re-activating plugin shown as another instance

    I’m using Events Manager 6.6.3 with WordPress 6.7.

    Today I got a White Screen on WordPress and the help FAQ suggests to deactivate all plugins in the wp_options table – what I did. Next step: re-activate the plugins in the WP dashboard.

    This worked for all other plugins, activating Events Manager resulted in a “fatal error”.

    How to solve: trying to uninstall and install again – then all the event items in the database may be gone. Maybe best to replace all files of the plugin.

    I downloaded the plugin files, renamed the events-manager folder among the plugins and unzipped the downloaded files to a new events-manager folder.

    Activating Events Manager in the Plugins panel of the dashboard worked well and all features of the Events Manager work – but the dashboard shows another plugin entry for Events Manager.

    The active_plugins column of the wp_options table shows only a single instance of the Events Manager.

    Why are multiple instances shown in the dashboard and how to get rid of the “old” ones?
