    Thumbs up How to remove Attracta plugin from cPanel

    Well i tried the Attracta SEO tools plugin for cPanel and i would not recommend it, i thought it may add some free SEO tools for clients but it basically just adds a bunch of links to 3rd party websites (not free) so i decided to remove it, what a nightmare, well i finally figured out how to remove it 100% so i thought id share instructions here, hopefully this will save somebody a headache

    1. Unregister the plugin from WHM /usr/local/cpanel/bin/unregister_appconfig attractaseo-acv2-1
    2. Then remove the Hooks from WHM in WHM >> Development >> Manage Hooks
    3. Run each of these below

    rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/Attracta*
    rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/Attracta*
    rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Attracta*
    rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/*/*/*attracta*
    rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/*/*/*attracta*
    rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/addonfeatures/attracta_*
    rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/bin/attractaadmin
    rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/bin/attractawrap
    rm -rf /var/cpanel/registered_cpanelplugins/attracta_*
    rm -rf /home/*/.attracta*
    rm -rf /var/cpanel/attracta*
    rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/attracta*
    rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/attracta*
    rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/attracta*
    rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/ThirdParty/Attracta*
    rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Config/ConfigObj/Driver/Attracta*
    rm -rf /root/.attracta*
    rm -rf /var/cpanel/dynamicui_grouporder/attracta
    rm -rf /var/cpanel/activate/features/attracta
    rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/install/attracta*
    rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/themes/x/icons/attracta.png
    rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/templates/software_components/attracta.tmpl
    rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/attracta.cgi
    rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/src/3rdparty/other/attracta*
    rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/install/Attracta*
    rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/bin/update-attracta

    4. Then run /usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild_sprites
    5. Then run crontab -e to remove the cronjobs

    And now you should be Attracta free

    We hate offering it, but our clients love it - for some reason. Have you thought of just disabling the external links and just keeping the basic submit/publish of sitemap etc? as that's all a customer really needs/wants anyway. (Can be done via feature manager, FYI)
