To uninstall a plugin from WordPress, you can follow these steps:
-
Log in to your WordPress dashboard using your admin credentials.
-
Once you're logged in, navigate to the "Plugins" section on the left-hand side of the dashboard menu and click on "Installed Plugins."
-
You'll see a list of all the plugins currently installed on your website.
-
Find the plugin you want to uninstall and deactivate it if it's currently active. If the plugin is already deactivated, you can skip this step.
-
Once the plugin is deactivated, you'll see an "Delete" link below the plugin's name. Click on the "Delete" link.
-
WordPress will ask you to confirm the deletion of the plugin. Review the confirmation message and click on "OK" to proceed with the deletion.
-
WordPress will remove the plugin files and data from your website.
-
After the deletion, it's a good practice to review your website and check if any elements or features related to the plugin are still present or causing any issues. If necessary, clean up any remnants or restore your website from a backup if any problems arise.
It's important to note that uninstalling a plugin will permanently remove its files and data from your website. If you think you might need the plugin again in the future or want to retain its settings, it's a good idea to create a backup of your website before uninstalling the plugin.
If you encounter any difficulties during the uninstallation process or if the plugin leaves behind any traces, such as database tables or settings, you may need to consult the plugin's documentation or contact the plugin developer for further instructions on how to completely remove the plugin.
