# Plugin Reference Cleaner
|
|
|
|
A WordPress plugin that adds a "Remove Reference" button to plugin deactivation error notices, allowing users to clean up invalid plugin entries in the database.
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
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 only needs to be installed and active if you have an error notification showing like this:
|
|
"The plugin folder-name/file-name.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist."
|
|
|
|
