I had some old mods installed when i had IPB 2.0.4 and now I have upgraded to 2.1 and under the tools and settings tab there are some options left over from 2.0.4 mods and when I click I get this message:



I was wondering if anyone knows how to remove old mod settings?

Thanks,
Aaron

Yes I am wondering the same thing .

Well since the mod probably protected it's settings, your gonna have to go into phpmyadmin or w/e mysql management tool you have, go into conf_settings_titles, look for the settings name, remember its id number, delete it, then go into conf_settings and deleting the settings with the name conf setting group number, then recache the settings if theres a cache for it.

It's very easy

Go into the View All General Settings page, hover your mouse over the group to remove, and look for this part of the URL:


The number there in the red is our critical piece of data. Use that to run the following queries in your SQL Toolbox:




Replace the XX in those queries with the number from above.

Next, it would be a good idea to update your settings cache by going into ACP -> Maintenance -> Cache Control, then click the update button on the settings cache row. Hope this helps.
