 * Hi,
 * I tested your plugin on a stand-alone WP install and it worked as it was designed
   to. I then installed it in a network environment and network activated. No changes
   perceived.
 * So I deactivated it. navigated to one of the network sites and attempted to activate
   it. The plugin page was blank. I then navigated to a second network site and 
   it’s plugin page was fine. Both network sites have exact same setup and theme
   and both plugin pages looked perfectly fine a few hours before the network activation.
 * Is there something I need to delete from table? I have not yet deleted the plugin
   files, only deactivated it.
 * Thanks,
    Erik

 * Erik,
 * This plugin doesn’t save any data in the database outside of a post meta value(`'
   stf_exclude'`), which would not effect the “plugin page” (I assume you mean the
   admin screen for plugins?).
 * When you disable it on the network admin, you are essentially making it unavailable
   to network sites, so it shouldn’t appear on those sites unless you enable it.
   This sounds like, perhaps, a conflict with [activating/deactivating from a network](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/activating-plugins-in-multisite?replies=23#post-2147386)
   versus single site perspective? ([Another article here](http://chrislema.com/plugins-in-wordpress-multisite/))
 * That said, once deactivated the plugin will not function. This plugin does one
   very simple thing – it removes functions from WordPress action hooks (`wp_enqueue_scripts`,`
   wp_print_head_scripts`, and `wp_print_scripts` from the `wp_head` action). If
   the plugin is deactivate, or the checkbox (post meta) for a specific post/page
   is selected, these functions remain in the action hooks and everything works 
   normally.
 * Because of the way action hooks work, these functions are always hooked into 
   the `wp_head` action, then unhooked by the plugin – upon each page load. If the
   plugin is deactivated, the functions are hooked in and work. The plugin can’t
   do anything if it’s deactivated, and if it is _not_ active those functions will
   be hooked into those actions and work normally.
 * Post meta would be removed upon deleting the plugin (through the admin interface,
   which will run the uninstall script which should clean the meta data). However,
   while the post meta would otherwise remain in the database, it will not _do_ 
   anything – it would just be “orphaned.”
 * Does that answer your question? I’m not entirely sure of the issue you’re having
   exactly, so if that doesn’t please be more specific on what is/isn’t being displayed
   and where.
 * Cheers,
    Joshua

 * Erik,
 * I just looked back through the code and noticed that I don’t actually have the
   uninstall script set up correctly to delete the post meta, but instead to delete
   the (currently unused) settings field. In the next version I’ll fix this to correctly
   remove the post meta.
 * That said, your issue would be unaffected by this – orphaned post meta (if any,
   as it would only exist if the meta box was used) would not cause blank screens
   or activation/deactivation issues.
 * A little more information on your issue, if it turns out to be specific to this
   plugin, and I’m happy to problem solve and include a solution in the next release.
   Do you have [debugging set up](http://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress)?
   If you’re getting a white screen of death, there is likely an error that is either
   [not being displayed](http://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress#WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY)
   or is (potentially) being saved in a [debug.log file](http://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress#WP_DEBUG_LOG).
 * Thanks,
    Joshua

 * Erik,
 * I’m closing this issue since I haven’t heard anything. I’m working on a new version
   that should be out soon, but I haven’t fully tested on multi-site yet. That’s
   on my list of to-dos, though. If you need further assistance, please use the 
   [Github Issues](https://github.com/joshuadavidnelson/scripts-to-footer/issues)
   or open a new thread on this forum.
 * Thanks,
    Joshua
