Query Monitor won’t let me delete plugins.

    I am trying to delete the Jetpack Boost plugin, but am having problems with query monitor blocking the deletion.

    When I go to the plugins panel, and select “Delete” underneath the Jetpack Boost plugin, I get the following error at the top of my admin panel:

    Deletion failed: {"success":true,"data":{"delete":"plugin","slug":"jetpack-boost","plugin":"jetpack-boost\/jetpack-boost.php","pluginName":"Jetpack Boost"}}

    Then the Jetpack Boost Plugin shows “Activate?|?Deleting…” options underneath it. So without refreshing, I hit the “Deleting…” link and get the following different error:

    Deletion failed: .wp-die-message { display: none; } Fatal error: Uncaught Error: call_user_func_array(): Argument #1 ($callback) must be a valid callback, function "Automattic\Jetpack_Boost\jetpack_boost_uninstall" not found or invalid function namein /var/www/danran.rocks/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php on line 324Call stack:WP_Hook::apply_filters()wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php:348WP_Hook::do_action()wp-includes/plugin.php:517do_action()wp-admin/includes/plugin.php:1340uninstall_plugin()wp-admin/includes/plugin.php:972delete_plugins()wp-admin/includes/ajax-actions.php:4766wp_ajax_delete_plugin()wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php:324WP_Hook::apply_filters()wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php:348WP_Hook::do_action()wp-includes/plugin.php:517do_action()wp-admin/admin-ajax.php:192Query MonitorThere has been a critical error on this website.Learn more about troubleshooting WordPress.

    The second to last line do_action()wp-admin/admin-ajax.php:192Query Monitor seems to indicate this is caused by Query monitor being active.

    When I deactivate Query Monitor and then try to delete the Plugin, it works and deletes perfectly. So the issue is definitely with Query Monitor.

    Below are my system Specs:

    • OS: Ubuntu 22.04 Server
    • Web Server: Nginx 1.25.5 Mainline
    • PHP: 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.15
    • WordPress Version: 6.5.2

    How can I fix this immediately, and can you implement a fix in an update that fixes this in the near future? Thanks.

    Thanks for the report. The underlying problem looks to be caused by Jetpack Boost which is attempting to call the jetpack_boost_uninstall() function which doesn’t exist. Without Query Monitor enabled, the error simply gets swallowed.

    Can you report the issue to Jetpack Boost? In the meantime I will take a look to see how to handle this better in Query Monitor.
