If you ever encounter an issue with the incompatible plugin and have installed the plugin in PhpStorm, WebStorm, or any other JetBrains IDE. What I also faced was; I installed a plugin in PhpStorm and that plugin was not compatible with the newer version of PhpStorm.

The Problem:

The strange thing was there was no uninstall option in plugins and was always showing:
“ Plugin Error: Plugin “JSONOnlineViewer” is incompatible (supported only in IntelliJ IDEA).”

I thought it would be gone but it was always showing the issue in the first startup which I found very irritating.

The Solution:

You can always uninstall the plugin from your Mac or Windows or Linux going directly to the installation folder and delete the plugin to solve the issue.

For Mac:

Go to finder:

Browse to the path:

~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/PhpStorm/<version>/plugins/

<version>: You will find your version of PhpStorm there and go to plugins and remove the incompatible plugin.

For Windows:

C:\Users\<UserAccount>\<version>\config\plugins

Remove the plugin from there.

This solves your issue with the PhpStorm Plugin is incompatible (supported only in IntelliJ IDEA).
