Unable to reinstall AIOWPS

    I’ve had the stupid idea to use a AIO settings file from another domain and now I cannot login or reinstall the plugin because the Cloudflare captcha won’t let me (different domain error).

    I’ve tried to remove the AIO tables from the database, hoping it will clear the Cloudflare settings as well, but the result is the same. I cannot login unless I delete the plugin folder. Then I reinstall it, activate it and I’m locked out again – Cloudflare captcha, wrong domain error. And so on.

    So, how to properly get rid of ALL the settings so I can reinstall the plugin fresh?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    You should be able to completely uninstall the plugin by using the steps below. (in addition to removing the plugin files)

    Please make sure you backup your database first and exercise caution when deleting any rows from your database to ensure they are not used by other plugins.

    • Check that all table names in your database with {tableprefix}_aiowps have been dropped
    • Run the SQL query:  

      SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE '%aio%'  

    inspect the results and delete any matching AIOS related rows.

    • Check for presence of / remove aios-bootstrap.php from the root directory
    • Remove wp-content/uploads/aios/ directory if present
    • Open your .htaccess file in the root folder and remove all lines of code between 
      BEGIN All In One WP Security
      and
      END All In One WP Security

      Thanks

    Hi, I’ve managed to do it, but another issue popup.

    After I’ve been logged out (according to the automatic logout settings, after 60 minutes), I cannot acces the wp-admin area, not even the wp-login.php. The browser displays a 403 error.

    Without trying to remove the plugin again, is there other way to identify and fix this issue? I have to mention that the current installation restored the plugin (and everything else) from a backup, using Updraft. The front site works fine, and the admin area worked fine until the automatic logout happened. Then, 403

    Hi @wattaman

    It might be the Login whitelist on and your IP is not white listed that might be the issue. define below constant in wp-config.php before wp-settings.php added.

    define( 'AIOS_DISABLE_LOGIN_WHITELIST', true );

    Regards
