# Plugin Disables Itself

 * I have the latest version of this plugin installed on a WordPress 3.7.1. site
   we are building.
 * I install it. Activate it. Get it up and running on the widget section I want.
   Works perfectly, but it will then disable itself a few hours after me enabling
   it.
 * I thought I was going mad, but no. No one else has access to the site, no one
   even has front end access as it’s on one of our development servers.
 * I’ve never seen this behaviour in WordPress before, so any idea why this might
   be happening and how to fix will be useful.

 * Hi Michael
 * Thanks – I did the “return true” trick, but the plugin stills deactivate itself.
   I’ve have checked, and checked again, that the file is indeed tricked, and activated
   the plugin a couple of times.
 * It’s pretty strange. 🙂

 * Peter,
 * So even `function tw_requirements_check() { return true; }` doesn’t work?
 * Is this the premium or free version?

 * Hi Michael
 * Yes, the “return true” trick doesn’t work, so maybe it is a issue in includes/
   libraries/aihrus-framework/requirements.php?
    I think I’ll try to comment out
   the “deactivate_plugins” lines in that file, and see what happens. 🙂
 * It is the free version, but I’ll buy the premium to support your great support.
   🙂 Can I safely upgrade from the free version?
 * Thanks

 * You can safely disable and deactivate the free given you have not checked the
   delete data on delete option. The premium version includes the free as a library.
 * On deactivation, this is strange. Are you using latest 2.18.4?
 * If so, please email an admin login to [support@aihr.us](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-disables-itself/page/support@aihr.us?output_format=md).
   Do note that I’m quite busy these days and it’ll take me a bit to get to this.

 * New release coming next week to help resolve or at least explain why.
