# AI Assistant Guide for WordPress Plugin Development
This guide helps AI assistants understand the project structure, workflows, and best practices for this repository.
## AI IDE Configuration
This repository includes configuration files for various AI-powered development tools:
- `.aiconfig` - General AI configuration (model preferences, ignore patterns)
- `.augmentignore` - Ignore patterns for Augment
- `.cursorignore` - Ignore patterns for Cursor
- `.v0ignore` - Ignore patterns for v0
- `.windsurfignore` - Ignore patterns for Windsurf
- `.clinerc` - Configuration for Cline
- `.rooignore` - Ignore patterns for Roo
- `.geminiignore` - Ignore patterns for Gemini Code Assist
- `.loveablerc` - Configuration for Loveable
- `.boltignore` - Ignore patterns for Bolt
- `.codyignore` - Ignore patterns for Cody
- `.continuerc` - Configuration for Continue
All these files respect `.gitignore` patterns and only include additional tool-specific patterns. The `!` prefix can be used in these files to include files that are excluded by `.gitignore`.
## Project Overview
- **Plugin Name**: [PLUGIN_NAME]
- **Repository**: [REPOSITORY_URL]
- **Description**: [PLUGIN_DESCRIPTION]
This section should be updated with your specific plugin information. The current implementation is for the "Fix 'Plugin file does not exist.' Notices" plugin, which adds missing plugins to the plugins list with a "Remove Notice" link to clean up invalid plugin entries and remove error notices.
## Reference Plugins
The `reference-plugins/` directory contains plugins that can be used for reference or inspiration. When developing new features or improving existing ones, you should:
1. Examine these reference plugins for best practices in code structure, organization, and implementation
2. Look for patterns in how they handle similar functionality
3. Consider their approach to user interface design and user experience
4. Study their documentation style and thoroughness
These plugins are not part of the codebase and are ignored by Git, but they provide valuable examples of WordPress plugin development standards and techniques.
## Version Management
### Version Numbering Convention
We follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/):
- **MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH** (e.g., 1.6.0)
- **MAJOR**: Breaking changes
- **MINOR**: New features, non-breaking
- **PATCH**: Bug fixes, non-breaking
### When to Increment Version Numbers
- **PATCH** (1.6.0 → 1.6.1):
- Bug fixes
- Small text changes
- Minor improvements that don't add new features
- **MINOR** (1.6.0 → 1.7.0):
- New features
- Significant improvements to existing functionality
- Deprecation of features (but not removal)
- **MAJOR** (1.6.0 → 2.0.0):
- Breaking changes
- Removal of features
- Major architectural changes
### Version Update Checklist
When updating the version number, always update these files:
1. `wp-fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices.php` (Plugin header)
2. `CHANGELOG.md` (Add new version section)
3. `readme.txt` (Stable tag and Changelog section)
4. `README.md` (Update Changelog section to match readme.txt)
5. Update `FPDEN_VERSION` constant in the main plugin file
**IMPORTANT**: Always ensure README.md is kept in sync with readme.txt for consistency across platforms.
## Git Workflow
### Branch Naming Convention
- Feature branches: `feature/descriptive-name`
- Bug fix branches: `fix/issue-description`
- Release branches: `v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}`
### Commit Message Guidelines
- Use present tense ("Add feature" not "Added feature")
- Start with a verb
- Keep the first line under 50 characters
- Reference issues when relevant: "Fix #123: Resolve plugin detection issue"
### Pre-Release Checklist
Before creating a new release, verify the following:
- [ ] Determine the correct version increment (MAJOR, MINOR, or PATCH) based on the changes
- [ ] Ensure all changes are documented in CHANGELOG.md
- [ ] Verify all code changes are tested and working correctly
- [ ] Check that all files are properly formatted and follow WordPress coding standards
- [ ] Ensure Git Updater configuration is correct (if applicable)
### Release Process
1. Create a new branch for the version: `git checkout -b v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}`
2. Update version numbers in ALL required files:
- `wp-fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices.php` (Plugin header)
- `FPDEN_VERSION` constant in the main plugin file
- `readme.txt` (Stable tag)
- `README.md` (Ensure changelog is updated)
- `languages/wp-fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices.pot` (Project-Id-Version)
- Any other files that reference the version number
3. Update CHANGELOG.md with all changes
4. Update readme.txt changelog section
5. Update README.md changelog section to match readme.txt
6. Commit changes: `git commit -m "Prepare release v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}"`
7. Test changes locally on the version branch
8. When satisfied with testing, merge to main:
```
git checkout main
git merge v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH} --no-ff
```
9. Push main to all remotes:
```
git push github main
git push gitea main
```
10. Create and push a tag to trigger the GitHub Actions workflow:
```
git tag -a v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH} -m "Release version {MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}"
git push github refs/tags/v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}
git push gitea refs/tags/v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}
```
11. Verify the GitHub Actions workflow completes successfully
## Build Process
The build process is handled by `build.sh`:
1. Updates version numbers
2. Installs composer dependencies
3. Copies files to build directory
4. Creates ZIP file
To manually build the plugin:
```
./build.sh {MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}
```
## Remote Repositories
The plugin is hosted on multiple repositories:
- GitHub: https://github.com/wpallstars/wp-fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices
- Gitea: https://gitea.wpallstars.com/wpallstars/wp-fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices
- WordPress.org: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices/
Always push changes to all remotes to keep them in sync.
