 * I tried using Age Gate. It paid no attention to the changes I made. I set the
   minimum age to “18”. When I logged into the site on another browser it still 
   had the default “21”. Since I couldn’t use it, I deleted it. When I tried to 
   login again it was still there, but no where to be found in my list of plugins.
   I checked the database. It was still in many places, almost like a virus. My 
   site is now useless. I have will have to reinstall a previous backup lose a lot
   of work.

 * Hi [@mystictrain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mystictrain/)
 * Thank you for your review and sorry you’ve had issues. However this doesn’t sound
   like an issue with the plugin. Settings not being updated and it still being 
   present after you deleted are almost certainly your site having content cached
   via another plugin or at a server level that is still being rendering the old
   content.
 * The plugin offers a mode for these scenarios that you can enable as per the documentation.
