Standard uninstall (keep data)

You’ll remove the Structura plugin from your WordPress site but keep all of its data (campaigns, personas, logs, settings) so you can reinstall and pick up where you left off. This is the safe default.

If you want to wipe everything, see Full uninstall (wipe all data). If you’re unsure, do a standard uninstall first; you can always delete the data later.

Before you start

Decide whether you also want to deactivate your license on this site. You’ll have more control doing this step through the portal first, but it’s also fine to skip and handle it afterwards.

Steps

  1. In WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Installed Plugins.

  2. Find Structura in the list.

  3. Click Deactivate. Confirm in the dialog.

    At this point, the plugin is off. Its menu disappears from wp-admin. But its files are still on your server and all data is intact.

  4. Click Delete next to Structura on the same Plugins page.

  5. Confirm the deletion in the WordPress dialog.

    WordPress removes the plugin files from disk. Because “Wipe all data on uninstall” is off by default, the plugin’s database tables (campaigns, personas, logs, settings) remain in your WordPress database.

What happens next

Scheduled tasks stop. No more posts generated, no more channel dispatches. WordPress’s cron won’t find Structura’s hooks to call.

Already-published posts stay. Posts Structura wrote before the uninstall are regular WordPress posts now. They don’t disappear.

License activation remains. The site still counts as one of your plan’s activations from the portal’s perspective. If you didn’t deactivate first, and you want to re-use this slot on a different site, go to License keys & site activations and deactivate it there.

Connections on the cloud stay. Channel connections (LinkedIn, Slack, etc.) remain on the Structura cloud side. Reinstalling the plugin on the same site restores them.

If you reinstall later

Just install Structura again (see Install the plugin) and activate your license. The plugin finds its existing database tables and picks up where it left off — your campaigns are there, personas are there, logs are there.

If your activation was deactivated in the meantime and your license has seats available, the plugin re-activates automatically.

Checking the data is still there

After deleting the plugin files, you can confirm the data is still in your WordPress database (without reinstalling Structura):

  • Ask your hosting provider or DBA to list tables whose names start with wp_structura_ (or your site’s table prefix). Those are the plugin’s tables. If they exist, the data is there.

You don’t normally need to do this. Reinstall is the obvious check.
