Configuration

Hi Ed did you also delete all the entries by this plugin in the .htaccess file?

Hi

Yes, I even did that yet the configs still remain.

Kind regards
Ed

Did you log in to PHPMyAdmin and go to the “options” table and delete the following row:
aio_wp_security_configs

This will clear all configuration for AIOWPS.

Then try activating the plugin again you should be fine.

Hi,

There is no table called aio_wp_security_configs. But the following are there:

aiowps_events
aiowps_failed_logins
aiowps_global_meta
aiowps_login_activity
aiowps_login_lockdown

Kind regards
Ed

Hi Ed did you remove those tables from the database? As always make sure you create a backup just in case something goes wrong.

Regards

No I haven’t. Should I?

Kind regards
Ed

Yes delete those entries in your database but remember to create a backup just in case.

Once all those table entries are removed from your database and your plugin deleted plus no entries left in the .htaccess file; you should be able to install a fresh copy of the plugin.

Kind regards

I deleted those tables and installed a fresh copy. The config still remains.

Kind regards
Ed

There must be something that is left behind. I have deleted this plugin many times without this issue.

I have restored my backup prior to your plugin install. I tried exactly what you mentioned above.

The config still remains. It looks like the plugin leaves traces somewhere.

Kind regards
Ed

Hi Ed, one of the developers will look more into this issue for you and provide a better solution than mine.

Thank you

@eddyferns,

Use PHPMyAdmin and go to your options table and then delete the entry with option_name called “aio_wp_security_configs”.

This will clear all of the settings from the plugin and should prevent you from being thrown out when activating the plugin again.

Hi

As I said before the aio_wp_security_configs doesn’t show up in the database, only the aforesaid files listed above.

Secondly aio_wp_security_configs shows listed among the other files at the time of deleting all the plugin files when uninstalling the plugin through the WordPress plugin section.

Many thanks
Ed

Go to the settings menu of this plugin and use the reset settings option. That will reset all your settings to default.
