 * Hello,
 * A simple question : i can’t obtain the way to uninstall a plugin from the author.
   (
   nb : if i use the normal uninstall option in the plugins menu , there are still
   some must use plugin and stuff in htacces). this plugin is a security plugin 
   and did some encryption of data in wp-config and put it out of this folder, thats
   why for example a must-use plugin is created.
 * Anyway, there are no infos to unistall this plugin entierly, and the support 
   on wordpress.org is desert for month.
    I seriously don’t want to rewrite my htacces
   and wp-config.
 * The last contact via mail with the author was not concluent…
 * What should i do ?

 * Please identify exactly which plugin you are using and then post in that plugin’s
   dedicated forum via its page in the [Plugin Repository](https://wordpress.org/plugins/).

 * I’ve moved this to Fixing WordPress and changed the topic title as it was misleading.
 * As t-p asked, which plugin?

 * That plugin seems to be actively maintained by its developers. In fact, looks
   like it was updated as recent as last week.
 * Also, the sub-support forum of this plugin seems to be currently active.
 * I recommend try asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/secupress](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/secupress)
   so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.

 * I ve done this, thats why i am here.
    If you look carefully the support the last
   15 threads are leaved without support for many months.(but one i think)
 * Then, when i ask by mail the author how to remove this plugin because of an issue,
   he didn’t answer me about that,just the issue and the bug.
 * When i mentionned with a second mail that my threads are empty for four months
   and i needed to remove entierly this plugin, he took that very bad and told me
   that i will wait again 4 months. And of course did’nt tell me how to remove entierly
   this plugin.
 * So, i posted some threads 5 months ago in the approriate support without answers
   from the author.
    Then because of issues recently i asked on the support wordpress.
   org IN the appropriate support. Then i asked him threee times by mail last days(
   cause i was in hurry) how to remove it.no answers for that.
 * Once gain that’s why i’am here.
