Field Groups are not deleting

Hey danbru,
Make sure that Field Group is empty

I already made sure of that… ??

This is a bug, you can put in this change to fix it:

in the plugin directory, find a file named manage_fields.php

on line 22 find:
'group' => _x('Group', 'column name', 'participants-database'),

change this to:
'Group' => _x('Group', 'column name', 'participants-database'),

(note uppercase G)

that fixes it.

I have this issue, too, but I’m not sure where to find the “plugin directory.”

OK, I think I figured out that you meant the plugin directory on my server. (I was looking in the WordPress dashboard, editor, and plug in settings.)

So I accessed it via cpanel, and this is what I found:
/home2/[domain]/public_html/staging/wp-content/plugins/participants-database/manage_fields.php

When I open that file, I do not find
‘group’ => _x(‘Group’, ‘column name’, ‘participants-database’)
on line 22, or anywhere else. Am I looking in the right place?

I don’t want to mess anything up, since the plugin is working well otherwise, and this undeletable tab is just an annoyance at this point. But I’d like it gone.

Am I looking in the right place?

You’re looking in the right place according to the file pat you gave, it’s there, so you must be looking at a different file.

SUCCESS!!
I was actually not looking in the right place. I was looking at the manage_fields.php in a staging subdirectory. The correct location was
/home2/[domain]/public_html/wp-content/plugins/participants-database.
Found it right at line 22, changed the “g” to upper case, and now it works.
Thank you!

Thanks for your help with this!
