  1. I think you have a little issue in the code, the last 2 lines.
    this:

    }
    add_action(‘init’, ‘only_one_login’);
    
    1. Hello Ivan,

      Sorry for such a late reply. If it still actual: first of all, you need to disable the plugin using FTP or file manager.

      To do it you need to navigate to ‘yourwordpresswebsite/wp-content/plugins’ directory and disable the necessary plugin by renaming its folder.

      Then you need to fix the script removing the last “}” symbol.