## GitHub Actions
The repository uses GitHub Actions for automated builds and deployments:
- Triggered by tags matching the pattern `v*`
- Builds the plugin
- Creates a GitHub release
- Deploys to WordPress.org
## Testing Guidelines
Before releasing:
1. Test with the latest WordPress version
2. Test with PHP 7.0+ (minimum supported version)
3. Verify all features work as expected
4. Check for any PHP warnings or notices

# Bug Fixing Guide for AI Assistants
This document provides guidance for AI assistants to help with bug fixing for the Fix Plugin Does Not Exist Notices plugin.
## Bug Fixing Workflow
### 1. Create a Bug Fix Branch
Always start by creating a bug fix branch from the main branch:
```bash
git checkout main
git pull github main
git checkout -b fix/bug-description
```
Use a descriptive name that clearly indicates what bug is being fixed.
### 2. Understand the Bug
Before fixing a bug, make sure you understand:
- What is the expected behavior?
- What is the actual behavior?
- What are the steps to reproduce the bug?
- What is the impact of the bug?
- What is the root cause of the bug?
### 3. Fix the Bug
When fixing a bug:
- Make minimal changes necessary to fix the bug
- Avoid introducing new features while fixing bugs
- Maintain backward compatibility
- Add appropriate comments explaining the fix
- Consider adding tests to prevent regression
### 4. Update Documentation
Update relevant documentation to reflect the bug fix:
- Add a description to CHANGELOG.md under an "Unreleased" section
- Update readme.txt if the bug fix affects user-facing functionality
### 5. Testing
Test the bug fix thoroughly:
- Verify that the bug is fixed
- Ensure no regression in related functionality
- Test with the latest WordPress version
- Test with the minimum supported WordPress version (5.0)
- Test with PHP 7.0+ (minimum supported version)
### 6. Commit Changes
Make atomic commits with clear messages:
```bash
git add .
git commit -m "Fix #123: Brief description of the bug fix"
```
If there's an issue number, reference it in the commit message.
### 7. Prepare for Release
When the bug fix is ready to be released:
1. Create a version branch for the release:
```bash
git checkout -b v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}
```
2. Merge your bug fix branch into the version branch:
```bash
git merge fix/bug-description --no-ff
```
3. Update version numbers and changelog entries
4. Follow the standard release process from this point
### 8. Push to Remote (Optional for Collaboration)
If you need to collaborate with others on the bug fix before it's ready for release:
```bash
git push github HEAD:fix/bug-description
git push gitea HEAD:fix/bug-description
```
### 9. Create Pull Request (Optional)
If the repository uses pull requests for code review, create a pull request from the bug fix branch to the version branch.
