No uninstall.

  • So I had a page named “portfolio”. I installed that plugin and it’s gone. /portfolio/ page shows “oops! We can not find blablaba…” and after uninstallation of plugin it still redirects to main page, but the page is still shown in wordpress dashboard with same name and slug.

    So I lurked a bit and found that your plugin’s rewrite rules are still active in wp_options table under rewrite_rules option. Looks like uninstaller wasn’t able to manage removing of those rules.

    It’s sad and bad, since there is no way to edit those rules initially in wordpress. So i had to search for “rewrite rules”, look for suitable plugin (as I’m a bit unsure about hand-editing that long string of data). I did found a way to flush rewrite rules, but shouldn’t plugin do that on uninstalling?

    So I downloaded your latest version again, directly to my PC, fired up text-editor, opened uninstall.php and found what? Yeah, sure // @TODO: Define uninstall functionality here… Okay, that’s rude. C’mon you already hit 1.1.5 version. Sixteen releases and still no uninstall?

    Hello Chuvi,

    I have just seen your feedback. I am afraid that you jumped into a hasty conclusion. As any body that has experience with wordpress knows that you cannot uninstall plugin without deactivating it first, and this is why I put cleaning code in deactivation section instead, regardless of meaningless TODO I put in uninstall file for future utilization.

    Thus, the flush_rewrite_rules has been put in deactivation section that covers not only single sites, but also multi-site wordpress since version (0.7.0):

    Check the code again in /includes/waving-portfolio-type.php:
    `
    public function deactivate( $network_wide ) {
    ….

    /**
    * Fired for each blog when the plugin is deactivated.
    *
    * @since 0.7.0
    */
    private function single_deactivate() {
    flush_rewrite_rules();
    }`

    Check the code here:
    https://plugins.svn.www.ads-software.com/waving-portfolio/tags/1.1.5/includes/waving-portfolio-type.php

    However, I have just checked the plugin and flush_rewrite_rules() shown to be working just fine repeating the same scenario you shared.

    Thanks for your respectful feedback for a free plugin that I gain no benefit from, except trying to help other fellow wordpress users.

    You still didn’t get the fact that I am maintaining this plugin for years and I will continue doing that regardless of the positive or negative feedbacks it is getting, and honestly I will be never looking for any returns except make it usable and beneficial for others. Yet this plugin, doesn’t even has any single tiny greedy ads inside like most of the others, just pure functionalities.

    I would really appreciate any constructive feedbacks from any serious user who had at least tried to work with this plugin, but I cannot withstand the silly ones covered with unjustified aggression.

    And guess why the above user haven’t replied to my response since then. Simply because he had used an absolute false clauses to justify his feedback about missing uninstall option which is already there.

    I would really appreciate if you say “this plugin sucks and I don’t like its colors and stupid effects”, because this is subjective choice, rather trying to be smart and complain about a missing functionality that is already exist or start questioning others credibilities because of documentation that is already there in the front page.
