Plug-ins and upgrade issues

[jcfuller]

When I upgraded from 3.6.3 to 3.6.7pl I followed eva2000 upgrade instructions. I created a separate database with the current backup and installed 3.6.7 files in a subfolder named forum2. Everything went smooth during the upgrade. Following the upgrade, when I accessed the admin control panel, there were many database errors that seemed to be associated with photoposts vBGallery. I didn't copy any of these files over, which seems to be what the errors are from. When I try to access the plugin other areas of the control panel to try and uninstall these I can't, because it is showing a database error in the right window. Any ideas on how to remove these plugins and get things running right? The only thing I can think of is to copy all the old files over and remove the plugins prior to upgrading, then upgrade to 3.6.7. But, that is contrary to eva2000's instructions.

Please disable all plugins on your board and tell us if the problem persists.

Edit your config.php file and add the following line after <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Then reupload config.php to your forum's includes folder.

Thanks Wayne! I placed that in the Config file and it allowed me to uninstall all the products within the plugins. After that I removed that statement and it worked like a charm. You rock.
