@razvan I had tried a Purge All on the cache before and that did not change the wordpress status.

However, I did just deactivate every plugin and logged out. Upon returning the messages were gone…

So *resolved*.

Sorry for all the trouble.

I assume this is the error log you need, if it is something else, please let me know.

Upon installing the plugin, it appears WordPress thinks it’s still activated. So once I install it, it’s activated, site crashes. I never can get to the Admin Plugin site to Deactivate.

Install > Crash > Manually Delete.

Hello @razvan

I had not tried that, so I just gave it a go.

Upon downloading the plugin and installing it, I receive this error message:

I had to manually delete the plugin to regain access to my website.

Hello @beatrice12,

I don’t fully understand which plugin files you would like a screenshot of. There are no plug-in files. Using the cPanel File Manager, I was able to fully delete the folder located at wp-content > plugins > Strong-Testimonials.

Here is a screenshot of the wp-content/plugins folder:

However, I can’t seem to find out where WordPress is trying to continue to reference the plugin. From the Admin > Plugin page.

This all started when I hit the “uninstall” link to remove the plug-in. I was instantly given this error message: https://imgur.com/UcbgNgj clicking “Return to Dashboard” did nothing. The only resolution was to manually remove the plugin folder from wp-content/plugins. As you can see, I tried to rename the folder to strong-testimonials.bak – but that didn’t change the website status and gave a secondary error message too.

If I try to reinstall the plug-in from the repository, I can download it and since WordPress thinks it’s still already active I can install it, but it automatically bricks my site, I don’t get the option to “Activate” — showing the same error message above.

The only resolution is to again, remove the plug-ins folder manually.

How and where can I remove all references to the plug-in so WordPress is not forever going to show me the warning message on the Plugins page in Admin?

Here is the entry from the error_log file:

[16-Aug-2022 16:26:16 UTC] WordPress database error Table ‘pathof_wp623.wpbn_strong_views’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT * FROM wpbn_strong_views ORDER BY id ASC made by require_once(‘wp-admin/admin.php’), require_once(‘wp-load.php’), require_once(‘wp-config.php’), require_once(‘wp-settings.php’), do_action(‘init’), WP_Hook->do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters, Strong_Gutemberg->generate_js_vars, wpmtst_get_views

Nevermind. Once I re-enabled the plugins I use, the feature is working as it should. I don’t know why that changed.. marked as resolved.

@leonmagee although I am not the OP, this does work for me and I thank you for it.

You can find the Slug field on either the “Add New Product” window or if Edit a product you’ve already created.

If the Slug location is not visible, then you may need to click on the “Screen Options” tab on the upper right corner to enable (check) Slug.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the code. This is a very clean look.
