Can’t access wp-admin after using plugin

    Hello,

    We’re having trouble accessing the admin end of our site. The last plugin we installed was scripts n’ styles. Basically, I added some Javascript (which I presume was broken and/or outdated, as it was copied from Github) and it didn’t work. So we deleted the javascript, saved the changes, and uninstalled the plugin as it was no longer needed. However, since we un-installed the plugin, we haven’t been able to access the admin area to make changes to our site.

    When I inspect the element of the page, the console shows me two syntax errors from the custom code I added in via the plugin – which I would have thought would have been deleted when we deleted the javascript from the files and saved the changes and deleted the plugin.But we can’t access the admin area to edit the files. I’ve tried going through the back end using an FTP client and via the putty terminal, but we’ve searched what seems to be every single file we can find, and we can’t find the code at all.

    Where would scripts n’ styles save the custom javascript? Or is there any other fix to this issue?

    The website: https://digital3rd.org/
    When you inspect the console, the errors are on line 128 and line 498.

    Kind regards,
    Jon

    The plugin only saves data via the metadata api and options api (database thru approved wp functions) not physical files. Uninstalling the plugin removes the metadata/options. The plugin, if uninstalled, should not leave any files behind at all, and because of the way WordPress works, any non-deleted files should not run either (regardless of how this plugin works or doesn’t).

    It’s possible that you used the Theme Editor to add javascript to a file. If so, that’s actually WordPress Core’s functionality, not this plugin (this plugin only adds syntax highlighting to the editor). In which case, yes, the code would be present in what ever file you edited.
