 * Morning all, ive been away for a week and come back to do some updates on the
   website. i had 5 updates which normally run fine. But noticed all the updates
   failed, after going into recovery mode i noticed a large portion of my plugins
   have been deleted. e.g Elementor. If i go to reinstall Elementor it says it failed
   as its already in the destination folder.
 * Ive notice quite alot of my other plugins have vanished aswell. Is there any 
   way to review an audit log or something to see whos been logged in or been active
   on the site?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwordpress-plugin-deletion%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * I strongly suggest you to contact your hosting tech support as soon as possible.
   Plugins do not vanish like that.

 * Afternoon all, just a bit of an update to this topic. Im currently with the hosting
   provider Fasthosts. I contacted them regarding the issue im still getting with
   plugins deleting themselves.
 * After more of an indepth look into it. Whenever i update a plugin or theme, i
   get the “website is currently undergoing maintenance” then that soon goes to “
   this website is experiencing issues” and i get a link to go into recovery mode.
 * After logging into recovery majority of the plugins i use e.g Elementor, Form
   Ninja, All in One SEO. WordPress says that there is an error with these plugins
   and they need to be reinstalled. When i click reinstall WordPress shows that 
   it cannot be installed as it already is installed. The only fix for this issue
   is to log into my FTP and to delete the plugins which are corrupted and then 
   reinstall them.
 * As any user of Elementor can imagine, if someone has pages set up with that plugin
   and has issues with it or is deleted all the pages look like it was made in notepad.
 * My hosting provider said a few weeks ago said its a capacity issue and recommended
   i upgrade my services which i didn’t really believe so i declined. Shortly after
   my website really messed up which i had to basically delete it and start again,
   still got the same issues though so i’m really glad i didn’t upgrade. After ringing
   them again they said my name servers are with Cloudflare its their problem not
   theirs.
 * So i’m really stuck on who can help with this issue.
