 * Plugin activation fails. This seems to be an issue with a lot of plugins since
   upgrading to 3.5.1
    In apache error log I see the following: File does not exist:/
   usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/
   bitcoin-payments-for-woocommerce, referer: http://**siteXYZ**.com/wp-admin/plugins.
   php
 * Plugin is activated according to plugin page, and shows up in Payment gateways,
   but Bitcoin gateway option remains disabled even after manually enabling the 
   payment gateway.
 * I’ve no idea if this is an issue on my side generally, or if it’s an issue of
   some change in WP 3.5.1 causing a tonne of plugins to fail. Incidentally, I also
   have plugins that work fine…
    Idea’s?

 * Just re-tested it with the latest version of WordPress 3.5.1, latest WooCommerce
   update.
    Activates just fine and settings are available.
 * Try deactivating everything and retry – sometimes other rogue plugin can cause
   this.

 * Thanks Gesman. Unfortunately no. I’ve run into this before long ago after a WP
   update, but WP fixed the problem a few days later. More recently the same issue
   came up but WP folks are saying it’s not their issue and to discuss with plugin
   maintainers. The WooCommerce guys sent me a patch for one of their plugins which
   fixed the problem, but I suspect as very few people are having this issue, it’s
   gotta be something infrastructure side, that happens to be repairable on the 
   plugin side as well. I suspect though, that fixing on the plugin side may not
   be the right answer.
    *le sigh*.

 * Could it be your hosting account / file system permissions issues?
    I’d help 
   if i could reproduce this…
