I’m a newbie at this but there is an entry in the wp_options table for active_plugins. It is a long string listing all the active plugins and a bunch of parameters for each one. Also, the string begins with something like A;12(… where the 12 is the number if active plugins. You can use phpMyadmin to edit that field. Delete the reference to your plugin and all its parameters (the pattern is fairly easy to recognize) and reduce the number at the front (12 in this case) by one.

Probably hss its risks but has worked for me.

If you delete the whole field it deactivates all your plugins without deleting them. Useful when you think a plugin is causing a problem.

Yes, I found useful information there. But not anything that seemed to apply to my plugin problem. I will search again for addresses that point wrongly but haven’t found them yet. Could be something calculated by a WP function, I suppose. I’ll probably never find that.

Ah, I’m sorry. There is a misunderstanding. IN actuality I did try some local installs on my netbook in a Kubuntu partition, with varying degrees of unsuccess, but the install in question is on a server. 1and1.com is the host. I had previously just used it as a private website and installed WP in a subfolder.

Thank you. I should have looked for this info before I started this project. Would have made it simpler. Still, I don’t find anything that refers to my problem with the plugins. Indeed, it seems to imply that moving the plugins should just work.
