Deactivated plugins and themes scan
The scan
This scan checks if any deactivated plugins and themes are installed.
The fix
SecuPress will ask you to select the deactivated plugins and themes to be deleted.
What if the fix doesn't work ?
Several solutions are possible.
- Try to manually delete the plugins and themes from the usual plugins page (
/wp-admin/plugins.php
) or the usual themes page (/wp-admin/themes.php
). - The official WordPress repository may be temporary unavailable. Wait a few minutes and try again.
- Access your site via FTP, open up the
wp-config.php
file at the root of your site, and look for the following line and delete it:define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_MODS', true );
Caution : do not mistake this line with the
DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT
constant ! If the line doesn't exist, then you have nothing else to do. - Access your site via FTP, check the chmod for the
/wp-content/
,/wp-content/plugins/
and/wp-content/themes/
are set to0755
. If they are, then you have nothing else to do. If you don't know what 'chmod' is then do nothing. Once the chmod is set, try clicking the 'fix it' button again. - Access your site via FTP and manually delete the plugins and themes.
