Topic: Deleted the Prett URL mod but URL Remains the same?

[nadeem34]

Hello every one

I am in big trouble please help me
At the beginning i thought pretty_url is good mod for SEO but as time passed and looked over review regarding this mod i decided to remove and delete it. After deleting it disappeared from "browse packages" and "installed packages" in the admin area.

But URL still remains the same nothing changed I don't know why? and in the "MOdify boards" sections pretty url option is still there to change the url for boards. How is this possible? isn't it very funny!

Deleting the package does not uninstall it.
You should uninstall the package first...

Try uploading the package again. You should then be able to uninstall. Delete the package only after successful uninstall...

I had same issue after properly uninstalling the package.

The uninstall didn't remove the entries in htaccess.  Remove those, and your issue will resolve.  Reference the package install xml to find the precise lines to remove.

[nadeem34]

What exactly did you delete?

Before few days By mistake, I moved public_html to newly created folder. At once my site stopped working i felt i did something wrong so I reverse the process. Though my website start working but some mods including pretty urls that were installed in admin area "browse packages" they appear as not installed and even not showing in "installed packages" (but at site all the mods were working properly urls were pretty and other mods were also working but in admin area they appeared as not installed)

Today:  I tried to look over this problem so I clicked on "install package"(pretty urls) in the "browse packages" It showed me the error that you are installing this package but it will not install successfully but still i installed it and ignored the error. As the package installed at once website stopped working and shows this error https://discusscryptocurrency.com/. Then i deleted the pretty url from cpanel not worked again and i upload it again but still not worked and now begging help from you

 am i so stupid.!!!

   At this point, best thing you can do is upload a clean set of files.  You won't lose any content, but you'll have to reinstall the mods you wish to keep.  If it's any consolation, you learn more by screwing things up than if you get it right first time.

check if your host is using php 7.2, if so you need to downgrade to at least 7.0 as SMF 2.0 does not support php 7.2. this may resolve the other errors you are getting as well.

This is not host error the error is somewhere in the coding or files

Please help me...

if you follow the directions on the wiki page it tells you to use the large upgrade, you are using the installer.

also the error you got about Function create_function() is deprecated in /home/username/public_html/Sources/Load.php on line 268 is from php 7.2, which SMF 2.0 does NOT support.

I am using smf 2.0.15. I changed the php version but it still shows the database error.

it tells you to use the large upgrade, you are using the installer.

Please explain the above quote again what deos it means

[Kindred]

you went to the downloads page and downloaded the full install archive.

don't do that.

go to the downloads page and download the one UNDER that...  the one labelled "Large Upgrade" (which is what the Wiki says to do)
