Restore Website Operation after Hook Error

How a hook can break a site

Iptanus File Upload Pro has a Hooks feature, an editor for writing PHP of your own to extend what the plugin does.

PHP that runs on every page load can also break every page load. The plugin checks the syntax of a hook and refuses to activate one that will not parse, but not every kind of error can be caught that way.

From version 4.14.0 there is a simple way back from a site brought down by a faulty hook.

Restoring the site

Open your home page with ?wfu_deactivate_hooks appended to the URL:

https://www.iptanus.com/?wfu_deactivate_hooks

That deactivates every hook the plugin holds and the site comes back. You can then open your hooks and correct the code at your leisure.
