    Hi all

    Yesterday I installed a plugin of which I forgot the name (yeah, pretty dumb I admit) and decided against installation. I removed the plugin together with any leftovers through FTP. After that I noticed some weird tags in the plugin repository.

    When I want to search for plugins now from the admin panel, I see only these tags:

    2 3 > f h y

    So now I’m stuck 🙁
    Tried several things like reinstalling certain parts of the /WP-admin directory, but that didn’t help either. Tried plugin.install.php and plugins.php, but the result is still the same.

    Don’t want to reinstall the whole thing again, so any help is much appreciated 🙂
    (Even tried the repair URL and that performed well, but didn’t resolve the problem. A Google search turned up nothing at all)

    Any ideas on this one?

    FYI, the Plugin Repository is at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ Are you referring to your plugin’s folder? What exactly did you remove via FTP?

    Hi Esmi

    Thanks for replying so quickly 🙂

    Sorry about being somewhat vague about the plugins. I meant this URL
    http://www.imofx.com/wp-admin/plugin-install.php
    Here I usually search for new plugins and add them.
    That’s where those strange tags appear, right below the search field.

    I removed the former instances of plugin.php and plugin.install.php.
    Replacing them with new ones from a freshly downloaded version of WP3.5
    Thought that might do the trick 😉

    Hi Esmi

    Been trying a few things but no matter what I try, I still have these weird tags and can not search through the WP.org plugin database

    Hoping for a simple solution 😉
