Plugin missing after manual WordPress update

    Hi there, I hope you can help.

    Yesterday I performed a manual WordPress update on a site I’m running. When I visited the plugins page afterwards, I received a message to say that Events Manager had been deactivated because the .php file was missing (unfortunately I can’t remember exactly what it said). It’s not deactivated in my list of plugins – it’s been removed entirely.

    I have just tried to reinstall the plugin, which failed because ‘the destination folder already exists’.

    Having searched the forum briefly, I wonder it this is because the Events Manager version (probably) wasn’t up to date, before the manual WordPress update.

    How can I restore the plugin, hopefully with all its settings and event content? I performed a manual backup just before the update, so I’m hoping this will help. Thank you.

    Try removing the Events manager folder from the plug-ins folder via FTP…then try installing the plugin again via the UI.

    Hi otaviof, thank you for taking the time to reply.

    If I do this, will I be able to recover my previous Events Manager settings and event content?

    The settings, events, locations, etc, are stored in the database so I would assume you’ll be fine. Everything will be set as you had it before. But ideally, you’d want to back up files and DB before upgrades.

    Excellent – I had no idea it would be this simple, but removing the folder and reinstalling Events Manager has worked a treat.

    Thank you so much again – I appreciate it!
