Extensions Catalog – Removing Extensions

 
administrator guideextensions catalogplesk extensionsextensionshtaccess

If you no longer want to use an installed extension, you can remove it.
When you remove an installed extension, all extension data are removed
(what exactly is considered extension data varies from extension to
extension - see the examples below for reference). In addition, when an
extension is removed, all controls associated with it are removed from
the Plesk interface.

Plesk recommends that before you remove an extension, you should disable
it for a few days. If you notice no adverse effects during this time,
you can safely remove the extension.

Warning: When an extension is removed, all data for that extension are
irrevocably lost.

To remove an installed extension, follow these steps:

  1. Click Extensions in the navigation pane and go to My
    Extensions
    .
  2. Select the extension you want to remove and click Remove.

The exact consequences of removing an extension differ depending on the
extension in question. Here are a few examples:

  • If you remove the WP Toolkit extension, the associated
    controls will disappear from the Plesk interface, but the WordPress
    installations created using the extension will not be removed (as
    they are not, per se, extension data) and will continue to function
    normally. Changes to the WordPress and web server configuration files
    (for example, .htaccess) made by the extension will not be
    reverted.
  • If you remove the “Let’s Encrypt” extension, you will lose the
    ability to issue new Let’s Encrypt certificates via the Plesk
    interface. The certificates that have already been issued and
    installed will continue to function normally, but will not be renewed
    automatically when they expire.
  • If you remove the “Node.js” extension, the uploaded applications data
    will remain, but the applications themselves will cease to function.
