 * I need to deactivate all plugins to solve another problem, but no matter how 
   many times I click “deactivate” or “delete”, the WP Missed Schedule plugin (version
   2013.0730.7777) remains unchanged.
 * This happens whether I try to deactivate it on its own, or whether I do it in
   bulk along with all other plugins. Obviously I cannot delete it either, since
   I cannot deactivate it and you cannot delete an activated plugin
 * Here’s the details of the system I’m running:
 * Mem: WP 40M Usage 43% 27.72M Limit 64M *

   Upload 100M Debug: State 0 Display 1 Log 0 Script 0 Deprecated 8192

 * Please try:
 * 1 – Click Deactivate or Delete it more and more 🙂
 * 2 – After re-download and reinstall it to fix this rare and unfrequent problem
   🙂
 * Thanks you for using my plugin 😉

 * Have clicked and clicked repeatedly. Nothing happening at all when I click deactivate.
 * I can’t click delete as it can’t be deactivated. I also can’t reinstall as it
   can’t be deactivated.

 * Try to delete it via ftp …
 * What is the site url?
    Is a fresh WordPress installation or upgraded?
 * This plugin not have this issue: this problem is related to WordPress installation,
   APC, Memcached or similar …
