Some Background Info
It seems to have become increasingly common for plug-in developers to take the liberty of redirecting wp-admin to the respective plug-in’s settings page upon activation of the plug-in. I find this practice is making it increasingly difficult to trouble shoot plug-in related site issues. A typical troubleshooting process involves disabling all plug-ins, and then re-enabling them to see which might be causing a particular site error / issue. I typically re-enable them in batches. When a large number of the plug-ins redirect on activation, it makes this process tedious.
There are also situations where it is necessary to disable all plug-ins, and then re-enable them all. Again, as part of resolving a site error. If numerous plug-ins have activation redirects, it can make it rather time consuming to re-enable all the plug-ins.
Question
Is there any way I can prevent all plug-ins from performing a redirection upon activation?
I’ve found a few plugin specific functions to disable that particular plug-in from redirecting, but nothing that can do this across the board.
Is it do-able?
