# Plugin status vs. Marfeel status

The MarfeelPress plugin can be installed and activated independently of the status of Marfeel on a given site: the plugin itself can be active, with Marfeel being inactive.

This article explains the difference between those statuses.

# MarfeelPress status

In WordPress, plugins can be installed but inactive. The plugin should be "active" even while the Marfeel version is inactive.

Check if MarfeelPress is active on a given site with either of these URLs:

Look for the namespaces array: it should contain marfeelpress/v1.

Expected output:


 






"namespaces": [
  "marfeelpress/v1",
  "oembed/1.0",
  "yoast/v1",
  "yoast/v1/myyoast",
  "wp/v2"
]

If none of the URLs work, it is impossible to know if the plugin is active.

If one of the URLs work but doesn't contain marfeelpress, the plugin is inactive.

# Marfeel status

Tenants using MarfeelPress can activate and deactivate Marfeel directly from their plugin Settings page. Read more about Marfeel activation.

MarfeelPress exposes an API to check Marfeel Status.

TIP

If the plugin is active, but Marfeel is OFF, extractions still happen. This allows Marfeelers to work on the tenant, or debug any issue. If the plugin is deactivated, Marfeel can't access any configuration nor any article.

# Plugin version

Wordpress sites don't always have automatic updates enabled for their plugin. For this reason, several versions of MarfeelPress are used at the same time by different sites.

MarfeelPress version follows this convention: v.2.0.build_number.

Find the latest released version on the WordPress website (opens new window).

How to check last MarfeelPress version

You can compare this version with the one installed on a given site by two different means:

  1. The Wordpress Info Page of a tenant in MarfeelInsight lists all the installed plugins and their version. Find MarfeelPress in this list.

  2. Directly navigate to this URL:

https://{TENANT_URI}/wp-content/plugins/marfeelpress/README.txt (opens new window)

Expected output:
