Reply To: What’s wrong with my plugin?
@azaleamollis
Because its not as a straightforward process as it should be these are the the steps I took to remove my plugins from the WP repo.
1.) Send the request to plugins@wordpress.org to remove the plugin using the same email you used when submitting the plugin make sure you state your reason why, be it personal or lack of time to support the plugin etc..
2.) Log into the SVN and delete all of the relevant php in the files between the opening and closing php tags.
3.) As long as you don’t update the readme.txt then current users will continue to be able to use your plugin unless the code is somehow depreciated. If that happens then they will have to figure it out on their own or find another solution. If you don’t want even your current users using your plugin then update the readme.txt as a higher version number with the empty php files which will basically render the plugin completely useless when it is updated.
Dirty trick but it gets the job done! Good luck!
