# Problems with multisite wordpress 3.x: Network plugins activation

 * Hello–
 * I want to share a problem that I had and my solution. Since I upgraded my solo
   site wordpress to multisite, I have started experience numerous strange problems.
   For example, I cannot add new links and many of plugins’ settings cannot be updated.
   Also, some plugins do not work properly.
 * I spent several days on this problem. Today, I found the cause of it and its 
   solution. When I upgraded my wordpress to the multisite option, I activated all
   existing plugins on the Network admin. It was a mistake because as I have learned
   today, I should have deactivated them first on my original site and then activate
   them on the Network admin. So, I deactivated all plugins from both the Network
   admin and my site admin and then re-activated on the Network admin. All plugins
   started working fine and I’m now able to add new links (and edit the old ones).
   For some reason, I expected plugins deactivated automatically from the original
   site, when I activated them on the Network admin. But I was obviously wrong. 
   I wish the WordPress posted this info somewhere….
