ANY DOUBTS?

Take a look at our knowledge base for more information.

An unknown dialog popped up when deactivating the plugin. What should I do?

Access your WordPress Dashboard as an administrator and go to the Plugins page. As you may already know, this page contains all the plugins installed in your site, regardless of whether they’re active or not. In general, deactivating a plugin is as easy as clicking on the Deactivate action:

Deactivating Nelio Content is slightly different from deactivating other plugins. If you click on Deactivate, the following dialog pops up:

Plugin Deactivation Dialog
If you try to deactivate Nelio Content, the plugin will ask you what you want to do: keep the information your created with Nelio Content or clean it from your Database.

which offers you two different options:

  1. Deactivate the plugin temporarily or
  2. Clean database and deactivate the plugin.

Deactivate the Plugin Temporarily

If you select the first option, you’ll deactivate the plugin but all the information you created will continue in your database. In other words, your social messages, tasks, links… everything will be available once you re-activate the plugin.

Use this option if you want to deactivate the plugin temporarily.

Clean Database and Deactivate the Plugin

The second option removes all the information you created with Nelio Content from your database and deactivates the plugin, as well as cancelling your subscription to Nelio Content (if you had one).

This is the recommended action if you plan to no longer use Nelio Content. That is, if you’re not interested in our plugin anymore and you want things to be as they were before you installed it, this operation will clean your database and deactivate the plugin. Once the process is done, you can uninstall the plugin and get rid of it completely. However, keep in mind that this operation cannot be undone, so be careful when using it.

If you’re using Nelio Content Premium, the second action in the dialogue will clearly state that your account will be cancelled (as you can see in the screenshot above). Moreover, the button will also state it clearly.

What about multi-site installations?

If you’re using Nelio Content on a multi-site installation and you “Network Activated” the plugin, this dialog won’t pop up when deactivating the plugin. Therefore, you won’t be able to clean the database nor cancel your accounts (assuming one or more sub-sites do have one).

If you want to do so, you’ll have to activate the plugin individually in each sub-site and, right after that, deactivate the plugin in the same sub-site. This way, the dialog will behave as we just described, and you’ll be able to clean your database and (eventually) cancel your account.
