   just one day and then next day when i try to activate it says: “The additive 
   is not activated due to critical error .”

 * Check the error log on your server. Should be error.log in your public_html directory.
   That should give you a specific error. I’ll be able to help you more from there.

 * Well, it’s complicated i think.. because i check error.log but does not show 
   a relative error. I check and apache logs, but nothing there. I install plugin
   log viewer with debug true on wpconfig.php file but still nothing. Just the message“
   The additive is not activated due to critical error.”
 * I don’t know really.. any idea?

 * That’s odd. I’m stumped on what could be causing that error. Never heard of that
   until now.
