Question about plugin

    Hello,
    I was looking in my plugins folder and see hyperdb and hyperdb-1-1.

    I cannot see these in my wp-admin and do not know where they came from.

    Is it safe to remove these by deleting their files? I do not recall ever installing this.
    Thanks

  • Not sure your exact situation but HyperDB doesn’t install like a regular plugin and actually files need to be copied to your “wp-content” and WordPress root folder to actually activate.

    Further it is used when you have a certain DB setup like a Write DB with one or more Read DBs. This might be your setup.

    This plugin is considered a “drop-in” plugin. If it is active you’d see it in your plugins page list in the admin if you click on the “drop-ins” type filter at the top of the page: /wp-admin/plugins.php?plugin_status=dropins

    If it isn’t active then you are probably okay to remove those folders but again without knowing your actual setup I would take my advise with caution and make sure you don’t break your site.