## Determining Version Increment
After fixing a bug, determine the appropriate version increment:
- **PATCH** (e.g., 1.6.0 → 1.6.1): For most bug fixes that don't change functionality
- **IMPORTANT**: Always increment the patch version for every change, even small ones, to make rollbacks easier if issues are found in testing
- **MINOR** (e.g., 1.6.0 → 1.7.0): For bug fixes that introduce new features or significant changes
- **MAJOR** (e.g., 1.6.0 → 2.0.0): For bug fixes that introduce breaking changes
## Testing Previous Versions
To test a previous version of the plugin:
```bash
# Checkout a specific tag for testing
git checkout v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}
# Or create a test branch from a specific tag
git checkout v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH} -b test/some-feature
```
## Hotfix Process
For critical bugs that need immediate fixing in a released version:
### 1. Create a Hotfix Branch
```bash
git checkout v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}
git checkout -b hotfix/v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH+1}
```
### 2. Fix the Issues
Apply the minimal fix necessary to address the critical issue.
### 3. Update Version Numbers
Increment the PATCH version and update all version numbers:
- Main plugin file (fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices.php)
- FPDEN_VERSION constant
- CHANGELOG.md
- readme.txt
- README.md
- languages/fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices.pot (Project-Id-Version)
### 4. Commit and Push
```bash
git add .
git commit -m "Hotfix: Brief description of the critical bug fix"
git push github HEAD:hotfix/v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH+1}
git push gitea HEAD:hotfix/v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH+1}
```
### 5. Create and Push Tag
```bash
git tag -a v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH+1} -m "Hotfix release version {MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH+1}"
git push github refs/tags/v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH+1}
git push gitea refs/tags/v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH+1}
```
## Common Bug Types and Fixing Strategies
### WordPress Compatibility Issues
- Test with the specific WordPress version where the issue occurs
- Check for deprecated functions or hooks
- Review WordPress changelog for relevant changes
### PHP Compatibility Issues
- Test with the specific PHP version where the issue occurs

- [ ] Are translation functions used correctly?
### Accessibility
- [ ] Does the code follow accessibility best practices?
- [ ] Are ARIA attributes used appropriately?
- [ ] Is keyboard navigation supported?
- [ ] Is screen reader support implemented?
## Code Review Process
### 1. Understand the Context
Before reviewing code, understand:
- What problem is the code trying to solve?
- What are the requirements?
- What are the constraints?
### 2. Review the Code
Review the code with the checklist above in mind.
### 3. Provide Feedback
When providing feedback:
- Be specific and clear
- Explain why a change is needed
- Provide examples or suggestions when possible
- Prioritize feedback (critical issues vs. minor improvements)
- Be constructive and respectful
### 4. Follow Up
After the code has been updated:
- Review the changes
- Verify that issues have been addressed
- Provide additional feedback if necessary
## Common Issues to Look For
### PHP Issues
- Undefined variables or functions
- Incorrect function parameters
- Missing return statements
- Improper error handling
- Inefficient loops or conditionals
- Hardcoded values that should be configurable
### WordPress-Specific Issues
- Incorrect hook usage
- Missing or incorrect nonces
- Missing capability checks
- Direct database queries instead of using WordPress functions
- Improper enqueuing of scripts and styles
- Not using WordPress functions for common tasks
### JavaScript Issues
- Undefined variables or functions
- Event listener memory leaks
- jQuery conflicts
- Browser compatibility issues
- Missing error handling
### CSS Issues
- Browser compatibility issues
- Specificity issues
- Unused styles
- Overriding WordPress admin styles inappropriately
## Example Feedback
### Good Feedback Example
```
In function `handle_remove_reference()`:
1. The nonce check is missing, which could lead to CSRF vulnerabilities.
Consider adding:
```php
if (!isset($_GET['_wpnonce']) || !wp_verify_nonce($_GET['_wpnonce'], 'fpden_remove_reference')) {
wp_die(__('Security check failed.', 'fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices'));
}
```
2. The user capability check should be more specific. Instead of:
```php
if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) {
```
Consider using:
```php
if (!current_user_can('activate_plugins')) {
```
This is more appropriate for the action being performed.
3. The success message should be translatable:
```php
// Change this:
add_settings_error('fpden', 'fpden_removed', 'Plugin reference removed successfully.', 'updated');
// To this:
add_settings_error('fpden', 'fpden_removed', __('Plugin reference removed successfully.', 'fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices'), 'updated');
```
```
### Poor Feedback Example
```
This code has security issues and doesn't follow best practices. Fix it.

