“New Question” and “Ask” do not resolve to anything

Cannot add new questions:

“New Question”  in wp-admin  as well as “Ask Question” in the front end do not resolve to anything. One just times out and the other shows 404.   I have a “Base page” set and I have refreshed my permalink settings multiple times with no affect.

How Do I completely remove AnsPress including all settings and table values and start from scratch?   Checking the “Clean DB” check box does nothing, when I try to delete the plugin after selecting this option it gets stuck saying “Deleting….” with no action. I have to delete via SFTP and manually remove DB tables.   I have tried that once and reinstalled with no luck (same problem arises). What tables other than theses are modified?

  • _ap_activity
  • _ap_activitymeta
  • _ap_meta
  • _ap_notifications
  • _ap_subscribers

Last bit of relevant info: I am using this in a multisite environment with only one other site in the install and it is not leveraging anspress.

Thanks. Looking forward to 4.0

thanks for the response @Cagliostro ! Garbage collector doesn’t seem to like multisite so I will have to do it manually.

Is there anywhere that I can find a exhaustive list of all of the places Anspress writes data?

Removing the tables leaves some settings intact when I reinstall which leads me to belive there is some data saved to the _options table.

 

Other than the below tables, where else are settings saved?

  • _ap_activity
  • _ap_activitymeta
  • _ap_meta
  • _ap_notifications
  • _ap_subscribers

Thanks everyone!!

I don’t think there is anything more apart from the above 5 tables.

Well, Anspress 4 will not do you any good. The 404 errors are something that have to do with your WP setup/server or some plugins. Definitely not a problem of 3.0.7.

As for uninstall you are right, there seems to be some problem. You better manually remove the db tables or use this

to cleanup (use with caution and after a backup and not sure if multisite is supported).

To further clarify.  Another issue that is happening (And I would imagine would benefit from a fresh start) is that the old questions that were created before attempting to remove/reinstall are still showing up in the question count but are not populating in the question view (see photo).   Really I just need to scrub my install clean of AnsPress and start from the beginning.
