Hi Guys.

What are "system plugins" as apposed to active and inactive plugins?
Cheers,

Hi Tim,

If you set a plugin to be a "system plugin" means that once you put it into the plugins folder, it is automatically activated and it doesn't give you the ability to de-activate it.

It's mostly used for plugins that would cause the website to break if they were deactivated. The plugins you get from us are not set to be system plugins by default.

Hope this helps clarify.

Hi Jerry,

You have to change a plugin's header to make it a system plugin,

Here's and example of a system plugin header:

<?php

If it's a system plugin, it shouldn't be disabled as a result of using demo mode.

Hope this helps

Thanks Jason,

I'll give it a try.

What's the reason for disabling plugins in the demo mode?

When you get a chance, could you take a look at the other post?
