Plugin doesn’t clean up after uninstall

Hi Mikko,
Please make sure you use the Uninstall button instead of Deactivate. wpForo cleanup all tables and options when you click on Uninstall button.
In some cases PHP script doesn’t have permission to execute “DROP TABLE…” sql query. This is a server configuration specific issue.
In this case you should execute these SQLs whether using some plugin like ARI Adminer or in Hosting Service cPanel > phpMAdmin > Your WP Database > SQL Tab (make sure the table prefix is correct, this example is with wp_ ):

DROP TABLE wp_wpforo_forums; 
DROP TABLE wp_wpforo_languages; 
DROP TABLE wp_wpforo_likes; 
DROP TABLE wp_wpforo_phrases; 
DROP TABLE wp_wpforo_polls; 
DROP TABLE wp_wpforo_posts; 
DROP TABLE wp_wpforo_profiles; 
DROP TABLE wp_wpforo_subscribes; 
DROP TABLE wp_wpforo_topics; 
DROP TABLE wp_wpforo_usergroups; 
DROP TABLE wp_wpforo_views; 
DROP TABLE wp_wpforo_visits; 
DROP TABLE wp_wpforo_votes;

If you have installed addons you may need to execute these SQLs too:

DROP TABLE wp_wpforo_ads; 
DROP TABLE wp_wpforo_attachments; 
DROP TABLE wp_wpforo_pmfolders; 
DROP TABLE wp_wpforo_pms; 

To remove all options of wpForo, execute this SQL:
DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE '%wpforo_%'

In any case please don’t forget to backup wp_options table.

Sorry, this was a false alarm. For some reason, the plugin uninstallation hadn’t gone through even though I assumed it had.