```
"Project-Id-Version: Fix 'Plugin file does not exist.' Notices {MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}\n"
"POT-Creation-Date: YYYY-MM-DDT00:00:00+00:00\n"
```
#### d. readme.txt
Update the stable tag:
```
Stable tag: {MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}
```
Add a new entry to the changelog section:
```
= {MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH} =
* New feature 1
* New feature 2
* Change 1
* Change 2
* Fixed bug 1
* Fixed bug 2
```
Update the upgrade notice section:
```
= {MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH} =
Brief description of the most important changes in this release
```
### 3. Commit Changes
```bash
git add fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices.php CHANGELOG.md readme.txt README.md languages/fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices.pot
git commit -m "Prepare release v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}"
```
### 4. Test Changes Locally
Test the changes thoroughly on the version branch to ensure everything works as expected:
- Test with the latest WordPress version
- Test with PHP 7.0+ (minimum supported version)
- Verify all features work as expected
- Check for any PHP warnings or notices
### 5. Merge to Main
When satisfied with testing, merge the version branch to main:
```bash
git checkout main
git merge v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH} --no-ff
```
The `--no-ff` flag creates a merge commit even if a fast-forward merge is possible, which helps preserve the branch history.
### 6. Push Main to Remotes
```bash
git push github main
git push gitea main
```
### 7. Create and Push Tag
```bash
git tag -a v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH} -m "Release version {MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}"
git push github refs/tags/v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}
git push gitea refs/tags/v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}
```
### 8. Monitor GitHub Actions
Open the GitHub Actions page to monitor the build and deployment process:
https://github.com/wpallstars/fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices/actions
### 9. Verify Release
- [ ] Check that the GitHub release was created successfully
- [ ] Verify that the plugin was deployed to WordPress.org
- [ ] Test the plugin from WordPress.org to ensure it works correctly
## Testing Previous Versions
To test a previous version of the plugin:
```bash
# Checkout a specific tag for testing
git checkout v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}
# Or create a test branch from a specific tag
git checkout v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH} -b test/some-feature
```
## Rollback Procedure (If Needed)
If issues are discovered after release:
### 1. Create a Hotfix Branch
```bash
git checkout v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}
git checkout -b hotfix/v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH+1}
```
### 2. Fix the Issues
Make the necessary changes to fix the issues.
### 3. Update Version Numbers
Increment the PATCH version and update all version numbers as described above.
### 4. Test the Hotfix
Test the hotfix thoroughly to ensure it resolves the issue without introducing new problems.
### 5. Commit Changes
```bash
git add .
git commit -m "Fix issues in v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}"
```
### 6. Merge to Main
```bash
git checkout main
git merge hotfix/v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH+1} --no-ff
git push github main
git push gitea main
```
### 7. Create and Push Tag
```bash
git tag -a v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH+1} -m "Hotfix release version {MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH+1}"
git push github refs/tags/v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH+1}
git push gitea refs/tags/v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH+1}
```
### 8. Monitor and Verify
Follow steps 8 and 9 from the release process to monitor and verify the hotfix release.

# WordPress.org Plugin Repository Assets
This directory contains assets specific to the WordPress.org plugin repository and is used for automatic deployment via GitHub Actions.
## Directory Structure
```
/assets/
icon-256x256.png
icon-128x128.png
banner-772x250.png
banner-1544x500.png
screenshot-1.png
```
## Purpose
When using GitHub Actions for WordPress.org plugin deployments (via the 10up WordPress GitHub Actions), this directory is used to automatically update plugin assets in the WordPress.org repository.
## Naming Conventions
Files must be named exactly as shown above to be properly recognized by the WordPress.org system during the deployment process.
## Right-to-Left (RTL) Support
For plugins that support Right-to-Left languages (like Hebrew and Arabic), you can provide RTL versions of assets by appending `-rtl` to the filename:
- `banner-772x250-rtl.png`
- `banner-1544x500-rtl.png`
- `icon-256x256-rtl.png`
Note that the `-rtl` suffix is specifically for Right-to-Left language support, not for dark mode versions of assets.
## Additional Resources
For more detailed information about WordPress.org plugin assets, please see:
- [WordPress Plugin Developer Handbook - Plugin Assets](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/plugin-assets/)
- [WordPress Plugin Directory README.txt Standard](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/how-your-readme-txt-works/)

Easily remove references to deleted plugins that cause "Plugin file does not exist" errors in your WordPress admin.
