completely removing/uninstalling the plugin

[Nadja]

I would like to completely uninstall the plugin (EC + CE). The obvious method (deactivating + removing the plugins via WP left an “Events” menu link in my WP lhs menu column.

How can I completely remove it?

Hi, Nadja.

Are you completely moving away from our product suite? If yes, you’ve still got a couple days left in your 30 day refund period.

Deleting The Events Calendar or its add-on plugins will NOT delete any of your data if you delete it via the WordPress plugin manager because that’s how we’ve decided to code our plugin.

To delete the bulk of the data from our plugins (there are likely still some other things that I’m not thinking of), you could take the following steps:

• Of course, we always recommend restorable database and file backups before modifying anything on your site.
• While The Events Calendar and its add-ons are still installed and active on your site:
  • delete all Events, Organizers, and Venues posts and empty each trash can
  • go through your Widgets and delete any of our widgets
  • use the wp-admin search for keywords like “tribe_events” through your posts, pages, and other non-Modern Tribe content types to find any of our shortcodes
  • go through your Menus and find any Custom Links menu items that go to pages like /events or /event/…
• Deactivate the Modern Tribe plugin(s)
• In your database, search your wp_options table for any option names LIKE “tribe%” and delete them
• Search through all of your database tables for anything like “%tribe%” and see if there’s anything remaining. To clean up anything else that’s found, it might be advisable to perform the action (e.g. a delete command) via wp-admin instead of directly in your database.
• Delete the Modern Tribe plugin(s)

Please let me know how this goes for you.
