 * I installed the Plugin Organizer plugin and tried activating it, but it refuses
   to do so. I tried reinstalling it; same situation. I’ve had trouble deleting 
   a plugin before using the WP plugin interface (so I just deleted via FTP) but
   never activating… not sure what to do.
 * Running Avada theme version 5.2.2 (current version with all patches installed),
   WP version 4.8.2, I am sure additional info is needed here, just don’t know what
   it might be, so please ask if needed!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fplugin-will-not-activate-19%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Is there anything in your server logs? PHP errors? MySQL errors? Do you mean 
   you click activate and nothing happens? Or does something happen?

 * It looks like your site is using cloudflare. Is your site cached?

 * Hi Jeff, yes, the site is cached, and when I click “activate” WordPress says 
   it’s been activated in a confirmation message at the top of the plugin screen,
   but when I scroll to the plugin, it is not activated. I haven’t seen this happen
   with the other plugins we have, so not sure what is causing it.
 * Super excited to use it, though!

 * It’s working now. Maybe it just needed 24 hours to be recognized for some reason?

 * That definitely sounds like your caching is causing the problem.
