Hi, Thanks for your great plugin! I’ve noticed that on some clean WordPress installs selecting all plugins in WP Core to install and choosing “Install” from the dropdown menu below the plugin lists not only installs them, but also activates them (which is referenced in the process by “Plugin XXX installed and activated”). As you might imagine, turning on all plugins simultaneously leads to problems. Could you look into it please? Best, Chris Trynkiewicz http://essentialsoftheonlinebusiness.com https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpcore/ You mention “on some clean WordPress installs”. Are you saying it doesn’t always happen? Also can you provide a link to the collection? If it is private please send an email to support at wpcore dot com Yes, it doesn’t always happen, but more often than not. Within the last month or so used the same collections and got one intall-only process and two install-and-activation processes (latest an hour ago). So, it’s not a matter of collections or particular plugins. I’m sending you my collections anyway via e-mail, but I don’t think that’s the issue. I’m guessing somehow the wrong IF or SWITCH statement is executed, running installation+activation instead of installation only. Maybe check the HTML value for the SELECT field for the bottom of the plugin installation page (which lists the available plugins to be installed via WP Core)? There’s no “install and activate” option in the dropdown menu on the WP Core plugins installation page, so I’m thinking maybe it’s not an intended behavior at all? I guess some plugins could be installed & activated at once, but that should be added as an option on the SELECT fields. Best, Chris Hi again, support at wpcore.com e-mail address doesn’t exist. Trying with hello@… Best, Chris
