> [Safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) currently only disables the JavaScript portions of plugins, to disable the server-side portion you must rebuild your container with the plugin commented out. Though historically the majority of breakages were in the JavaScript portions of plugins.

But if [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) helps you figure out the problem then ✅, if not you can come on here and we can help you figure it out. 🙂
