How to delete a plugin in Webuzo

You’re right—Webuzo doesn’t always offer a "Delete" button for all plugins in its admin panel. If you need to completely remove a plugin, you can do it manually via SSH. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Deactivate the Plugin:

First, log in to your Webuzo admin panel and deactivate the plugin you want to remove. This helps avoid issues during deletion.

2. Connect via SSH:

Use an SSH client (like PuTTY or Terminal) to connect to your server.

3. Navigate to the Plugins Directory:

cd /usr/local/webuzo/plugins/

4. List All Plugins:

See all installed plugins to confirm the directory name:

ls -la

5. Delete the Plugin Directory:

Remove the plugin folder (replace your-plugin with the actual plugin folder name):

rm -rf your-plugin

6. Remove Leftover Web Assets:

Some plugins add files to the webuzo web interface. Remove these as well:

rm -rf /usr/local/webuzo/enduser/webuzo/your-plugin
rm -rf /usr/local/webuzo/panel/your-plugin

7. Clean Up Plugin Data:

Delete any additional data stored by the plugin:

rm -rf /usr/local/webuzo/your-plugin

8. Remove Nginx Configurations (if present):

Some plugins create custom Nginx configs. Remove them:

rm -f /usr/local/webuzo/conf/webuzo/emps/admin_locations_your_plugin.conf
rm -f /usr/local/webuzo/conf/webuzo/emps/enduser_locations_your_plugin.conf

9. Restart Webuzo:

Finally, restart Webuzo for changes to take effect:

service webuzo restart
