I am not using anything – I have a vanilla installation of WordPress, and I see the same thing – not only for the admin, but for everyone.

I run on a https server. Now, initiallyI had to nicely change all the hardcoded https:// bits to https:// to get it working – can it be related to that?

Okay – let me trey again:

I re-installed WP152 this morning(again).
Immediately I see 3 available plugins:
Hello Dolly ………… Activate
Markdown ………… Activate
Textile1 ………… Activate

This is normal, I think.

Then I do:
Hello Dolly ………… <click>
Markdown ………… Activate
Textile1 ………… Activate

And I see:
<new little box>Plugin activate!!</new little box>
Hello Dolly ………… Activate
Markdown ………… Activate
Textile1 ………… Activate

Should Hello Dolly not show:?
Hello Dolly ………… Deactivate
Markdown ………… Activate
Textile1 ………… Activate

Then I add wp-polls, after having read the non-rocket-science readme.txt, and after having clarified everything with the plugin author, and lo and behold – it behaves exactly the same.

Which is why I believe (my) WP152 does not activate it plugins.

Also: Can anyone perhaps explain the rationale behind active_plugins in the wp_options table? How does it work, what does the different bits of the value mean?

Okay, I get the ACTIVATE bit, but I have a similar problem.

I also saw that if you hit ACTIVATE, it comes back and says “Plugin activated” in the top bar. Problem is, it only says that – it does not do it.

Proof: I loaded a new plugin (wp-poll) and did everything according to its installation readme. As soon as I reference functions from the new plugin, it kills my blog page.

How can I see (in a file, in the db, anywhere???) that a plugin is uactuallyu active?

I followed all the instructions, and everything kind of worked … up to where I had to go back to the blog to see how it looks – I just get a blank page.
If I remove the <?php vote_poll(); ?> from <my_theme>/header.php I see the blog home page, but if I put it back, the page goes white again.
I also had a look at putting it in <my_theme>/index.php, as was suggested, but it has the same effect, so that is definitely not the answer.
Can anyone help me, plz??

Also: you said to remove the $submenu[polls-manager.php…. entries in wp-admin.php -> Funny, but I did n ot have those entries to start with. Is this an indication of problems?
