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:
- Click Extensions in the navigation pane and go to My
Extensions. - 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.
