all plugins that are deactivated are actually activated
The what now? Do you mean plugins that are deactived on /wp-admin/network but show up as active on /wp-admin/plugins.php ?
If so… Well. Are you SURE they were network activated?
Yes, deactivated plugins on wp-admin/network show as active on regular websites.
Here’s a screenshot. On the left, you see the network admin’s plugins page with 2 plugins deactivated. On the right, you see the regular site’s plugin page with the 2 plugins activated.
Am I SURE if they were network activated? No, I never said they were network activated. So actually, to workaround this bug, I don’t network activate plugins that I want activated on the regular sites.
Well then nothing’s wrong.
Network Admin: Plugins are not active.
Subsite: Someone manually activated the plugin.
That’s what it’s supposed to be 🙂 What’s wrong about this?
Oh! So that’s how it works. My bad.
My understanding was when a network admin activates or deactivates a plugin, it activates or deactivates respectively the plugins on the other subsites. Thanks for clarifying Mika.
