• Resolved iwadmin

    I installed this plugin from within WP and it immediately showed errors on the top of the pages and locked me out of the admin account. It sounds like others have had this problem as well. I had to deactivate it by renaming the directory via ssh. Now I will need to look for any remnants when I delete the files and check for any db that needs to be removed.

    This is a new WP installation with only two other active plugins – akismet and matomo (which I am also still evaluating). Nothing else. It was just updated to the newest WP version, php 7.4, and the latest mysql. One message on the screen had something to do with a cookie. I think any plugin that messes with WP login cookies is best avoided.

    Too bad because it sounds promising, but I am not going to spend any time troubleshooting it when it does not even install properly. Potential users beware – this probably does not happen to everyone but I am not the first to encounter it based on previous posts.
