I recently updated Discourse from 1.4.3 to 1.4.5 and the tagging plugin [stopped working](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-tagging-breaks-1-4-5/39487). I disabled the plugin.

Now I wanted to try the [Feature Voting plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-feature-voting/40121). Unfortunately I didn’t know it only works with Discourse 1.5 beta. I also disabled the plugin after errors showed up.

Now I updated my Discourse instance from 1.4.7 to 1.5.0.beta13b and re-enabled the two plugins.

The problem: both plugins show up in the plugin settings and I can configure them but it seems the plugins are only loaded for the admin section.  
Whenever I want to add tags to a topic the tag bar does not show up and I also can’t enable the feature voting for categories because the option is simply missing. It’s like the plugins are not enabled.

Is there something like a plugin cache that got corrupted while trying both plugins with 1.4.5? Or any other cache that may lead to this weird behaviour?

Steps I already tried:

- Rebuilding the app (maybe 10 times or more with different settings in the app.yaml)
- Deleting the plugin directories from /var/www/discourse/plugins and rebuilding the app
- Turning the plugins off and on again in the settings

Other activated plugins:

- discourse/discourse-solved
- ligthyear/discourse-plugin-checklist
- Jake-Shadle/discourse\_jira
