Can’t activate plugin

Just to confirm, you’re running WordPress 4.8.1, right? When you visit your plugins page and click activate, does nothing at all happen?

You can log PHP errors to a file called debug.log in your wp-content folder by adding the following lines to your wp-config.php file:

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );

If you try to activate it again, you can check the contents of that file to see if there’s any errors. Just make sure to remove the above lines and delete the file when done.

Hi:

I’ve done what you have told me and i get no errors.
When i try to activate it i just get a “plugin activated succesfully” message, but it’s not.

thank you

Weird. I’m sorry, I don’t know. Perhaps try deleting the plugin and then installing it again.

that worked

thank you

Please mark as resolved.

Done. ??
