* I’m using the filter `plugin_action_links` to remove the **Deactivate**/**Delete**
links of all the plugins to avoid deactivating/deleting any by mistake, and using
the **Bulk actions** menu to perform such actions.
* ```wp-block-code
function unset_critical_plugins_action_links( $actions ) {
unset( $actions['deactivate'] );
unset( $actions['delete'] );
return $actions;
}
add_filter( 'plugin_action_links', 'unset_critical_plugins_action_links' );
```
* But you already use the filter `plugin_action_links_{$plugin_file}` to control
the action links of your plugin, that’s why I keep getting this warning whenever
I open the Plugins page:
* ```wp-block-code
PHP Warning: Undefined array key "deactivate" in ..../wp-content/plugins/nelio-content/admin/pages/class-nelio-content-plugin-list-page.php on line 60
```
* I tried to change my filter priority to make it run after yours, but it didn’t
work.
* Could you please add one more condition to your code (line `57` in the same file)
to avoid this warning? Something like `&& isset( $actions['deactivate'] )`:
* ```wp-block-code
if ( current_user_can( 'deactivate_plugin', nelio_content()->plugin_file ) && isset( $actions['deactivate'] ) ) {
$actions['deactivate'] = sprintf(
'',
$actions['deactivate']
);
}//end if
```
* I hope you consider this in your next release! 🙏🏻

* Well, if you click on our plugin’s _Deactivate_ action, you’ll see it actually
opens a popup asking what kind of deactivation you want to run. So, if your goal
is to prevent deactivating/deleting a plugin by mistake, I’d say ours is already
covered by this popup, isn’t it? That is, you can simply skip this step in our
plugin.
* Now, if you’re wondering why we did that, it’s pretty simple: if you do want
to delete the plugin, you might also want to remove all the data we have from
our cloud (and perhaps even cancel your subscription) – the popup allows you
to either do that or simply deactivate the plugin.
* Be it as it may, we’ll add the extra check you proposed as well in the future
release.
