Remove rewrite rules generated by plugin during deactivation‎

1 Views

I have a simple plugin like the following 

add_action('generate_rewrite_rules', function ($wp_rewrite)
{
    $wp_rewrite->rules = xxx + $wp_rewrite->rules;
});

if (is_admin())
{
    register_activation_hook( __FILE__, function() {
        flush_rewrite_rules(FALSE);
    });

    register_deactivation_hook(__FILE__, function() {
        flush_rewrite_rules(FALSE);
    });
}

When I activate this plugin, the rewrite rule is being updated and in effect, cool! However, when I deactivate the plugin, the rewrite rule cannot be flushed automatically.

I need to manually flush by at the permalinks settings page.

So how to modify my plugin code so no manually flushing is needed during plugin deactivation?

  1. You’re adding your rewrite rules to $wp_rewrite->rules, but then not removing them before calling the flush during deactivation. Add code to your deactivation function to remove the stuff you added to $wp_rewrite->rules before calling flush_rewrite_rules().
