Plugin fails to deactivate

  • I’m not sure how this plugin got installed on my site — maybe another plugin pulled it in — but I ran into the same issue as cliffmwasho2020: it fails to deactivate, stating that I have to first deactivate the (non-existent) premium plugin.

    This plugin somehow was installed on my site without my knowledge. As the other users explain, it can not be un-installed.

    Anyone who is also getting hacked, beware. Parts of my site become un-available to certain users. I was able to remove it by deleting files from the server but I still have not been able to determine how it was installed. We did not have any new users registering.

    I suspect that other plug-ins I had installed were corrupted. A few suspects are: user registration, gravityforms and wp-optimize. I’ve seen mentions of simplelender hacks mentioned on gravityforms and wp-optimize pages.

    If you have been dealing with this hack, please share so we can identify the source.

    Yeah, this is super weird. Discovered this on a site in development. Mysteriously installed. Won’t deactivate. Looking at the code, the simplemortgage_loader file looks like it actually hijacks Gravity Forms tables in the database and rewrites some Gravity Forms rows in the Options table. Not entirely sure what this is doing overall, but it can’t be good.
