MrQurban Emergency Rescue<\/strong> is a lightweight, life-saving plugin designed to help you recover your WordPress site when you are locked out of the admin panel due to a fatal error, \"Critical Error,\" or the dreaded White Screen of Death (WSOD).<\/p>\n\n

It provides a Secret Rescue URL<\/strong> that loads a minimal, fail-safe interface before<\/em> your active plugins, allowing you to selectively disable problematic plugins or themes by renaming their folders without needing FTP access.<\/p>\n\n

\ud83c\udf1f Key Features<\/h3>\n\n
    \n
  • Fail-Safe Recovery<\/strong>: Loads early to bypass fatal errors caused by other plugins.<\/li>\n
  • Secret Access<\/strong>: Protected by a unique, randomized secret key.<\/li>\n
  • One-Click Deactivation<\/strong>: Instantly disable any plugin or theme.<\/li>\n
  • Debug Tools<\/strong>: Enable WP_DEBUG_LOG<\/code> on the fly and view the log file directly in the rescue interface.<\/li>\n
  • Secure<\/strong>: Uses a secret key and verifies permissions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    \u26a0\ufe0f Important Usage Note<\/h3>\n\n

    While this plugin works as a standard plugin, it is highly recommended<\/strong> to install it as a Must-Use (MU) Plugin<\/strong> to ensure it loads before any other plugin that might be causing a crash.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Standard Installation (Good)<\/h3>\n\n
      \n
    1. Upload the mrqurban-emergency-rescue.php<\/code> file to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n
    2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
    3. Go to Tools > Emergency Rescue<\/strong> to get your Secret URL.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

      Must-Use (MU) Installation \/ Fail-Safe Mode (Recommended)<\/h3>\n\n

      To ensure the plugin works even when your site is crashing early:\n1. Upload and Activate the plugin as usual.\n2. Go to Tools > Emergency Rescue<\/strong>.\n3. Click the \"Enable Fail-Safe Mode\"<\/strong> button. This will safely create a loader file in your \/wp-content\/mu-plugins\/<\/code> directory.\n4. If your hosting has restricted permissions, the plugin will provide instructions for a manual one-file upload.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n

      How do I find my Secret Rescue URL?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Go to Tools > Emergency Rescue<\/strong> in your WordPress dashboard. It is also displayed in an admin notice upon installation.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      What if I forgot my Secret URL and can't access the admin?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      You can find the secret key in your database in the wp_options<\/code> table under the option name wper_secret_key<\/code>. Alternatively, you can define a constant in your wp-config.php<\/code> (feature coming soon) or check the file code if you have FTP access.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Does this plugin delete my files?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      No. It simply renames the plugin or theme folder by appending .off<\/code> (e.g., plugin-name<\/code> becomes plugin-name.off<\/code>). This forces WordPress to deactivate it. You can restore it from the same interface.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
