To make things worse the owner doesn't know their web server login credentials so I cannot just FTP or CPanel in and delete the plugin that …

There's a conflict when using Pods, Elementor, and Ninja Forms together. This is a known issue by Ninja but the other players are uncooperative and Ninja is still a little ways out on a real fix. The conflict manifests by displaying a blank page when trying to edit a Ninja Form. At least in theory, if I can just disable the functionality of Pods or Elementor while I'm editing forms, I should be fine. I've attempted to deactivate_plugins on admin_init …

I'm creating a custom plugin for WordPress and I'm trying to execute javascript file only on plugin deactivation.

Hi I'm wondering if someone can point me in the right direction here. I'm having trouble figuring out how deactivate_plugins() works. I've been using variations of the below for awhile now and it's always seemed to work until recently. register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'my_plugin_activate_deactivate'); add_action('after_switch_theme', 'my_plugin_activate_deactivate'); function my_plugin_activate_deactivate() { if ( !function_exists ('mythemename') { deactivate_plugins( plugin_basename(__FILE__) ); } } The first problem is that the register_activation_hook part doesn't do anything at all... the plugin activates regardless of whether or not mythemename function exists. …
