Title: Plugins Randomly Activating/deactivating, installing Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Plugins Randomly Activating/deactivating, installing * [miamipraxis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miamipraxis/) * (@miamipraxis) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugins-randomly-activatingdeactivating-installing/) * I’m a at a loss. I’ve tried multiple searches and though i’m a firm believer that no problem can’t be found, solved online, I can’t figure out what happened. * I’m using All-in-one-event (ai1e) calendar and a while ago began using feedwordpress plugins. Both were compatible it seemed. Then one day all in one started to deactivate on its own. i noticed that it was everytime feedwordpress checked for new syndicated posts. I was worried that some string replace functions i had put in for feedwordpress feeds might actually be messing with code on ai1e. I disabled them. I still occured. I disabled all feeds, then deactivated feedwordpress, tried renstalling both of them, totally deleted feedwordpress, and it still deactivates on its own. ai1e deactivates, it seems, after logging in. * Then it started getting really wierd. I started to logging in and seeing 6-8 event plugins that i never installed- installed and active on my site! I want to do a total reinstall of wordpress now, and that might be my only option. I’m scared of doing it (and if thats your best advice, please include a good tutorial for a clean re-install on godaddy). I am currently using the most up to date plugins and wordpress, I’m not sure what else to do.

Apparently I didn’t have the error logs activated on godaddy. I’ve activated it now. * I repeated some of the prior actions (re-deleted the mystery-installed-event- plugins and tried to reactivate ai1e calendar plugin) in hopes of replicated the actions. So far there isn’t anything when i download the error logs, I check back in a little bit to see if there is anything new in the logs.

So I called godaddy, and a really helpful guy was on the phone with me for more than an hour. After multiple attempts at solutions, i off-handedly mentioned that problems seemed to happen when i logged into my admin on word press. At which point he asks me what browser i have. * Chrome was somehow remembering an action and doing this automatically. I started using firefox since thursday and so far the website is live, all plugins playing nicely. * Thought I’d put out the conclusion in case any one else comes up with similar problems.
