Fast turn around, but… fatal error

I installed and now when I load the admin panel or any subpage, I get

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wpcf7_add_shortcode() in /home/content/h/u/n/hunterhogan/html/wp-content/plugins/slider-captcha/modules/contact-form-7.php on line 33

on a blank page and nothing else. I can’t even get to the screen to deactivate the plugin.

Using Filezilla, I renamed ./slider-captcha/ to ./slider-captcha-broken/ and I was able to load the admin panel.

On https://www.hunterthinks.com/wp-admin/plugins.php, I get, of course, a warning “The plugin slider-captcha/slider-captcha.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist.” I click Delete on the plugin.

Interestingly, the URL it takes me to is

https://www.hunterthinks.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?action=delete-selected&checked%5B0%5D=slider-captcha-broken%2Fslider-captcha.php&plugin_status=all&paged=1&s&_wpnonce=%5Bdeleted-something-that-looked-like-it-needed-to-be-deleted%5D

Notice that it says “slider-captcha-broken” and NOT “slider-captcha”.

That seems good. I’m impressed that WordPress was smart enough to detect that I changed the name of the directory using Filezilla.

I click to delete the files. A tear falls down my cheek. WordPress says “The selected plugins have been deleted.” Filezilla agrees. I am not knowledgeable enough to look in the database or other locations and look for artifacts.

Plugins page and WordPress is back to normal, including multiple new spam registrations! I love the product you guys/girls/others have made. I’m not giving up on you.

If there is a report I can run that will help you diagnose the problem, please let me know. My life is, uh, “unusual”, so if I don’t respond to you, it is almost certainly has nothing to do with you.
