WP Optimise marking tables as inactive

    Our website uses wp-lister-for-ebay heavily.

    Looking in the tables area of WP Optimise, it’s marking all of the table entries for ‘wp-lister-for-ebay’ as inactive.

    Belongs to: wp-lister-for-ebay [inactive]

    13 tables in all. This is all the tables that the plugin is using, they are full of info and very much in use, but the tool is marking them as inactive. I could understand if some of them were inactive, but it’s marking the entire set as inactive and I’m pretty sure if I deleted them, I’d break our website/lose all the plugin data.

    it’s likely a false positive. So far this has caused no harm, and I am not going to delete the tables, but you may wish to look into why this is happening, because they aren’t inactive and your tool shouldn’t be giving me an option to delete them!

    My site is private (we use it to serve to eBay), but i’m happy to work with a dev if they want a look or they could contact wp-labs directly.

  • Hi Andrew,

    I tested installing wp-lister-for-ebay it and it detects it correctly.

    The feature will mark [inactive] if wp-optimize detects the plugin as inactive.

    So I’m wondering why it doesn’t work for you.

    Does it show the same thing every time you visit wp-optimize’s admin panel?

    Are your plugins installed in the default location?

    Yes, it’s been the same way since I installed it, and there’s nothing custom about the install. the only possible reason I can think is I initially moved from the free version to the paid for version, which are both using the same data tables (there’s not a second set for the free version present), so maybe it’s confusing it?

    This is probably it. If the premium version has a different slug (i.e. instead of being plugins/wp-lister-for-ebay it is plugins/wp-lister-for-ebay-pro, it won’t detect it as activated.

    Apart from a few, we get the “tables per plugin” information using a third party service, as it is virtually impossible to keep track of what tables plugins create. And unfortunately a lot of premium plugins aren’t in this list.

    That makes sense, as per advised, I have left the wp-lister-for-ebay installed, but not running, because it conflicts with the pro version (and acts as a fallback, if I need to move my licence to another site etc). so it’s not detecting the plugin as not installed, but inactive.

    Thanks for looking into this for me!

    You’re welcome. Would you mind letting us know the name of the folder of the premium version? We then might be able to add it to the list.

    Sorry for the slow reply, I don’t work over the weekend ??

    Ok so the lite version is plugins/wp-lister-for-ebay
    and the pro version is plugins/wp-lister-ebay

    They both seem to use the same database entries, though you’d need to speak to the dev if the pro version uses more (obviously it has more functionality).

    Thanks for that. I’ve added this to our todo list.
