So while I was tinkering away last night WordPress.org announced today the release of WordPress 3.6, featuring a new blog-centric theme and a re-engineered revision browser. You can download the new release now from WordPress.org/Download.
So I wanted to install Jetpack but once I activated the plugin I was no longer able to reach the WordPress admin area. My obvious conclusion was that something about the plugin wasn’t agreeing with my server. After a quick once over the logs and finding nothing useful I needed to manually disable the plug-in. This can be done easily by deleting the value from ‘active_plugins’ row in the ‘wp_options’ table in your wordpress database. For most people with managed servers you can use phpMyAdmin to quickly navigate and edit to value. However seeing as I do not have it installed I needed to manually edit my database.
