Quick tip for disabling a plugin at run time using the ‘active_plugins’ option:
// Outputs an array of all plugins. var_dump( get_option( 'active_plugins' ) ); add_filter( 'option_active_plugins', function( $plugins ){ if ( $my_condition ) { unset( $plugins['my-plugin-slug'] ); } return $plugins; }); // Outputs an empty array. var_dump( get_option( 'active_plugins' ) );Top ↑

from what I know $plugins array’s keys are numbers so $plugins[‘my-plugin-slug’] won’t work — By Radu —
Example migrated from Codex:
For example, to filter the blog description, you may use
option_blogdescription.In the following sample code, we change the blog description on archive pages to include a page number (i.e. changing to “Example description. Page 2“). This is a common usage scenario to avoid duplicate meta description error in Google Webmaster Tools.
add_filter( 'option_blogdescription', 'my_theme_filter_blogdescription' ); function my_theme_filter_blogdescription( $description ) { if ( ! is_archive() ) { return $description; } global $page, $paged; if ( ( $paged >= 2 || $page >= 2 ) && ! is_404() ) { $description .= $description . sprintf( __( ' Page %d' ), max( $paged, $page ) ); } return $description; }Expand full source codeCollapse full source code
Please note: this filter hook does NOT run when the option does NOT exist in the database. So it can only be used to filter existing options, not to filter the
falseresponse when there is no option found. For that, you’ll need the hookdefault_option_{$option}
