Description

Hi Commons Team,

I've tried several times to remove the "Sociable" plugin from the JITP Staging Site (http://jitpstaging.commons.gc.cuny.edu) but the plugin will not deactivate. After clicking the deactivate button, the browser refreshes but the plugin is still listed as active. This happens in Fire Fox and Chrome.

Hi Laura - There is an occasional bug on the Commons that causes plugin deactivation to result in a cache lag. I've just spent a few minutes trying to track it down, but I didn't have any luck. I'm going to leave this ticket open for future analysis. In the meantime, I've manually cleared your cache, so you should be OK.

Dev team - I have a hunch that there's a race condition between the cache calls in update_option() and some other piece of code on our site that fetches the active_plugins option. It could have to do with latency while contacting Memcached, perhaps exacerbated by the size of the 'alloptions' and 'active_plugins' keys. We should try to duplicate on cdev. Then, on a lark, we might try switching autoload to 'no' for 'active_plugins' - keeping it out of the 'alloptions' kerfuffle might be enough to solve the problem.
