Here’s how I got the blog back up  again:

1 Went to my cPanel in my hosting account

2 Went to files

3 Brought up the site name and then plugins

4 Found the plugin (contact form) causing the problem –  on the right hand side

5 Highlighted that and clicked Rename buttton at top of the page

6 In small window that comes up I renamed the plugin – simply entered a dash between words

7 Clicked OK and it was renamed

8 This deactivates the plugin

9 Site was then back online

(It tells you this in the WP Dashboard – of course, I couldn’t access it – so asked hosting to help)

Great! But still a problem as the plugin will not activate. I found at the plugin site, you have to enter a specific code in the source code. I paid someone to set up the site for me (I’m not a techie by any stretch) and they might have put in the wrong code.

So, working on changing that bit of code. Contact form is down meanwhile – you can comment now without having to register to the blog – which is what I wanted to do in the first place!

Hope this helps!
