    Hi,

    I just noticed that when I deactivate the plugin it leaves the Ulike shortcode in all my articles. Is there anyway to have this removed automatically when I remove the plugin or do I really have to edit every single post and page manually??

    do I really have to edit every single post and page manually

    Yes. The plugin doesn’t add the shortcode; it just parses the shortcode. You added the shortcode, so you have to remove them.

    If you are handy with MySQL queries, you could remove them from the database directly with a single query, however.

    Wait, what? I didnt add any shortcode. The plugin does automatically? If I knew, I would never have installed it.

    And I have no clue what to type in mysql so this is major problem for me.

    @danniee
    This plugin does not add any shortcode or other string to your content. The display of the button is done through hook only.

    @alimir do you have any idea at all why deactivating the plugin leaves a [wp_ulike] shortcode in all posts? I have not added the shortcode manually.

    I can’t even remove it by editing the article because it doesn’t show in edit mode, only in normal view.

    @alimir I think maybe this thread I started before might be a clue but I still can’t solve it.

    Stupid me. I have added the shortcode to a posts widget. Sorry for wasting your time :/
