Problems activating and deactivating plugins

  • I just upgraded to 2.2 and got my existing plugins re-activated successfully. However if I try to de-activate, for example the google search widget, I get a confirmation message of-
    “Are you sure you want to deactivate this plugin: “widgets/gsearch.php”?”
    I click on yes and get another screen with-
    “Are you sure you want to deactivate this plugin: “”?”
    It doesn’t matter how many times I click yes, I just get those 2 screens. I tried to install the 5 star rating plugin and I get those screens when I try to activate it.

    Would appreciate any ideas on how to solve this problem.

  • in the short-term, you can just delete the widget from your server. That’ll “deactivate” it for you.

    As for the long-term – I don’t know. But at least I can tell you how to deactivate it for now ??

    Aha, yeah I wasn’t sure if I’d really break a plugin by deleting it heh. You’re right though, that got rid of the unwanted one!

    I’ll keep trying with the others ??

    Couple of things I’ve just noticed, the plugin that won’t activate highlights white instead of yellow and I get the same confirmation message problem if I try to deactivate all plugins too.

    Have you tried changing out your theme? Maybe there’s something in your functions file that’s messing with it. You might try deleting *all* of your plugins and reactiviating them one at a time to see if that helps track down the “bad” one.

    That’s really all I can think of to do!