## Description
Have you ever deleted a plugin some other way than through the /wp-admin/plugins.php page? If so, you've probably been stuck with this annoying notification that can't be cleared:
Have you ever deleted a plugin directly from the server or database and then been stuck with annoying error notifications that can't be cleared?
"The plugin folder-name/file-name.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist."
This small WordPress utility plugin adds a "Remove Reference" button to these plugin deactivation error notices, allowing you to clean up the invalid plugin entries in the database.
This small utility plugin adds missing plugins to your WordPress plugins list and provides a "Remove Notice" link, allowing you to safely clean up invalid plugin entries with one click.
When WordPress detects a plugin file that no longer exists but is still referenced in the database as active, it displays an error notice. This plugin enhances those notices with a button that allows you to safely remove the invalid reference with a single click.
**Note:** This plugin doesn't have a settings page. Its functionality is limited to running on the WordPress admin plugins page only.
You can find these with `SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'active_plugins';` — but the cleanup involves removing the rogue entry, and renumbering all others. This plugin can simply do that for you at the click of a button added to that WP standard notification.
### Key Features
It's probably something that should be added to WP core. If anyone from the core team wants to adopt this solution, it's GPL, so feel free.
* Adds missing plugins directly to your plugins list
* Provides a simple "Remove Notice" action link
* Works with both single site and multisite WordPress installations
* Includes helpful notifications explaining how to fix plugin errors
* One-click auto-scroll to find missing plugins in large sites
* Clean, user-friendly interface following WordPress design patterns
Note: This plugin only needs to be installed and active if you have an error notification showing at /wp-admin/plugins.php, like this:
"The plugin folder-name/file-name.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist."
### How It Works
If you don't have this notification perpetually showing on your /wp-admin/plugins.php page, then you don't need this, but you might like to save or bookmark it for if ever you do.
When WordPress detects a plugin file that no longer exists but is still referenced in the database as active, it displays an error notice. This plugin:
## Features
1. Detects all missing plugin references in your database
2. Adds them to your plugins list with "(File Missing)" indicators
3. Provides a "Remove Notice" link to safely remove them
4. Shows clear notifications guiding you through the cleanup process
5. Safely removes the missing active plugin reference from your database using standard WordPress functions
6. Leaves all remaining plugins installed and active
* Adds a "Remove Reference" button to plugin error notices
* Works for both single site and multisite WordPress installations
* Confirms before removing any plugin references
* Simple, lightweight solution with no settings page required
* Secure implementation with proper permissions checking
* Compatible with WordPress 5.0+
### Use Cases
* You've accidentally deleted a plugin via FTP
* A plugin was removed by another admin but references remain
* You've migrated from another site and have leftover plugin references
* Your hosting provider removed a plugin but didn't clean the database
## Installation
1. Upload the plugin-reference-cleaner.php file to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. No configuration needed - the plugin works automatically
### From WordPress.org:
1. Visit Plugins > Add New in your WordPress admin
2. Search for "Fix 'Plugin file does not exist.' Notices"
3. Click "Install Now" and then "Activate"
### Manual Installation:
1. Download the plugin ZIP file
2. Go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin
3. Upload the ZIP file
4. Activate the plugin
## Usage
1. Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins
2. If any "Plugin file does not exist" error notices appear, a "Remove Reference" button will be displayed
3. Click the button and confirm to remove the invalid plugin reference
4. The page will refresh with the error notice removed
1. After activation, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins
2. If you have missing plugin errors, you'll see them in your plugins list with "(File Missing)" markers
3. Click the "Remove Notice" link next to any missing plugin
4. The reference will be removed, and the error notification will disappear

### 1.3.1
* Added instructional notification explaining how to use the plugin
* Improved user guidance with step-by-step instructions
* Enhanced visual identification of missing plugins

* Improved error message detection for greater compatibility
* Enhanced DOM traversal to find notification elements
Yes, the plugin works on both single sites and multisite installations. It properly handles network-activated plugins as well.
### 1.2.2
* Fixed timeout issue during plugin activation
* Improved hook management to prevent potential infinite recursion
* Optimized performance by only loading on plugins page
### How do I know which plugin references should be removed?
### 1.2.1
* Fixed typos in documentation
* Improved text clarity
* Added question mark to first sentence for better readability
The plugin will only show "Remove Notice" links for plugins that are listed in your database but don't actually exist in your plugins directory. These are safe to remove.

