Phoca download plug in destroyed the website

Post by icbl »

I just installed the Phoca Download plug in to the new Joomla 3.7.2 and back end/front end completely destroyed. Website has gone now.

I wanted upload screenshots but no option here unfortunately.

Update: I installed fresh Joomla website 372 and uploaded the plug in again. Confirmed. If you install it you will lose your website.

Hi,
Website has gone now.
Yes, because the Phoca Download Plugin is not able to work without the Phoca Download Component.
Disable the plugin via phpMyAdmin in:
yourprefix_extensions table.
Then install Phoca Download Component and enable the Plugin again.

Kind regards,
Benno

Yes I deleted and site got back to online.
On the download page I see only plug in. Where shoud I download the components?

Edit: You know what. I'll stay away from this product. Thank you so much at least website is up again.

Hi,
Where shoud I download the components?
https://www.phoca.cz/download/category/ ... -component

Kind regards,
Benno

Edit:
How to disable the Plugin: phpMyAdmin --> your database --> yourprefix_extensions --> plg_content_phocadownload --> Edit --> enabled=(it's now set to 1, you must set it to)0 --> Save (OK Button)
Now this plugin is disabled and you can access your site again.
