“ERROR UNINSTALLING (plugin name)” with unverified plugin

[jonathanknight]

I’m having an issue that I’ve seen another person have. When trying to uninstall an unverified plugin named Coupert it’s saying “error uninstalling Coupert.”
I just wonder if it’s safe or not to even use ChatGPT. Need guidance or help uninstalling please, thank you!

Same issue here. I cannot uninstall the unverified plugins

In my case, this error appears when uninstalling the ChatWithGPT plugin.

Plug-ins switch to “unverified” when the developer submits an update to some of the meta data - so there’s no need to uninstall.

Message: "ERROR UNINSTALLING (plugin name)" with unverified plugins - is this a Malware?

Just to give some insight into what is happening. A plugin can switch from verified to unverified when the developer makes a change to the plugins manifest file. This is a small file that contains meta information such as the plugin name, description, logo, legal info link etc… Changing any of the content in this file will switch the plugin into “unverified” and OpenAI will need to review the plugin and approve it again. So, bottom line, there’s nothing to worry about. It’s a temporary thing…

Thanks, but there is something to worry about because all other plugins are unusable at this time. Temporary, is days now.

Did your problem get solved? Because same issue here. Always getting “Error communicating with plugin service. Please try again later.”

No luck my friend. I have a couple of plugins with “Error uninstalling” message.
