Database records of plugins used

    My active_plugins list is showing the following plugins, but I do not now use them:
    “XXdelicious.php”
    “average.php”
    “blogtimes-echo.php”
    “echo.php”
    “osa.php”
    “uri_blocklist.php”
    Each of these has some numbers, typically like this
    i:5;s:13:
    where the i is incremented each time, and the s I can’t figure out.

    So, although it’s no hassle them being there, how do I get rid and indeed why are the names still there ?

    Because you deleted the files while the plugin was still active? I did that and the plugins still showed up in my ‘in use’ list.

    I thought that, but I’m generally pretty good about deactivating then removing – esp with a couple in that list which were me pretending I knew some php (I didn’t, don’t).

    To sort:
    – backup db
    – deactivate all plugins
    – delete contents of table
    – delete (by ftp) any files you don’t need/want
    – reactivate plugins

    causes oodles of errors while you do it, and it saves what … a K or two of data ? – but it was sorted 🙂

    I had the same issue. I think I put in a:0{} and then went and reactivated the plugins I wanted. This gave me… fewer errors certainly than when I just deleted as you mention above. It’s possible I got no errors. It was a while ago and I was poking around: tried several things.

    The “s”, by the way, is the number of chararcters in the filename of the plugin. It’s used to figure out how to parse that ugly string as an array.
