Question

How to remove Sitejet Builder from a domain in Plesk?

Answer

As Sitejet simply uploads files to the domain's, to remove it just delete all files from its document root directory:

Warning: If you are unsure whether any files other than Sitejet ones have been manually added since the last publish date, create a backup the domain before proceeding.

  1. Log in to Plesk.
  2. Go to Domains > example.com > Dashboard tab > Files
  3. Select all files and directories in the document root (by default, httpdocs/).
  4. Click Remove.
In case that the domain still informs to be "Not published" apply this

To clear the information about being Not published, its required to remove some Sitejet domain's records from the Plesk psa database:

  1. Connect to the server via SSH
  2. Backup the Plesk database:

    # plesk db dump psa > /root/psa_$(date +%F).sql

  3. Delete Sitejet records for the affected domain, replace 'example.com' with your actual domain name:

    # plesk db "DELETE FROM dom_param WHERE dom_id=(SELECT id FROM domains WHERE name='example.com') AND param LIKE '%sitejet%';"

Note: To remove Sitejet buttons from the interface at a server level, uninstall the extension.

If non-Sitejet files have already been uploaded to httpdocs:

  1. Create a db dump:

    # plesk db dump psa > psa.dump

  2. Empty apsContexts table:

    # plesk db "delete from apsContexts"

  • Sadly the SiteJet cms.sithub.io/$number is still active
    There should be a method to start from scratch

    The new AI Feautre is already nice.

  • hi Angelo Pennella we  currently don't provide a "delete" feature for Plesk panel users for cms.sithub.io/$number. I can also request our developers to create a feature request for this.

    Could you please provide the number in cms.sitehub.io/$number so we can delete it for you?

  • This is an incomplete article. If someone activates SiteJet on a domain when they already had a website installed there previously (like WordPress) and they wish to return to the prior website, deleting all the files in the web root is going to wipe out all the prior website's files. 

    This guide should list the files that are likely created by SiteJet.

    It should also show how to ensure Plesk no longer sees SiteJet as being active on the domain. Even if you haven't published a SiteJet site's files to the web root folder, Plesk still shows SiteJet as being active.

  • Hi Julian,

    yes, please, implement such a deletion feature. I've run into the same trap and there's jsut no way to get delete a website and start from scratch at cms.sitehub.io/$number
