 * Hi this plugin is still active after I deactivated and deleted. How can I do 
   a full wipe of the plugin? My users need to be able to view the pages.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fplugin-active-after-deactivation%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * It is not possible for the plugin to work when it is deactivated. All the logic
   of hiding/showing content is within the plugin. Perhaps you need to check if 
   your site / hosting provider / CDN are caching your website (serving an old version).

 * I cleared cache multiple times. It’s still redirecting the one page to login.

 * Is there anything else I can do to stop the redirect? Maybe commenting out the
   plugin’s code under Plugin Editor will help? Or do you have any documentation/
   guidance on how I can do a clean wipe of the plugin’s data?
 * Thanks for your quick response

 * You just need to deactivate the plugin, that’s all. None of the code of the plugin
   is ever run in that case.
 * I can’t think of what else is causing redirects besides browser caching. Try 
   a different browser to see.
