Can’t delete plugin

    I cannot delete the WP Job Manager plugin. I’ve tried several times over the last year (with various WP and other plugin upgrades.) Each time, it hangs on “Deleting…” for hours. At the same time, it deactivates another plugin I have, called All In One Event Calendar.

    When I rename the Wp Job Manager directory via FTP, everything continues to function normally, but I’d like to completely get rid of it.

    Obviously the WP Job Manager plugin installed other files in the database.

    Meanwhile, I have simply left the Wp Job Manager plugin deactivated. But it clutters up my dashboard and FTP.

    Can you advise on how to fully remove/uninstall the plugin manually?

    Thanks.

    Hi @jillpearson that is a bit odd that the deletion will not work in wp-admin. You can just delete the plugin in the plugins/ folder via FTP and that should be enough.

    Hi, Jonryan. I tried one more time deleting the directory via FTP, and this time no problems. Whichever plugin was conflicting or sharing files must have since been updated, and this time it deleted fine.

    Thanks for your answer.
