Hello Newcomsas,
When you delete plugin’s folder – it is enough to uninstall plugin. The message from WordPress that plugin file is missed and plugin was deactivated is shown 1 time only.
With what version of WP and URE plugin did you get this error message?
Regards,
Vladimir.
I am also having this problem, i am using wordpress 3.7.1 and URE 4.7. The plugin install fine without error, but it is not showing up in the installed plugin section, and it is not showing up in the dashboard. Please help.
Please help to isolate the reason of this issue.
Try to change the DEBUG constant to true at the wp-config.php
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
Go to the admin dashboard, plugins page. Do you see any error messages related to the user-role-editor? If yes, show me screenshots.
I have very similar issues – I have now deleted the whole plugin folder after facing the issues noted above. I received the message about the missing plugin also but this cleared. After then going into my user profile, I still have remnants of the plugin remaining in the form of:
Additional Capabilities
Capabilities gravityforms_addon_browser, gravityforms_create_form, gravityforms_delete_entries, gravityforms_delete_forms, gravityforms_edit_entries, gravityforms_edit_entry_notes, gravityforms_edit_forms, gravityforms_edit_settings, gravityforms_export_entries, gravityforms_preview_forms, gravityforms_uninstall, gravityforms_view_entries, gravityforms_view_entry_notes, gravityforms_view_settings, gravityforms_view_updates
This appears in user profiles, near the bottom. I would also like to know how to have this removed without having to hunt down the rogue code causing this issue.
I suppose that the conflict with some other plugin could be the reason of such problem. Try this:
1) Deactivate all other plugins.
2) Install URE plugin.
3) Go to the selected user, click “Capabilities” link and delete all additional capabilities you assigned to him.
4) Deactivate URE plugin
5) Delete it with link “Delete” under plugin row.
If URE plugin does not appear at the admin menu after its successful activation. Try to turn on WP_DEBUG constant as I wrote above and check if any PHP errors messages appear at WP dashboard. I may help to isolate the issue.
User Role Editor works directly with WordPress roles and user’s capabilities data storage. Thus, plugin deletion, even via “Delete” link, does not rollback the changes you made.
I shall give this a try Vladimir and let you know how I get on.
