Serendipity Forums

Is there a way to, via the web, remove a plugin/theme that you installed? We use spartacus here to install plugins/themes but I can't seem to find something that lets me delete unused ones off the filesystem.

Anyone know if such a thing exists? Did I miss something?

Open the admin panel. Select "Appearance -> Configure Plugins" (english - you need to translate if using a different language).

Sidebar plugins are listed first, event plugins listed second. Each has a checkbox in the upper left. Select the checkbox, then scroll down for a button labeled "remove ticked plugins" (again, words might be different for a language other than english).

Hi,

That does not seem to do it. It's gone from the list but it's still there on the filesystem. :/

The process I described should remove it from display, and s9y should have no further use of the plugin, but this does not remove it from the file system - you can either leave it on the server, where it should do no harm, or delete it from /plugins/ if you do not want it taking up space. Does that make sense?

Yup. I was just wondering if there's a way to get Serendipity to do it for me. I'm creating a blog site for others and I'd like to do so without giving them FTP access to it.

Hi!

Due to security concerncs, deleting files or editing files form within s9y does not exist.

You could code a plugin for it, of course.
