That’s a serialized array. // Serialized: a:8:{i:0;s:21:”adrotate/adrotate.php”;i:1;s:19:”akismet/akismet.php”;i:2;s:33:”better-related/better-related.php”;i:3;s:17:”clicky/clicky.php”;i:4;s:49:”custom-post-permalinks/custom-post-permalinks.php”;i:5;s:32:”disqus-comment-system/disqus.php”;i:6;s:33:”export-to-text/export-to-text.php”;i:7;s:36:”google-sitemap-generator/sitemap.php”;} // dump: var_dump( maybe_unserialize(‘a:8:{i:0;s:21:”adrotate/adrotate.php”;i:1;s:19:”akismet/akismet.php”;i:2;s:33:”better-related/better-related.php”;i:3;s:17:”clicky/clicky.php”;i:4;s:49:”custom-post-permalinks/custom-post-permalinks.php”;i:5;s:32:”disqus-comment-system/disqus.php”;i:6;s:33:”export-to-text/export-to-text.php”;i:7;s:36:”google-sitemap-generator/sitemap.php”;}’) ); // Result array(8) { [0]=> string(21) “adrotate/adrotate.php” [1]=> string(19) “akismet/akismet.php” [2]=> string(33) “better-related/better-related.php” [3]=> string(17) “clicky/clicky.php” [4]=> string(49) “custom-post-permalinks/custom-post-permalinks.php” [5]=> string(32) “disqus-comment-system/disqus.php” [6]=> string(33) “export-to-text/export-to-text.php” [7]=> string(36) “google-sitemap-generator/sitemap.php” } Use maybe_unserialize() or unserialize() to transform it back to an array.
Maybe I got you wrong, but why don’t you just put the following line in your functions.php: remove_action(‘eazyest_gallery_thumbnails’, ‘ezg_thumbnails’); If you have a class function hooked to an action, you can use the class name instead of the class object: remove_action( ‘eazyest_gallery_thumbnails’, array(‘EazyestFrontendClassName’, ‘ezg_thumbnails’) ); Right now, I don’t see why this wouldn’t be working. … Read more

Extending the above comment: Directly changing the files of the plugin or theme is not a good practice as once the plugin/theme is updated, you will loose the changes. Instead use child theme in case of themes and hook to required actions in case of plugins. In your case since you are only changing the … Read more
