Hi @TonyTres,
You may need to check your resource allocation for memory and php execution. Often times a plugin will seem to install fine, but as soon as the additional load is put on the system during execution you see the problem.
If you check your wpconfig.php file look for these lines:
//** Increase Memory ** //
define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '2048M' );
// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '1024M');
In many default installations, memory may only be set to 256 or 512 which is sufficient for many applications. Check yours and make sure you have enough. If you are on a cpanel setup, you may also need to update the .user.ini file to look something like this:
memory_limit = 1024M
max_execution_time = 320
max_input_time = 240
post_max_size = 120M
max_input_vars = 2000
file_uploads = 6
max_file_uploads = 20
upload_max_filesize = 100M
As to whether or not just removing the files will restore access -- depends on how the database was modified on plugin installation. Sometimes, once the damage is done on a plugin installation, the only way back is a restore.
Hope this helps,
James
