename the plugin directory in wp-content/plugins.
