My forum doesn't come up after installing the mod

[Survivor1989]

Hello
After installing the Activitybar mod My forum does not come up. Now I want to delete this mod, but I don't know what files should be deleted. I just found and deleted the Activitybar files in the Sources folder

Please guide me how to go back to the previous state

did you follow the rules of modding -- always take a backup before modifying any files?

If so, then restore your backup...
If not, then maybe your host has an automated backup that you can restore...

if not that -- then go to the mod page on the mod site -- and look at the manual installation instructions, and do them in reverse.

I guarantee that just deleting the file will not fix your issue.

There should be a backup in /Packages/backups.  Download, unzip, upload to forum root.

please help
I can't reset my forum
I think the problem must be hooks files
But I can't find this folder in hosts

there is no FOLDER for hooks. Hooks are added in the database.

You can remove the hooks using repair_settings.php -- but that won't undo any file edits that may have also been made.

There is no way to fix my forum? Do I have to install SM again?

Its so bad

Have you restored the package backup?  Removed hooks with repair_settings?  At worst you can upload a clean set of files, you won't lose any content, it's in the database.