* Improved documentation with detailed explanation
* Added SQL reference for technical users
* Suggested potential inclusion in WordPress core
### Will this break my site?
### 1.1
* Improved error handling
* Added support for multisite installations
* Enhanced security with proper capability checks
No. Since the plugin is only removing references to plugins that no longer exist, removing these references won't affect your site's functionality. In fact, it's cleaning up remnants that might be causing issues.
### 1.0
* Initial release
### What if I accidentally remove a reference I shouldn't have?
If you remove a reference to a plugin that you later want to reinstall, simply install the plugin again and activate it normally.
### Do I need to keep this plugin installed and active after notices are cleared?
Although this plugin consumes minimal disk space, and doesn't run unless you are on the /wp-admin/plugins.php page, you don't need to keep it active or installed if you don't have this notice to clear — but it is safe to, if you just want it as a part of your overall WordPress stack of enhancements and conveniences.
### How do I fix the "Plugin file does not exist" error in WordPress?
This error occurs when WordPress has a reference to a plugin in its database, but the actual plugin files are missing. Our plugin provides a simple one-click solution: it adds these missing plugins to your plugins list with a "Remove Notice" button that lets you safely remove the database reference.
### Why do I see "The plugin has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist"?
This error appears when you've deleted a plugin's files (via FTP or file manager) without properly deactivating it first through the WordPress admin. WordPress still thinks the plugin should be active but can't find its files. Our plugin helps you clean up these references.
### Can this plugin fix errors after migrating a WordPress site?
Yes! After migrating a site, you might see plugin errors if some plugins weren't transferred correctly. This plugin will help you identify and clean up those references without having to edit the database directly.
### Is it safe to remove plugin references that show "Plugin file does not exist"?
Absolutely. If WordPress is showing this error, it means the plugin files are already gone, and you're just cleaning up a database reference. Our plugin uses WordPress's standard functions to safely remove these references without affecting other plugins or site functionality.
### How is this different from manually editing the database?
Manually editing the WordPress database is risky and requires technical knowledge. Our plugin provides a safe, user-friendly way to remove plugin references directly from the WordPress admin interface without any SQL knowledge or database access.

# WordPress.org Plugin Submission Assets Guide
This document explains how to prepare and upload assets for WordPress.org plugin submission. This is the main reference document for all asset-related information.
## WordPress.org SVN Repository Structure
When submitting a plugin to WordPress.org, you'll work with an SVN repository that has this structure:
```
/assets/ # Contains assets for the WordPress.org plugin page
icon-256x256.png
icon-128x128.png
banner-772x250.png
banner-1544x500.png
screenshot-1.png
/tags/ # Contains tagged releases
/1.6.27/
[plugin files]
/1.6.26/
[plugin files]
/trunk/ # Contains the current version of the plugin
[plugin files]
```
## Right-to-Left (RTL) Support
For languages that read from right to left (like Hebrew and Arabic), you can provide RTL-specific versions of your assets by appending `-rtl` to the filename. For example:
- `banner-772x250-rtl.png`
- `icon-256x256-rtl.png`
Note: `-rtl` is specifically for Right-to-Left language support, not for dark theme versions.
## Asset Requirements
### Icon
- **Format**: PNG
- **Sizes**:
- Required: 256x256 pixels (`icon-256x256.png`)
- Optional: 128x128 pixels (`icon-128x128.png`)
- **Location**: Upload to the `/assets/` directory in the WordPress.org SVN repository
- **Status**: ✅ READY - Files are in `assets/icon/`
### Banner
- **Format**: PNG
- **Sizes**:
- Required: 772x250 pixels (`banner-772x250.png`)
- Optional: 1544x500 pixels (`banner-1544x500.png`) for high-DPI displays
- **Location**: Upload to the `/assets/` directory in the WordPress.org SVN repository
- **Status**: ✅ READY - Files are in `assets/banner/`
### Screenshots
- **Format**: PNG
- **Naming**: `screenshot-1.png`
- **Location**: Upload to the `/assets/` directory in the WordPress.org SVN repository
- **Status**: ✅ READY
- `screenshot-1.png` is available in `assets/screenshots/`
## Submission Process
1. **Prepare Plugin Files**:
- Ensure all plugin files are ready in your local repository
- Make sure version numbers are consistent across all files
2. **Prepare Assets**:
- Ensure all assets follow the naming conventions above
- Verify that screenshots match the descriptions in readme.txt
3. **Upload to WordPress.org**:

# WordPress.org Plugin Submission Assets Guide
This document outlines the requirements for assets when submitting a plugin to the WordPress.org plugin repository.
