# Deactivating ThemeWare® via the database

In this article, you will learn how to deactivate ThemeWare® via the database.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: This article is intended for professionals and experts. If you are not absolutely sure, we will be happy to support you: [ThemeWare® Services at a glance](https://service.themeware.design/en/service)
{% endhint %}

If you want to disable an extension or ThemeWare®, for example because you have mistakenly installed an incompatible version and the administration is not accessible, you have to disable this extension via the database.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:** In the Shopware 6 Cloud currently is no possibility to reach the configuration via the database.
{% endhint %}

> #### Backup for safety
>
> Manual editing of the database is suitable for experienced users who are familiar with the database. Get help if this does not apply to you.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Attention**: Make sure you create a backup of your database before you make any changes here!
{% endhint %}

## Manual approach (for experienced users)

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip**: For a quick access to the database we gladly use the extension [Adminer for the Admin](/knowledge-base/profi-knowledge/editing-the-database-with-the-adminer.md) from Friends of Shopware. If the administration is not accessible, we recommend using [Adminer](https://www.adminer.org/en/) or phpMyAdmin.
{% endhint %}

### Deactivate extension

1. Open the database (e.g. Adminer or phpMyAdmin)
2. Use the search field to find the table "**plugin**" (1)
3. Open the table
4. Edit the entry for the desired extension (e.g. "TcinnThemeWareModern") with "**edit**" (3)
5. Change the contents of the "**active**" column (4) from `1` to `0`
6. Save this change and exit the database

You have now disabled the extension from the database.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.themeware.design/knowledge-base/profi-knowledge/deactivating-themeware-via-the-database.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
