 * I rolled back a plugin and then had 50% of all of our plugins deactivated after
   the rollback. Is there an error log to track if this. I am using the most updated
   wp version. Any ideas why this may have happened? Thanks.

 * Hi [@joebarrettaccess](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joebarrettaccess/)
 * Nothing in the PlugVersions code can cause this kind of issue.
   The list of active
   plugins is based on the WordPress core option `active_plugins`. PlugVersions 
   never updates this option and never filters it.
 * Switching between plugin versions is done by renaming the plugin folders, without
   touching the database.
 * When you roll back to a previous version, it’s not possible for other plugins
   to be affected. If you experience an issue with the plugin you are rolling back,
   it could be a bug in PlugVersions. However, if the issue affects other plugins,
   then the cause must be something else.
 * You likely have a plugin that filters the `active_plugins` option. Do you have
   any plugin manager installed, such as [Freesoul Deactivate Plugins](https://wordpress.org/plugins/freesoul-deactivate-plugins/),
   [Plugin Organizer](https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-organizer/), or [Plugin Load Filter](https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-load-filter/)?
   If so, I suggest checking whether there is a conflict with your plugin manager.
 * I will review the PlugVersions code again to make sure I’m not missing anything,
   but at this point I don’t see anything that could even trigger this kind of issue
   in PlugVersions.
 * Best regards
 * Jose

 * Yes, I believe plugin organizer is active on the site. I thank you for the response,
   and appreciate your work on your plugin. Debug and error logs had no history 
   of issues. Thank you again.
