If you’re no longer using the WC Variation Images plugin or switching to another solution, you can easily uninstall it from your WordPress site. This guide walks you through the safe removal of both the Free and Premium (Pro) versions, including license deactivation and optional data cleanup.
Important: Uninstalling the plugin will disable all its features immediately. Any related configurations or enhancements will no longer function.
If You’re Using the Pro Version
Before uninstalling the free version, make sure to uninstall the Pro version first. This ensures proper removal of licensed features and avoids potential conflicts.
Uninstalling The Free Version
To completely remove the WC Variation Images (Free) plugin from your site:
Step 1: Deactivate the Plugin
- Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
- Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins.
- Find WC Variation Images in the list.
- Click Deactivate (this option appears only when the plugin is active).
Step 2: Delete the Plugin
- Once the plugin is deactivated, you will see the Delete option appear beneath the plugin name.
- Click Delete and confirm when prompted to remove the plugin from your site permanently.
Uninstalling The Premium Version
Step 1: Deactivate Your License (Recommended)
Before uninstalling, you should deactivate your license to free up usage for other domains or future reinstallation.
Deactivate via WordPress:
- Go to Plugins > Installed Plugins.
- Locate WC Variation Images Pro.
- If the license is active, click Deactivate (you’ll see this option under the plugin details).
Deactivate via PluginEver Dashboard:
- Visit PluginEver My Account.
- Navigate to License Keys.
- Find your active license and click on Manage Sites.
- Click Action > Deactivate Site next to the relevant domain.
Step 2: Delete the Plugin
- Return to Plugins > Installed Plugins.
- Once the Pro plugin is deactivated, click Delete to remove it from your site.
This removes plugin files but may retain database options unless the plugin is configured to clean up on uninstall (see next step).
Step 3: Remove Plugin Data (Optional – Full Clean)
Built-In Clean-Up Option (If Available)
If your version offers a setting to remove plugin data:
- Go to WooCommerce > Variation Images > Advanced (or similar path based on your plugin settings).
- Look for a setting like “Delete plugin data”.
- Enable the option.
- Then, proceed to clean up the plugin data by clicking on Save Changes.
