Disabling W3TC makes no difference. Single Site running PHP 5.4. Tried switching back to PHP 5.3 & 5.2 (Working fine on other sites including a multisite setup) * Manual calls e.g. /wp-admin/admin.php?page=backwpupjobs and /wp-admin/admin.php? page=backwpup result in error message “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page” * Backups are however being generated. * I’ve tried replicating this on a mirror site on a testing server but didn’t get the problem. * [sharalek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sharalek/) * (@sharalek) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-disappears-from-list/#post-4965712) * I’ve used this plugin has some problems at this [http://www.burnerdiet.com/](http://www.burnerdiet.com/) * Thread Starter [robincook](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robincook/) * (@robincook) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-disappears-from-list/#post-4965713) * Everything is fine on settings, the backup works well but after a while it dispersers from plugin list but is there when I look at FTP plugins * Plugin Contributor [Daniel Hüsken](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danielhuesken/) * (@danielhuesken) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-disappears-from-list/#post-4965720) * Can i have a login for a site wher i can check for it ?
