Hi,

How do I fully uninstall the plugin? I need to do so for testing reasons and see if the plugin works after a fresh install. It is not working on my new host and when I reinstall the plugin the settings are saved from the previous install.

I’m not quite sure where in the database to look to remove these files.

Kind regards,

Simon

Hi, try checking under wp-options table in your database using phpMyAdmin. Let me know if this helps you.

I am not too sure about the IDs.

I just searched in phpMyAdmin for any entries added in the plugin settings. They appeared under wp-options table in the database.

Let me know if you need more help.

Hi @harpo1984.

You can use a plugin that resets the database, for example Advanced WP Reset https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-wp-reset/ . It resets the WP database to the state as it was just after the fresh install. Your plugin files are kept intact, so you can simply re-activate plugins after the reset.
