Removing Extension

Quick Extension Deactivation

In order to quickly deactivate the module, you will have to rename this module's config file

 /app/etc/modules/Plumrocket_Private_Sales.xml

by changing its extension from ".xml" into something like ".xml_"

After you rename the file be sure to clear Magento cache.
