I have several items that are listed in Publishing services as missing plug-in. When I try to remove them I get the following:

Can't delete the published collection

An internal error has occured: ?:0:

attempt to index field

'publishSettings' (a nil value)

I'm using the latest 12.3 release of Lightroom Classic on iMac (2015) with latest OS

Thanks,

Have you tried reinstalling the plugin? And this would be withing the plug-in manager.

It’s not exactly a plug-in I think. They are all some sort of artifact from opening my SmugMug services and making changes to the folder hierarchy with SmugMug. I posed the question to SmugMug support but no answer yet. They refer, I believe to folders in SmugMug. No matter what I do I can’t get rid of them. I will look through the Lightroom area on my hard drive to see if I can find any reference to them as plugins

Thanks,

Lyle

Thanks for your feedback and all the time you spent. I think this software manifestation will go unsoved. I've done several catalog File> Exports As Catalog and feel comfortable proceeding in that direction.

Thanks,

I haven't had a chance to do a new catalog yet. I took the advice of most lightroom experts and put all of my photos from 6 different catalogs into one master and it's gor 600,00+ photos. I have to think this through before I try a new master catalog. I have to get rid of a lot of unneeded photos and duplicates. I wish Lightroom had a tool to look for duplicates.

Thanks so much for showing me alot of Lightroom info.
