 * Hello,
 * I just recently installed and activated your plugin – looks great.
    it seems 
   that its working well and after a while (or few redirections?) the plugin gets
   deactivated – using latest version of wordpress as of today.
 * what could be the reason for this? please help

 * Update: Now it seems like it won’t activate the plugin.
    I keep pressing Activate–
   getting the notification that plugin activated on top screen but it appears to
   be deactivated in plugins below it.
 * I have a feeling that its got to do with the cache plugins in place…

 * The plugin has no inbuilt function to deactivate itself. So something seems to
   be wrong.
 * If you cannot activate the plugin because of an error, you usually see an error
   message with more details. It is most likely that another plugin deactivates 
   it. Usually plugins don’t deactivate other plugins, but maybe you have one that
   does some kind of “housekeeping”?
 * Is it possible to
    - try again after you deactivated all other plugins?
    - see if you can deactivate and reactivate other plugins or if the problem appears
      only with this plugin?
    - turn on [debugging](https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress) (particularly
      with WP_DEBUG_LOG) and see if there are any helpful messages?
