    I find this plug-in extremely useful to

    1. change admin username
    2. change DB tables prefix
    3. monitor file permissions and change where necessary

    however, I don’t want to use it or have it activated after having done those things.

    If I deactivate it from the WP plugins page it still leaves 6 aiowps_ tables in the database.

    This there another way to deactivate plugin?

    Thanks @mbrsolution but, to me, that appears to be documentation to uninstall and reinstall All In One WP Security & Firewall when you’ve been locked out.

    What I want is a clean uninstall All In One WP Security & Firewall when you don’t want to use it again.

    So, how do you uninstall All In One WP Security & Firewall so it “cleans up after itself”, so to speak.

    If you just Deactivate the plugin it leaves tables on the MySQL database.

    Hope this makes sense.

    Hi @robcub, the instructions above will allow you to remove all traces of the plugin. Then simply uninstall and delete the reset plugin.

    Let me know if that helps you further.

    @mbrsolution I was confused because I thought you were saying I should deactivate the plugin using PHPMyAdmin instead of doing it via the WordPress backend?

    Anyway, I’ve deactivated the All In One WP Security & Firewall via the WordPress plugins page and then installed and activated the AIOWPS Reset Settings Plugin and tried to Access the settings page of this plugin by clicking on the “Settings” link to go to this page wp-admin/options-general.php?page=aiowps_reset_settings_plugin_options

    and I got:

    Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.

    🙁

    Hi,

    For my understanding: is it also OK to go in the DB, delete the 6 AIOWPS tables + the aio_wp_security_configs row in wp-options or is it risky (or wrong)?

    @robcub, try the following. Don’t install the reset plugin. Disable and delete All In One…plugin. Then carry out @fermanus suggestion above. That should remove all entries of this plugin.

    Let me know how you go.

    Regards
