Deleted plugin Lost categories and topics
Quote from spyder0 on March 9, 2020, 4:30 pmI know there is already a thread on this but i didnt see the answer i’m looking for.
I would like to know if there’s a way to restore the forum structure after an uninstall. I recently had malware removed from my site by Sucuri.net then I manually deleted aand reinstalled all plugins. Now the categories and topics are gone. I was unaware that uninstalling deletes everyting as MOST plugins i use retain al their data and settings upon reinstall. My question is..if they were removed due to an uninstall is there still a way to restore the structure and topics and categories ? Will restoring my WP database from a backup restore the forum structure?

Restoring a database-backup should restore your forum as well. Uninstalling the plugin removes all data and keeps no old trash behind. Usually there is no need why re-installing a plugin should be required. If you want to replace the files only, you can do this manually via FTP.
