How to remove plugins?

What are the basic plugins installed when installing Grav? What is the proper method for removing plugins?

I have searched the documents (which mentioned removing plugins, but doesn’t say how). I searched the forums, and there doesn’t seem to be a proper way to remove plugins described anywhere. I have had my site for a while, and installed some plugins, and don’t think I’m using most of them. I appreciate the help.

I guess one of the simple things I overlooked, I can simply disable the plugin, and see if the site continues to work properly. That is simple, and yes, I did over look that. However, the proper steps to removing them, are yet to be determined.

Well, disabling plugins, I broke my staging site (glad it was staging!!!) I found running bin/grav install will tell me these plugins are needed for my site.

Now I just need to enable them manually. Still doesn't answer the question how to remove plugins properly, or how to easily tell what ones are required.

The best way to remove your plugins is in your hosting, removing the folder of plugin.

Ok, thanks! Of course they should be disabled first.

Somehow I totally broke my staging site…. So I may go with a clean install on the staging site, and rebuild the site that way. I did find one plugin that was no longer maintained.

On the GUI things of Grav on the Plugins page, if you click the name, it takes you to settings, and from there, you can disable the plugin, and remove it. I think that is actually the right way with the Admin Panel installed.

I'm a little shocked by the lack of response on the forums. This is the only place I know to find help.

You can find more help in Discord

I'm not on discord. :D I will stick to here.

Thank you for clarifying this, Shane. This was helpful.
