Uninstalling Articles

to find and change the class_key of ArticlesContainer to modDocument in the site_content table. That’s done.

In MODX 3 use MODX\Revolution\modDocument instead of just modDocument.

There are a bunch of items in the table with a class key of Article, which are posts that were in Articles. Do I need to do something with these as well?

Change the “class_key” column for these resources as well.

It’s possible I messed this up by uninstalling the quip before articles.

It seems that Quip was a subpackage in the Articles transport package. That usually gets messy, when you manually uninstall the subpackage first.

One way to fix it, could be to “Reinstall” Articles first, and then uninstall it again.

But if all the Articles data in the database (snippets, chunks, category, namespace (menu → Namespaces)) already got removed successfully, then maybe it’s simpler to remove the rest by hand.

• Remove the line(s) in the database table modx_transport_packages.
• Delete the zip transport package and the unzipped folder in core/packages.
• Make sure the directories core/components/articles and assets/components/articles got deleted.