## Asset Requirements
### Icon
- **Format**: PNG
- **Size**: 256x256 pixels
- **Filename**: `icon-256x256.png`
- **Location**: SVN `/assets` directory (not included in the plugin zip)
- **Optional**: You can also include `icon-128x128.png` for backward compatibility
### Banner
- **Format**: PNG
- **Sizes**:
- Regular: 772x250 pixels (`banner-772x250.png`)
- High-DPI: 1544x500 pixels (`banner-1544x500.png`)
- **Location**: SVN `/assets` directory (not included in the plugin zip)
### Screenshots
- **Format**: PNG
- **Naming**: Sequential numbers (`screenshot-1.png`, `screenshot-2.png`, etc.)
- **Location**: SVN `/assets` directory (not included in the plugin zip)
- **Important**: The number and order must match the descriptions in the `readme.txt` file
## Current Status
### Icon
- ✅ SVG source available in `assets/icon/icon.svg`
- ✅ PNG files created in `assets/icon/icon-256x256.png` and `assets/icon/icon-128x128.png`
### Banner
- ✅ Both sizes available in `assets/banner/`
- ✅ Properly named files: `banner-772x250.png` and `banner-1544x500.png`
### Screenshots
- ✅ One screenshot available in `assets/screenshots/screenshot-1.png`
- ✅ Screenshot description in readme.txt updated to reference only one screenshot
## SVN Directory Structure
When submitting to WordPress.org, your SVN repository will have this structure:
```
/assets/
icon-256x256.png
icon-128x128.png
banner-772x250.png
banner-1544x500.png
screenshot-1.png
/tags/
/1.6.27/
[plugin files]
/1.6.26/
[plugin files]
/trunk/
[current plugin files]
```
## Action Items
1. Ensure all files follow the proper naming convention
2. Upload all assets to the WordPress.org SVN repository in the `/assets` directory using these commands:
```bash
# Copy assets to WordPress.org SVN assets directory
cp assets/icon/icon-256x256.png /path/to/wordpress-svn/assets/
cp assets/icon/icon-128x128.png /path/to/wordpress-svn/assets/
cp assets/banner/banner-772x250.png /path/to/wordpress-svn/assets/
cp assets/banner/banner-1544x500.png /path/to/wordpress-svn/assets/
cp assets/screenshots/screenshot-1.png /path/to/wordpress-svn/assets/
```

Easily remove references to deleted plugins that cause "Plugin file does not exist" errors in your WordPress admin. By Marcus Quinn (marcusquinn.com) & WP ALLSTARS (wpallstars.com).
== Description ==
Have you ever deleted a plugin some other way than through the /wp-admin/plugins.php page? If so, you've probably been stuck with this annoying notification that can't be cleared:
Have you ever deleted a plugin directly from the server or database and then been stuck with annoying error notifications that can't be cleared?
"The plugin folder-name/file-name.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist."
This small WordPress utility plugin adds a "Remove Reference" button to these plugin deactivation error notices, allowing you to clean up the invalid plugin entries in the database.
This small utility plugin adds missing plugins to your WordPress plugins list and provides a "Remove Notice" link, allowing you to safely clean up invalid plugin entries with one click.
When WordPress detects a plugin file that no longer exists but is still referenced in the database as active, it displays an error notice. This plugin enhances those notices with a button that allows you to safely remove the invalid reference with a single click.
**Note:** This plugin doesn't have a settings page. Its functionality is limited to running on the WordPress admin plugins page only.
You can find these with `SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'active_plugins';` — but the cleanup involves removing the rogue entry, and renumbering all others. This plugin can simply do that for you at the click of a button added to that WP standard notification.
= Key Features =
It's probably something that should be added to WP core. If anyone from the core team wants to adopt this solution, it's GPL, so feel free.
