 * I can’t deactivate version 2013.0730.7777
 * I’ve deactivated all other plugins, but when I click deactivate on yours, it 
   just refreshes the page, and still shows enabled.

 * I deactivated it via the database using this guide [http://perishablepress.com/quickly-disable-or-enable-all-wordpress-plugins-via-the-database/](http://perishablepress.com/quickly-disable-or-enable-all-wordpress-plugins-via-the-database/)
   but I still would like to know why I couldn’t disable it before.

 * If you are using APC or Memcached, or the internal cache SimplePie, it is said
   that the DashBoard immediately reflect the changes or settings.
 * Maybe it was enough simply try again a second time?
 * It is not the first time I’ve heard of plugins that you do not uninstall, especially
   on WordPress updated several times without installing it fresh.
 * Perishable procedure was made ​​for older versions of WordPress prior to 2.9 
   and then was updated, but it is still very outdated documentation. Who can really
   say what the consequences after using this procedure?
 * If in the past we have used other similar procedures, although in good faith,
   directly on the database, even if everything seems to be going well, after a 
   long time who can really say what might happen in WordPress?
 * Also if you use your custom functions (function.php) or custom settings, after
   a long time who can really say what might happen in WordPress?
 * Try to manual install version 5555 or 6666 and after update it to 7777 from DashBoard
   plugin update function. If update work fine, your problem is another 🙂 Update
   Plugin, on fact, deactivate the plugin before upgrade it, and after reactivate
   it automatically … Versions 5555, 6666, and 7777 have same type of coding …
 * I will consider the report for future developments.
 * Thanks for your report 😉
 * Know you Sharí?
