 * Not sure this is in the correct forum, but here goes:
 * I am creating a custom tarball for my WP installations. I have a couple of plugins
   that I am activating automatically and then also updating the options using:
 * update_option(‘option_name’,’variable_that_I_want_in_the_field’);
 * It works fine as far as updating the option in mysql. Once WP is installed, said
   plugin is installed, activated and the options are listed correctly, but I still
   have to click “Update” for the options to be committed and the plugin actually
   work.
 * What am I doing incorrectly or what should I add to the code to rectify this?
 * Thanks in advance.
