 * When you edit a plugin within the editor and save it, it will sometimes change
   from
 * active -> inactive
 * This means any changes made in the editor are no longer applied after the file
   has changed to inactive.
 * Is there anyway to disable this as I like to do a lot of site editing while its
   live on my test environment.
