Yet Another “please enable javascript”, this time with no plugins active.

Hello everybody. I get the well known “Error, please enable javascript and try again…” message every time I log in to my WordPress blog. I tried to disable all the plugins (via phpMyAdmin) with no success. Then I tried to disable them by renaming the plugins/ directory and it worked, or at least I’ve been able to log in. After logging in, I renamed back the directory and all my plugins were back and running, I just had to enable them. Then I logged out. Then I logged back in and here we go again.

This time I renamed the directory, I logged in, I re-renamed the directory and logged out leaving all the plugins disabled, then I logged back in. And there it is again, the infamous error. So my best guess is that some plugin is playing bad at include time, or something (I’m not so familiar with WordPress’ plugin system). I also excluded it was Firefox’s fault, since I get the same error with Chromium (Google Chrome source distribution).

The only way I can think of to find out which plugin is acting weird is deleting all of them and then putting them back one at a time but it’s something I’d rather not do unless it’s necessary, since as you can easily guess, it’s quite a lot of work given I have no shell other than ftp in my remote host.

So here’s the content of the directory, maybe some of you knows who’s bad.
