# WordPress automatically deleted my wpdatatables plugin

 * I was using wpDataTables for a week or so and it was working great. However, 
   I just received an email from WordPress saying that they found that the wpdatatables
   plugin or theme contains a vulnerability. They automatically removed the entire
   extension.
 * Wondering if anyone knows the reason for this? I just had a simple table on my
   page, nothing special. I recreated it with a plain table now, but wanted to see
   if there’s a way to get this back?

 * Hi westcoastsci,
 * Sorry for inconvenience,
 * We are not sure what you have set on your server(plugin or server settings) or
   is set by default on your server that automatically delete plugin or theme that
   is found from some resource that have potential vulnerability.
 * Recently we have some vulnerability issue in our premium version of plugin and
   it is fixed in latest version, but like I said for premium version not Lite.
 * Those resource where is stored those information about theme or plugin vulnerability
   are generated by theme or plugin slug. Those slugs are the same in both plugins
   and because of that you get those notification.
 * Like we said we are not sure how they are automatically deleted.
 * Your created tables are still in your database. If you install it again you will
   see it. We believe that there is a settings where you can ignore those notifications
   for Lite version of our plugin, because it is safe to use as our premium version
   as well.
 * Thank you for understanding.
 * Best regards.
