Deactivating S2 leaves S2 member levels?

I have deactivated S2 until I am sure that it will work for me. However, in doing so, I see that all the S2 member levels still exist in WordPress now.

Why are they still here and how do I get rid of them?

Deactivating is not the same as un-installing.

s2member stores those values in the standard wordpress options table in the standard wordpress array.

So they probably only remove them during the plugin removal process instead of adding and removing every time the plugin is activated and deactivated.

First I deactivated it, then I deleted it, both from the WP Dashboard.

All the S2 user categories remain.

Hmm the only reason I could think of for leaving them in there is just in case the are in use by some members when the plugin is deleted. Being linked to a non-existant role would probably cause some errors for users.

Anyway, I just tried this plugin and it looks like it works pretty well: User Role Editor

You can find it by searching the new plugins section of your wordpress install.

You can edit role capabilities but it also offers the option to create or delete user roles.

Hope that helps
