Ok I seen there was a update for the plugin Who's Viewed me so I went ahead and did it then it said that the database had to be updated and so i clicked ok and now it is stuck in a redirect loop.    https://www.buddylist.co/..._uri=admin%2Fplugins


Before I go and start deleting the plugin and the table for it I would like to know if that would fix this problem first.

Josh, contact plugin developer, we do not provide assistance with 3rd party plugins issues.

i deleted the plugin and the database and it is stuck in redirect loop. Is there a xml file or somthing I have to edit that tells it to do that?

Im not understanding how the core is dependent on something that is no longer there there is no fail safe on it?

Josh, I don't see anything like that on your index page, and I refresh the page like thousand times.

Yes, that shows you have left overs of the ocs guests plugin, contact plugin developer to resolve your issue.

I contacted him but no clue how long the reply will take. I will probably figure it out before hand. 


im looking at the autoload and line 110 does not include ocsguest anywhere

you need to do the same for this plugin's widget

i just hacked it. All i did was create a fake table replicating it then the system thought it was there again and I was able to uninstall it. All good now.   There should be a fail-safe for that like word-press has. WordPress detects the file is missing and automatically disables it from the core.

Josh, yeah devs are suppose to include special instructions in their deactivate file and uninstall file if they have widgets or anything special that needs to be removed.  The core will do the basic removal (ie tables and userfiles dir and such) but anything special like a widget is up to the dev to add those instructions.

Sounds like a good reason to re code how widgets are handled. 3rd party plugins should not be able to modify core features. If a plugin can do that then what can a sql injection do?

Bug reports are important! They help with reproducing issues, understand the problem, and provide fixes. It is helpful to include information in your bug report that will enable a developer at best online essay writing services reviews to find and fix any problems. Bugs have many identifiers in the code base ranging from ids in source code to messages formatted by JIRA.
