I don't have FTP access to my site because of Sandy and one of our web team being a first responder. I won't have access until he is back.
I am attempting to access my admin panel.
I installed a buggy plugin for SMF bridge.
I am able to login using my credentials at which point i get my PHP error related to SMF.
I know how to fix this error very easily with FTP access.
I need to fix it WITHOUT FTP access if that is possible.

I am wondering if there is a URL that I can type to directly access my plugin page and disable that crappy plugin.

Shortform: I don't have FTP access, Is there a URL that I can access that allows me direct access to my plugin page so that I can deactivate this baddy plugin.

I'm very interested in a plugin i've come accross at:

but my small wordpress site is being hosted for free by wordpress (i.e no FTP access) so I don't think i can install this by usual methods.

Is there a way around this, or an alternative I can add to my wordpress site?

thanks in advance

You log out of wordpress.com. Go here > http://wordpress.org and on the top right hand corner of that page register a wordpress.org username account as all your support must come from there - not from here.

You hire a web host, your set up a wordpress.org install, equip it with a theme and plugins. Then you export your content out of your wordpress.com blog into a wordpress.org install. http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/ The text widget content is not exportable and must nbe copied and pasted. The widgets in the wordpress.org install will not include the many "in-house" wordpress.com widgets.

After you have installed and activated the JetPack plugin you return to this support forum and provide both URLs and Staff will transfer your email subscribers only (follwers who use the Reader cannot be transferred.)

You will be responsible for all upgrades, installations, backups and troubleshooting. If you install a theme or a plugin that negatively affects your blog, then you have to figure out what went wrong and fix it.

You cannot build or use your own custom theme built from scratch by someone else at WordPress.com. There si no FTP access and we cannot upload themes.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

The only themes we can use are those found here > Appearance > Themes
This is a multiuser blogging platform. All blogs wearing the same theme are using the same underlying template and we cannot access the underlying files and edit templates or themes. http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/editing-themes/

There are two free themes, Sandbox and Toolbox designed to allow maximum flexibility for CSS editing and creating new “skins”. Toolbox is more modern and includes a lot of support for CSS3 and HTML5, so it is really only limited by your skills and knowledge.

If you have CSS editing experience the upgrade will allow you to stylize the appearance of themes you find here > Appearance > Themes, but will not allow you to change the functionality, by editing the underlying template. It does not allow you to remove footer links to the theme designer or to WordPress.com. Also note that CSS is theme specific, so you cannot use the CSS stylesheets from other themes with the themes at WordPress.COM. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-css/

Here's an overview of the situation:
Those of us who do have both wordpress.com and wordpress.org installs are well aware of the differences between the two types of soffware, but others aren't.

You have said:

But I'm pretty sure there should be some who have individual wordpress pages on other servers. So this information might be useful for them.

Ummm ... no - not useful. When the unaware post here at wordpress.com about uploading this theme or that plugin to a wordpress.org install they cause confusion in the wordpress.com community. That's why we are expected not to do so. If we have wordpress.org stuff we want to post and discuss then we do that on the wordpress.org forum.

We also do not provide answers to the numerous wordpress.org bloggers who arrive here every day looking for help. Instead, we direct them to the correct forum at wordpress.org.

I'm new to wordpress. I don't know what the difference is between org or com for wordpress. But I'm pretty sure there should be some who have individual wordpress pages on other servers. So this information might be useful for them.

This is a support page. I've never thought intending to make an advertising. I even don't know who is the creator of the plugin I told. I just sent the page where I could find a solution for myself.

If it is restricted, the post can be deleted.
