Horrible product — can’t delete it once installed/activated

  • After installing/activating, I reviewed of what the developer calls a “live demo.” It is not. It is an undecipherable mess of links without any up-front explanation of why I might choose to select one or another of these many links.

    So then I went to delete the plugin. I discovered that it commits the most heinous of plugin sins — it won’t uninstall. After I deactivated and then clicked “delete,” the following message was returned:
    “You cannot delete a plugin while it is active on the main site.”
    Really? After I DEACTIVATED the plugin. Truly heinous.

    Do not go anywhere near this.

  • This sounds like an issue with your implementation, not this plugin. See this post for an example of the issues that lead to it:

    @dgwyer Thus review is feedback. You can always choose to reply well. In feedback users do get to be wrong.

    I am un-reporting this review. Please do not report it again.

    Unfair/incorrect ‘feedback’ left in frustration can be damaging to a plugin’s reputation, as is the case here.

    Hence I think it’s justified to ask for the removal of this particular review as it’s not representative of the plugin. It’s clearly an issue unrelated to the plugin (i.e. no other reports of this).

    I don’t think it’s correct to justify it under ‘users get to be wrong’. This is a very polarised comment that, as mentioned above, can have a damaging effect on the plugin going forward.
