I’m meaning not just re-activating but completely uninstalling it and then installing it again from scratch.

Sorry about that! We have an issue to eventually add a check to make sure that all files that should exist actually exist. * In this case when WordPress installed the plugin it for some reason failed to write one file. We’re hoping to be able to detect this in the future so such issues will be detected sooner (ideally WordPress was to provide such a feature automatically but it’s not the case unfortunately) * Thread Starter [angiepunkt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/angiepunkt/) * (@angiepunkt) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/e_compile_error-20/#post-13675570) * Should I check, if the file exists on other websites I maintain?

We’ve never had such an issue before out of many installs. It must have been some very random glitch. * > And if it doesn’t, can I save the data before reinstalling the plugin? * What you can do is go to `Matomo Analytics -> Settings`. Then click on the “Advanced” tab and disable the setting `Delete all data on uninstall.`. * If you were to ever run into this issue again, then you could if possible also update the plugin manually eg using FTP (if that’s a possibility) see Option 2 in [https://matomo.org/installing-matomo-for-wordpress/](https://matomo.org/installing-matomo-for-wordpress/)( if there’s an update available for the plugin then also Option 3 would work) so no uninstalling would be needed. * Thread Starter [angiepunkt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/angiepunkt/) * (@angiepunkt) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/e_compile_error-20/#post-13711161) * Sorry, but there’s a problem again.

I’ve just installed most of the same plugins you are having( some I couldn’t install because they aren’t on the WordPress plugins directory). I looked if maybe some other plugin would by accident remove that file but couldn’t find anything so far. Do you know if you maybe recently removed or updated some other plugins? I assume this happened in the very same WordPress as before? * It’s almost like some other plugin or something seems to remove that file. “bootstrap. php” is used by quite a few plugins. Or do you know maybe about any deploy process that might remove this file somehow? * We don’t ever remove this file as part of our plugin so it’s not quite clear how this could happen.
