Manager 500 Error after uninstalling ACE and Codemirror Extras

    White screen of death on a live website...

    I can't get into the manager at all only a 500 error, tried clearing browser cache, deleting cache on server, different computers etc

    The first issue encountered was that i couldn't save a specific chunk containing a form. It just hanged on the save modal...I checked with other chunks and they were fine (this might well be unrelated)

    This led me to remove codemirror and ACE, wondering if they were causing any issues, I pressed uninstall and then was kicked out of the manager with a 500

    Can't get back in at all now - any ideas?

      Update - I'm back in the Manager after disabling the ACE plugin via the database and removing any records in the system settings table.

      I guess it got corrupted or something when uninstalling!

        That's very strange. If it's working now great. I would backup the site and DB and then rerun the setup wizard again to solidify it.
