# Object cache preventing activation/deactivation plugins

 * I am using nginx w/ varnish in front.
 * This worked perfectly fine for the longest time. Now when the object cache is
   enabled, I cannot deactivate/activate plugins. Once I disable the object cache,
   the plugins will update to whatever state (activated/deactivated).
 * The only way to disable/enable any plugin on my install is it disable object 
   cache, changed the plugin, then enable the object cache.
 * I have other sites on this server (Linode VPS) that are not exhibiting this behavior.
   It started about a month ago on one installation that has been using W3 Total
   Cache for years. I’ve tried uninstalling and removing the plugin files and re-
   installing but the problem will not go away.
