Can’t Deactivate Plugins to Create MultiSite

  • Hello

    I am trying to setup a WordPress multisite, converting my current installation into a multisite installation. In order to configure the network I need to deactivate all of my plugins. Sounds easy.

    But, after deactivating all of my plugins the admin screen still shows (1) next to the active plugin filter. When I click it to show me which plugin is active it returns nothing. I count 14 installed plugins, but the total showing is 15.

    Has something not uninstalled properly and left a database entry that is making a mess of things? Any ideas on how to figure out what the problem is?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Hey!

    That’s an odd issue to have. Do you have FTP access to your server? A quick way to deactivate all plugins at once (and usually for good since your issue is odd) is to rename the plugins folder: wp-content/plugins to something like plugins0 and refresh your Dashboard (well, the Plugins page). All plugins should now be deactivated.

    Let’s see what happens after you do that. Hopefully, everything will be deactivated and then you can move forward with getting your site to multisite. Also, make sure you rename the plugins0 directory back to plugins.
