    First of, this isn’t as bad as it seems. I’m actually moving the site referenced to a different folder so I can make a Canadian version of the same site. That site will have English and French language translation. This other one will be strictly English.

    But I want to delete the plugin from the US and remove all data associated with it. Even just deactivating the plugin causes issues with getting the white screen of death. So I really want to be careful. How can I properly remove the plugin and data so my site doesn’t go bad?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • First use WP_DEBUG_LOG to find out the error. I saw in the other topic that you even get an error by just calling __()

    The error was likely a function I placed inside of functions.php. I can now get back into wp-admin.

    However, after deleting the plugin, I now have a mess of [:en] and [:fr] code sprinkled throughout the site. It didn’t delete any of that fr data at all.

    So for example, I might have a page title like this:
    [:en]About Veil Cosmetics[:fr]à Propos de Veil Cosmetics[:]

    Instead of just About Veil Cosmetics.

    Isn’t there a way to easily get rid of all this in one swoop?

    I’m reinstalling the plugin for now.

    I know, it’s frustrating. Those [:en] and [:fr] tags should be removed when the plugin is removed. I’ve used the better search and replace plugin to search the entire database for those tags and replace them with just blank strings. You may wish to backup your database with UpdraftPlus first before doing this.

    Use the option: “Delete translations when uninstalling plugin”

    That’s what I did. All clean now. Just not so obvious.
