plugin disappeared from wordpress about events-made-easy HOT 3 CLOSED

Reason for wp: https://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/forums/topic/security-release/
Concerning your github problem, see the install instructions for existing users:

– Take a database backup to be sure
– Download the zip “events-made-easy.zip” from the latest release on github ( https://github.com/liedekef/events-made-easy/releases )
– Go in the WordPress ‘Plugins’ menu, and click on “Add new”
– Select the zip you downloaded, this will upload the zip and replace the existing installation without losing data
If the file is too big for uploading, try again with “events-made-easy-minimal.zip” (which is a minimum version of the previous release, after which a regular update will present itself).
If still too big, or you need to use FTP/SSH: use your favorite upload tool to upload the contents of the zip file to the /wp-content/plugins/events-made-easy directory (remove the old files first)
– After that, updating the plugin will be as usual in the backend

If you have upload issues, try the minimal-hint above.

fixed it. i had to use a file manager plugin (or an FTP/SSH would do it) to discover that although the plugin seemed to have been deleted, there were still some stray files. once i deleted the folder, i was then able to upload the zip file as normal.

If you didn't delete the plugin first, wordpress would've proposed to replace it. But since probably the main plugin file was already deleted by you, wordpress couldn't detect the plugin name/version and thus could only report the problem about the directory existing. Your filemanager action (or doing it via ftp or ssh) was then the only method left indeed.
