    This is the 3rd time im posting regarding this topic. I
   badly need your help please help me out.
 * The problem is whenever I activate a plugin it says ” Plugin activated. ” But
   I can it still shows the Activate link and it seems to be inactive. But After
   a day or so when Its activated I donno why it takes that much time to activate?

 * Rite now im having 2.0.1 please help me out to fix this bug.
 * The at the same time its working fine in my local machine.

 * First, who is your webhost ?
    Second – and this should not make any difference–
   turn the cache off. Add this line to wp-config.php:
 * `define('DISABLE_CACHE', true);`
 * And what else have you tried, how many plugins have you tried, has this always
   happened ? Please give us lots of details 🙂

 * Dear Podz,
    Thanks a lot for your quick response.
 * 1. My Webhoster is located in India.
 * 2. I tried with the code which you gave
 *  define(‘DISABLE_CACHE’, true);
 *  This is working fine My plugin got activated immediately but the problem is
 * once when i close the window and try to open it back i can able login again
 * For example:
    I can able to see only the login page once when give username and
   password I’m seeing only a blank page and not my admin page. Why is it so?
 * I tried logging in from other systems too but in vain.
 * Please let me know how to fix this problem.
 * Eagerly waiting for your reply.

 * If your problem has anything to do with your cache, you should make sure that
   the cache directory is writable by the web server ( which is the user WordPress
   uses ). If you cannot change the permissions on that directory, you should as
   your web host.
 * Another important thing: Are you sure that all plugins you activate or try to
   activate are compatible with WP 2.0 or 2.01?

 * podz: Any/all my plugins were suddenly not reliably responding to being activated/
   deactivated in admin. The topline response text ‘confirmed’ the actions to have
   occurred but they did *NOT ACTUALLY* occur.
 * webhost = self
    define(‘DISABLE_CACHE’, true); // this resolved the issue
 * Disabling your (wp) cache worked and the plugins now respond appropriately and,
   indeed, their indicated status matches that promised by the disingenuous topline
   response text;~/
 * This has only just happened. I was working intensively to produce a working mechanism
   to (try to) deter my current injection email scripting ruffians, using PuTTY 
   to telnet POST commands, the Bad Behaviour plugin was activated/disactivated,
   various site/s navigation and some site admin work.
 * I intend to keep disabled your (wp) cache as the sheer trouble it and those that
   ran before it have offered to ameliorate a few micro or milliseconds of response
   delay beggars my belief. We’re talking blogs here not the national archives at
   the BBC.
