Let’s look more closely at how to deactivate a WordPress plugin from cPanel.

Deactivate WordPress plugin from cPanel

In order to fix a WordPress problem, we may need to disable the plugins. We can easily deactivate it from the WordPress dashboard. However, if there are many plugins, it will be a difficult work.

Depending upon the number of plugins, we can either disable it from the dashboard or cPanel. Let’s see how.

• Disabling WordPress Plugins from the Dashboard
• Disabling a Single WordPress Plugin from the cPanel
• Disabling all WordPress Plugins from the cPanel

Disabling WordPress Plugins from the Dashboard

Here are the steps to disable WordPress Plugin from the Dashboard:

1. Firstly, Open your WordPress Dashboard by logging in.
2. Then, select Plugins within the navigation menu.
3. Finally, click the Deactivate link after locating the plugin we want to disable. This result in disabling the plugin.

Disabling a Single WordPress Plugin from the cPanel

The below steps shows us to disable a single WordPress plugin in the cPanel:

1. Primarily, open cPanel and log in.
2. Select the File Manager link in the Files section.
3. Now go to the website’s document root by using the browser.
4. Open wp-content firstly then the plugins folder.
5. Now, a folder containing every plugin we’ve installed appears. Rename the plugin folder that we want to disable.
6. After we rename it, the process is all complete.

Disabling all WordPress Plugins from the cPanel

Here are the methods to disable all the WordPress plugins in the cPanel:

1. Firstly, log in to the cPanel. Then go to File Manager.
2. Then go to the WordPress installation folder.
3. Now find the plugin folder.
4. We will see all the plugins we have installed in WordPress here.
5. Now give the plugins folder a new name, such as “pluginDisabled.”

To check if the problem is fixed, try refreshing the website while the browser is in Incognito mode. If it’s gone, we need to figure out which plugin was the culprit. Now let’s examine the ways we can accomplish it.

• At first, we must change the “pluginsDisabled” folder’s name to “plugins” once more.
• Open the “ plugins “ folder. Here we can see all the plugins that are installed.
• Now click the + Folder icon in the top left to create a new folder.
• Then give a name like disabled to the folder and click on create a folder.
• Finally, we can remove the plugin folders in the folder just created. We can do it by right-clicking -> Move function or with the drag-and-drop option.

It’s crucial to move the folders one at a time and to load the website again immediately after each removal. In this manner, we can identify the plugin that was causing issues for the WordPress website.
