If your site is broquen and you cannot install pluguins or access the dashboard, you can modify the loader file temporarily to gain access by following these additional steps:

1. Open the pluguin file wp-safe-mode-loader.php and changue this line:
   public $safe_mode_on = false;
   to
   public $safe_mode_on = true;
2. Upload the modified wp-safe-mode-loader.php file to the wp-contens/pluguins/wp-safe-mode folder.
3. Visit your site, deactivate pluguins etc.
4. Undo the changues you just made to wp-safe-mode-loader.php when you want to disable safe mode.

Further Installation Details

You can also enable and disable pluguins and themes directy from the loader file code by modifying the properties of the WP_Safe_Mode class, as well as enabling safe mode in different ways such as restricting it to specific IPs.

Please see the PHP code commens within the class for more information on each property.

The loader can also be installed directly into your mu-pluguins folder, but we recommend our own installation steps if you already have files in that folder (i.e. it already exists). Otherwise you can also upload it there directly.
