## Beskrivelse

This plugin enables safe mode for WordPress. This means:

 * No plugins will be loaded.
 * A default theme will be temporarily activated (if it is installed).

#### Why is this useful?

Whenever something’s wrong with a WordPress site, the first rule of thumb is to 
disable plugins and revert to the default theme if possible. Depending on the nature
of the error, that is not always an option. The back end (dashboard) may also be
down or you may not have FTP access to manually disable plugins and themes.

**Enter Safe Mode**. Safe Mode will completely disable all plugins and the active
theme temporarily for a single page view – ultimately enabling you to log in and
remove the offending plugin. (This is not guaranteed to work in all scenarios, please
read the disclaimer)

#### How does it work?

If your site crashes due to an upsetting plugin or theme, all you have to do is 
add a querystring parameter to the URL. Doing that will temporarily disable all 
plugins for that single page view, as well as temporarily activate a default theme
if one is installed.

Let’s say you’re the owner of www.example.com. To enable safe mode for one particular
page, you add this to the URL: “?safe_mode=1”.

Bear in mind that you have to do this for every view. The querystring parameter 
isn’t carried on automatically. So, for instance:

 * If you need to log in, go to: www.example.com/wp-admin/?safe_mode=1
 * If you need to go to plugin management, go to: www.example.com/wp-admin/plugins.
   php?safe_mode=1
 * If you need to go to theme management, go to: www.example.com/wp-admin/themes.
   php?safe_mode=1

When you go to plugin management, all plugins will seem to be deactivated (due to
the way Safe Mode works), but you’ll still be able to explicitly deactivate each
plugin. Just use the “Deactivate (safe mode)” option.

#### What are default themes?

By default theme, I’m referring to the themes that ships with WordPress, you know,
the Twenty “something” ones.

The plugin checks if any of these themes are installed, and if so, activates the
first theme it encounters. Thus I highly recommend that you keep one of those themes
installed at all times. If you don’t, safe mode will keep your current active theme,
and that theme may just be the offender – leaving safe mode useless. Keep this in
mind.

#### Disclaimer

This plugin will be able to handle many scenarios, but not all. If your site’s crash
is caused by a database crash, or something that simply brings down the PHP parser,
like a call to an undefined function, Safe Mode won’t be able to do anything about
that.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `safe-mode` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

NOTE: Upon activation, the plugin tries to copy a file to the `/wp-content/mu-plugins/`
directory. If the `mu-plugins` directory does not exist, the plugin will attempt
to create it and copy the file. Depending on your file permissions it may not be
successful. If not, you’ll have to create the directory manually and copy the file`/
wp-content/plugins/safe-mode/loader/safe-moder-loader.php` to the `/wp-content/mu-
plugins/` directory.

I love using Health Check. And starting today I love this as well. Using a URL parameter
for selective application is ***** alone. Keep it up!

   themes.
