# Can't activate this plugin

 * I am unable to activate this plugin. It used to work fine, but for some reason
   now it is not. I am wondering if there is a way of adding an entry to active_plugins
   in the wp_options table of the database, i.e. manually activating the plugin?
   I can enable other plugins in the admin area, so not sure what the issue is with
   this plugin. I have tried deleting the plugin and reuploading, but still no joy.
 * Any help would be appreciated.
 * Thanks,
 * Nick
