Vanilla active_plugins record?

  • Hello,

    I’m trying to manually blow out all my plugins because my plugins page is borked. Just deleting them from the plugins directory hoses my entire blog. What I’m trying to do is to empty the active_plugins record in the wp-options table at the same time I delete all the plugin files from the plugin directory.

    Problem is, I can’t quite figure out the ’empty’ setting for the active_plugins record even though I’ve gone through a bunch of default installation files.

    So, if I were a brand new WP install (1.5.1.3) with NO plugins enabled, what would me active_plugins record look like in the wp-options table?

    Thanks!

  • If your blog is breaking because you deactivate a plugin (which is what you are effectively doing) then you need to remove all calls to plugin functions.

    A plugin that is ‘activated’ is simply loaded – nothing else.

    The default option_value is this:
    a:1:{i:0;s:0:"";}

    but your blog will still break if there is a function being called which is in a plugin.

    Thanks.

    Yeah – I know this is going to be ugly…but I really can’t figure out how else to fix it. There’s a plugin that has rendered both my plugin and theme pages unusuable. So, I’m going to default the plugin value and then remove all the calls and see what happens. If my admin functions come back, then I’ll re-add the plugins one by one until I know which one is broken.

    That’s the best plan I can come up with.

    Thanks!
