How to disable an extension on the back-end

KuneneSandziso

I installed an extension and it showed the error below so now I want to disable it, how can I do it?

Flarum encountered a boot error (RuntimeException) Route fof.terms.api.policies.delete already exists thrown in /home/$$$$$/domains/xstraa.com/public_html/vendor/flarum/core/src/Http/RouteCollection.php on line 80

KuneneSandziso easiest way is to use composer again:

composer remove <extension>

KuneneSandziso

what about without composer

Go to PHPMyAdmin and search for %enable%, locate the settings table and delete the extensions that are enabled.

giter Thanks, this actually worked

giter To be honest now I feel invincible. I can install any extension I want and know how to remove it if it gives me problems. 😆 . What if I want to install extinsion, is it possible to install it the long way e.g. Download from github, add some codes to composer files, upload the extensions and enable them on sql query. Is it possible?

The Extiverse helper can also enable and disable extensions with ssh/cli. See https://extiverse.com/helper

KuneneSandziso add some codes to composer files

That is the only reason you cannot download a zip from somewhere and just upload it. It will not be recognized.

ohh ok. One last thing.

My website crashes and shows the following code when I enable "discussion views" extension. It started doing that after upgrade.

Experienced an error while booting extension: Discussion views. Error occurred while applying an extender of type: Closure. thrown in /home/xstraac1/domains/xstraa.com/public_html/vendor/flarum/core/src/Extension/Extension.php on line 142
