So… I was playing around with outlets and after not being able to render my html into one I put the  
This was on the edit html/css-\> /head of a theme-component.

```
<script type='text/x-handlebars' data-template-name='application>
  <div class="test-div">
  </div>
</script>

```

So now my app is empty. Can I visit admin settings from somewhere else to disable the plugin?

You can get into [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) to disable all 3rd party plugins and themes.

Just visit `discourse.example.com/safe-mode`

Any idea why `data-teplate-name='/connectors/above-main-outlet'` is not working?

I tried other plugin outlets as well like `/connectors/some-outlet-name` but wasn’t able to render anything on the page yet.
