-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.+By default, each plugin ​is //​inactive//,​ and you need to explicitly //​activate//​ a plugin in order for it to become functionalDeactivating ​plugins ​can be useful when faults ​and errors occur; plugins can be activated one by one to trace faults. 
 +===== Deleting Plugins =====
  
-{{:how_to:pluginmgmt.png|}}+There is currently no interface to delete plugins and their files from within GetSimple. If you want to remove a plugin, you can use an FTP client and delete a plugin'​s files & folders from within ''/​path/​to/​getsimple/​plugins/''​. Deleting a plugin'​s file(s) will automatically **disable** that particular plugin.  
 + 
 +**Please note:** Most plugins save their data inside the ''/​path/​to/​getsimple/​data/​other/''​ folder. Leaving data files in here from removed/​disabled plugins usually will not harm your installation,​ but it would be best if you removed these at the same time as you remove the plugin.

-By default, each plugin is enabled, and you need to explicitly **Disable** a plugin in order for it to stay on your server, but yet not get "​loaded"​. Deleeting a plugins files/​folders will also disable that particular plugin.
