How To Deactivate A Plugin Via Database In Wodpress?

To deactivate a plugin via the database in WordPress, you can follow these steps:

1. Connect to your WordPress website’s database using a tool like phpMyAdmin.
2. Locate the wp_options table.
3. Find the row with the option_name active_plugins.
4. In the option_value column for this row, you will see a serialized array of plugin names.
5. Find the name of the plugin that you want to deactivate and delete it from this array.
6. Click the “Go” button to save your changes.

Alternatively, you can deactivate a plugin by using the WordPress Plugin API function deactivate_plugins(). This function takes an array of plugin names as its argument and deactivates them.

Keep in mind that deactivating a plugin does not remove it from your WordPress installation. To completely remove a plugin, you will need to delete it from your WordPress installation.