* Adds missing plugins directly to your plugins list
* Provides a simple "Remove Notice" action link
* Works with both single site and multisite WordPress installations
* Includes helpful notifications explaining how to fix plugin errors
* One-click auto-scroll to find missing plugins in large sites
* Clean, user-friendly interface following WordPress design patterns
Note: This plugin only needs to be installed and active if you have an error notification showing at /wp-admin/plugins.php, like this:
"The plugin folder-name/file-name.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist."
= How It Works =
If you don't have this notification perpetually showing on your /wp-admin/plugins.php page, then you don't need this, but you might like to save or bookmark it for if ever you do.
When WordPress detects a plugin file that no longer exists but is still referenced in the database as active, it displays an error notice. This plugin:
== Features ==
1. Detects all missing plugin references in your database
2. Adds them to your plugins list with "(File Missing)" indicators
3. Provides a "Remove Notice" link to safely remove them
4. Shows clear notifications guiding you through the cleanup process
5. Safely removes the missing active plugin reference from your database using standard WordPress functions
6. Leaves all remaining plugins installed and active
= Use Cases =
* You've accidentally deleted a plugin via FTP
* A plugin was removed by another admin but references remain
* You've migrated from another site and have leftover plugin references
* Your hosting provider removed a plugin but didn't clean the database

1. Upload the `wp-fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. No configuration needed - the plugin works automatically
4. If you have missing plugin errors, you'll immediately see them in your plugins list with "Remove Notice" links
== Usage ==
== Frequently Asked Questions ==
1. Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins
2. If any "Plugin file does not exist" error notices appear, a "Remove Reference" button will be displayed
3. Click the button and confirm to remove the invalid plugin reference
4. The page will refresh with the error notice removed
= Is it safe to remove plugin references? =
Yes, this plugin only removes entries from the WordPress active_plugins option, which is safe to modify when a plugin no longer exists. It doesn't modify any other database tables or settings.
= What happens after I remove a reference? =
The plugin entry will be removed from your active plugins list, and the corresponding error notification will no longer appear after you refresh the page.
= Can I use this plugin on a multisite installation? =
Yes, the plugin works on both single sites and multisite installations. It properly handles network-activated plugins as well.
= How do I know which plugin references should be removed? =
The plugin will only show "Remove Notice" links for plugins that are listed in your database but don't actually exist in your plugins directory. These are safe to remove.
= Will this break my site? =
No. Since the plugin is only removing references to plugins that no longer exist, removing these references won't affect your site's functionality. In fact, it's cleaning up remnants that might be causing issues.
= What if I accidentally remove a reference I shouldn't have? =
If you remove a reference to a plugin that you later want to reinstall, simply install the plugin again and activate it normally.
= Do I need to keep this plugin installed and active after notices are cleared? =
Although this plugin consumes minimal disk space, and doesn't run unless you are on the /wp-admin/plugins.php page, you don't need to keep it active or installed if you don't have this notice to clear — but it is safe to, if you just want it as a part of your overall WordPress stack of enhancements and conveniences.
= How do I fix the "Plugin file does not exist" error in WordPress? =
This error occurs when WordPress has a reference to a plugin in its database, but the actual plugin files are missing. Our plugin provides a simple one-click solution: it adds these missing plugins to your plugins list with a "Remove Notice" button that lets you safely remove the database reference.
= Why do I see "The plugin has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist"? =
This error appears when you've deleted a plugin's files (via FTP or file manager) without properly deactivating it first through the WordPress admin. WordPress still thinks the plugin should be active but can't find its files. Our plugin helps you clean up these references.
= Can this plugin fix errors after migrating a WordPress site? =
Yes! After migrating a site, you might see plugin errors if some plugins weren't transferred correctly. This plugin will help you identify and clean up those references without having to edit the database directly.
= Is it safe to remove plugin references that show "Plugin file does not exist"? =
Absolutely. If WordPress is showing this error, it means the plugin files are already gone, and you're just cleaning up a database reference. Our plugin uses WordPress's standard functions to safely remove these references without affecting other plugins or site functionality.
= How is this different from manually editing the database? =
Manually editing the WordPress database is risky and requires technical knowledge. Our plugin provides a safe, user-friendly way to remove plugin references directly from the WordPress admin interface without any SQL knowledge or database access.
