I should have realized that the files when unzipped should not have all been together - of course they should have been in subdirectories. Duh.</p> <p>Thanks for doing everything you could to fix this.</p> <p>This kind of customer service can make a company go far.</p> <p>Best of luck to you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/installation-gone-bad#post-183 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 23:54:29 +0000 Carl Hancock 183@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This has been resolved. The plugin files that were in the plugin folder were not correct and the folder structure for the plugin was not present. The plugin was deleted and re-uploaded and it worked fine. </p> <p>We are working with the customer to determine why the files uploaded were not correct and why the folder structure was not maintained which caused the plugin not to function properly. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/installation-gone-bad#post-182 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 22:41:52 +0000 Carl Hancock 182@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hey deb, temp access would be extremely helpful in debugging this issue. Do me a favor and drop me an email at carl-at-rocketgenius.com with the information and we will do what we can to get this resolved.

This is important because the uninstall deletes the database tables that are created, and in order to install from scratch there needs to be no Gravity Forms tables already in the database. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/installation-gone-bad#post-177 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 21:57:37 +0000 Carl Hancock 177@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Sorry Deb, just for clarification did you delete the plugin files entirely, reupload and then activate? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/installation-gone-bad#post-175 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 21:50:25 +0000 debid 175@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hey,<br /> I did check requirements - all ok.</p> <p>I re-installed from scratch.</p> <p>Still, does not work.
