How do I access "wp-content/plugins" after being locked out due to installing the Visual Composer plugin?

I'm using Elementor builder and OceanWP theme. Immediately after installing the Visual Composer plugin, I immediately received the following error. I receive this error each time I attempt to access the admin dashboard. How do I disable plugins outside of the dashboard?

"Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function vc_map() in /home/gataling/public_html/wp-content/plugins/weeby-testimonial/add-ons/testimony-addons.php:32 Stack trace: #0 /home/gataling/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(286): WEEBY_testimonial_class->push_js_option('') #1 /home/gataling/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(310): WP_Hook->apply_filters(NULL, Array) #2 /home/gataling/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php(465): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #3 /home/gataling/public_html/wp-settings.php(505): do_action('init') #4 /home/gataling/public_html/wp-config.php(90): require_once('/home/gataling/...') #5 /home/gataling/public_html/wp-load.php(37): require_once('/home/gataling/...') #6 /home/gataling/public_html/wp-admin/admin.php(34): require_once('/home/gataling/...') #7 /home/gataling/public_html/wp-admin/index.php(10): require_once('/home/gataling/...') #8 {main} thrown in /home/gataling/public_html/wp-content/plugins/weeby-testimonial/add-ons/testimony-addons.php on line 32"

I can't login to my wp-admin to uninstall the plugin. Any recommendations?

1.Easiest way: You can access your server via FTP and rename the folder of the plugin that causes the error.

The error states that not Elementor is causing the error but a plugin called "Weeby testimonial", be aware of that.

Once you've done that, wordpress won't be able to load the plugin and the error is gone.

  1. Advanced: You can disable the plugin by modifying the database. Within your wp_options table search for option_name active_plugins and remove the content. But careful: This will disable ALL active plugins.
