Filters stuck after Plugin Organizer Re-install

  • Recently I had an issue where Plugin Organizer (Originally installed on our site in 2014, and kept up to date) was causing blank white page loads when I copied my WordPress install to a development server. I deactivated each plugin until I came to plugin organizer, after turning all on but plugin organizer the site would load. I tried reinstalling plugin organizer over the top of itself and it would fail. Logs pointed to a conflict in wp_options, I then checked the database and ran SELECT * FROMwp_optionsWHERE option_name LIKE 'PO_%'; and found there were several tables that were left behind. Upon removing them I was then able to reinstall and activate plugin organizer on my development environment. The entries that were left were
    PO_disable_admin_warning
    PO_disable_plugins_admin
    PO_disable_plugins_by_role
    PO_disable_plugins_frontend
    PO_disable_plugins_mobile
    PO_saved_plugin_order

    On my live site I wanted to clean this up so I deactivated plugin organizer, uninstalled it, viewed the db and sure enough the same tables were left behind. I manually removed them from the database. I then installed plugin organizer and started adding my settings. This time however my filters wouldn’t work, all would report “There is a with the same permalink. Edit Duplicate” Yes the word post / page is missing, and when I clicked edit duplicate it would take me to an almost empty white page that stated the post was deleted or no longer existed. I tried editing the page that URL was for and I tried resetting plugin organizer on that page the URL in the filter was for but it would not resolve. I tried overwriting on the page itself and that created 2 lines of conflict on the filter which I could clear by unsetting the overrides on the page and saving it. I also tried settings permalinks save settings, still errored, last I tried changing all permalinks from my current URL to my same URL and that too did not work. Eventually I had to restore my site files and the database backup, delete all the filters via the cms, then I was able to deactivate and uninstall then remove the above tables, install from scratch, then the filters added without a conflict. Where could I have edited the db to remove the permalinks that the uninstall left behind for the filters after uninstalling Plugin Organizer?

    Those aren’t tables. Those are rows in the wp_options table. Did you remove Plugin Organizer through the wordpress plugin admin? It has an uninstall script that runs when you delete it that way. Otherwise all options and the table it creates will still be in the database.

    Yes, I went to plugins, and after clicking deactivate and clicking uninstall it left those rows in the table.
