Crashed my site even after uninstall

  • Be careful with this one. I installed on another site with success. Then used it on a different client’s site and the site crashed. So I deactived, still had a dead site. I used FTP access to remove the plugin -still crashed. Followed the readme.txt instructions under “If all else fails” and it still was down, including my dashboard access. I ended up copying site files from a backup – thank you backupwordpress! – and it’s fine.

    After 2 hours of problems, I wanted to take an extra 2 minutes to warn people. I am not an expert at WP but not a newbie.

  • I’ve had very similar problems, now I’ve managed to get the site running it’s created problems with other plugins that were running fine. It’s deleted lot’s of linked images from product category’s in woo and lot’s of other issues with other plugins now.
    Offers for Woo Commerce no longer works and now crashes the site too, odd widgets have disappeared, I’m sure I’ll find more strangeness left behind.

    Beware…

    I’ve got a feeling of Dejavu, this happened last time too, but I wasn’t clever enough to have remembered first… It was a few years ago I last tried it maybe, so long I’d forgotten.
    Still not sure on the full extent of the damage, but I’ve mainly got away plugin disabling, deleted, de-activating everything, then trial and error to establish the new conflicts raised.
    Luckily have the ability to back up to last known version, but hadn’t envisaged that. This is the only plug in that I’ve had wreak this amount of damage in one “easy” click.

    Also, after 2 hours of problems and I’m still not done, I wanted to take an extra 2 minutes to warn people. I am not an expert at WP but not a newbie.

    I will revert to the backup from, wait for it even luckier, today! I don’t see it being worth my time continuing to try and solve the issues created.
    I’m not even sure if I can solve them…
