 Replying to [ticket:8899 firebird75]:
 > 4/ Wordpress goes through myplugin_activation() and the
 (!has_action('myplugin_monthly_cron_hook','myplugin_monthly_cron')) test
 is entered while the action hasn't been removed (since the plugin wasn't
 deactivated manually). This is where the bug is, I cannot figure out why
 the has_action is returning false here while the action is indeed there...

 I don't think you're understanding how the
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API action hook API] works.  An action
 hook isn't something that can be registered just once when a plugin is
 activated (registered action hooks are not stored in the database).
 Rather, it must be done for every script load.
