Gravity Forms error: Failed to initialize plugin: wpInsertPages

Yes, I tried both options, and I get the error either way.

I have the latest version of gravity forms, and the error was happening with all other plugins disabled and default twenty twenty-five theme. You’re correct however — when I tried a fresh installation in a test environment, I didn’t have any errors there. I used ChatGPT to try to diagnose what might be going on in my specific environment, and it gave me a suggestion that worked, if this is helpful for anyone else:

Add this temporarily to functions.php and then visit any admin page once, which will run the snippet. Then it can be removed from functions.php:

add_action( 'admin_init', function() {
    global $wpdb;

    // Only delete known Insert Pages transient or options safely by name
    $wpdb->query( "DELETE FROM {$wpdb->options} WHERE option_name IN ('insert_pages_settings', 'insert_pages_mce_plugin')" );

    // Remove any user meta keys that specifically mention wpInsertPages
    $wpdb->query( "DELETE FROM {$wpdb->usermeta} WHERE meta_key LIKE '%wpInsertPages%'" );
});

It seems something was stuck in the database somewhere, even after I updated Insert Pages and cleared all other caches. The snippet cleared everything out and everything is working now.
