Problems with plugin activation on the server. (9 posts)

    The problem is this: The site is installed on the regular server (not free one). When I upload a new plugin, everything is ok. I use FireFTP. When I try to turn the plugin on in my Dashboard, Firefox shows only a blank, white page, and nothing more I can do in the Dashboard. Everything is blocked, and whatever I click on, the result I get is a white, blank page. The only solution is access via server tools to delete the included plugin and everything is back to normal. That is happening already with a several plugins. Note that site is all the time running and have visitors. What is the problem and what is the solution?
    Thanks!

    Why don't you use the automatic installer in the admin Plugins > Add New ?

    OK, I'll try.
    Do you think that this will prevent problems?

    Nope. The same thing. I have no idea!

    Perhaps you downloaded a few incompatible plugins?

    No, everyone plugin is for WordPress v3.1.1.

    Try re-uploading all files & folders - except the wp-content folder - from a fresh download of WordPress.

    Are you sure that this will not break down the site? The site is already operational and has regular visitors so that would be a big problem ...

    No - it won't break anything providing you:

    - upload the same version of WordPress as you are currently using
    - stay well away from the wp-content folder.
