# Activate plugin manually

 * I mistakenly deactivated the plugin, and have in place a redirect to a page with
   the wpb-login shortcode. I found a support article to update the wp-options table
   and it’s active_plugins fields to reactivate your plugin, but I imagine that 
   something has to actually run to set up the shortcode etc.
 * Is there anything I can do manually to reinstate the functionality of the plugin,
   i.e. simulate the Activate Plugin process?
 * Many thanks
    Pete
