It looks like the article title says "How many chickens can you spot in this pic?", but the content you've pasted is actually about deactivating WordPress plugins when you can't access the admin dashboard.


 The article appears to be incomplete and cuts off at:

"Edit that row and set option_value to:"

Typically, to deactivate all plugins through the database, the active_plugins option is set to an empty serialized array:

a:0:{}

This tells WordPress that no plugins are active.

Summary of the Two Methods

Method 1: Rename the Plugins Folder

  • Connect via FTP or File Manager.
  • Go to /wp-content/.
  • Rename plugins to something like plugins.hold.
  • WordPress automatically deactivates all plugins.
  • Rename the folder back after regaining access.
  • Reactivate plugins one at a time to find the problem plugin.

Method 2: Edit the Database

  • Open phpMyAdmin.
  • Find the wp_options table.
  • Locate the active_plugins row.
  • Change option_value to: 
a:0:{}
  • Save the change.
  • All plugins will be deactivated.

As for the title, without the actual image, I can't determine how many chickens are in the picture. If you upload the image, I can count them for you.
