If the board features computerised loop selection, you don't even need to stomp on any individual on/off switches.
You can't win sometimes though as often a jack plug left plugged in may still cause problems as oxide can build between the tip connector and socket in the same way effects loops sockets on amps go faulty even though the contacts are touching. In the days of analog desks in studios TRS jacks left in patchbays and insert points could cause problems and you could spin the jack in the socket and hear the sound change.
All of those is because the jack plug was originally used in the post office in huge quantities (they handled telephone call routing) and thus was plentiful and cheap. It was then adopted as a connector for audio because it was cheap, not because it was good and we've been using it ever since.

Give the plugs a twist that's enough. Pushing and pulling plugs is where the faults start. Only a couple of quid to replace my female plugs and no dodgy pedals.
