Deactivator

…first, fantastic plugin. It works great, does its job, looks good, etc. Thank you for the effort and producing such a useful plugin.

Second, the following is not a complaint, but rather my effort to help make the plugin better.

There seems to be an issue that occurred after version 3.1.3 (IE, the issue occurs with version 3.2.0 and 3.2.1). Just so you know, although I don’t think it would really contribute to the issue, I’m using WordPress 5.6.1 with PHP 7.3.24 running on a CentOS 7 system with Apache 2.4.6.

The issue has to do with the Deactivator.php file and the function that displays the “Sorry to see you go…” HTML message. Specifically, the HTML with the “Sorry…” all the way to the “Skip and Deactivate” Button is displayed on the admin activation screen if another plugin is installed, for those plugins that have an “activated” message page. Additionally, the same message is displayed at the bottom of other plugin admin pages (Image Map Pro is the only one I can recall at the moment). The HTML message also flashes up briefly when searching for a new plugin.

In other words, the function in the deactivation.php file to display the “Sorry…” message seems to get called incorrectly (even if your plugin is activate and has not been deactivated) and displays its message in a lot of places. And the places it displays it are always to the far left of an admin page, underneath (lower CSS Z-Index) than the WordPress Admin Menu. At no time does the message appear on any “public” web pages, just admin pages.

Anyway, thanks again for developing the plugin…
