-GetSimple'​s [[:​plugins|plugin system]] as of 3.0 will allow you to enable and disable plugins from the Plugin Management screen. ​Prior to 3.0, all plugins were enabled, and the only way to disable a plugin was to delete it from your server. +You can enable and disable plugins from the Plugin Management screen.
