Folders in wp-content have deleted themselves?

  • Our website has suddenly got broken images across the whole website.

    I checked all the URL’s and they were correct, so I logged into the FTP account to check the folder permissions, but all the folders in ‘wp-content’ have disappeared.

    We haven’t done anything to remove them, but they’re all missing.

    Has anyone experienced a similar issue? What do you suggest?

    do you have a backup of your files?
    does your webhost have a backup of your files?
    are your themes and plugins still in the wp-content folder?
    are you using a CDN or other image management tool?

    Luckily we’re with the hosting company 1&1 and they’ve got a back-up of our website, so we’ve restored the missing files.

    We’re not sure what caused the issue.

    I’ll report back if we ever find out.

    but all the folders in ‘wp-content’ have disappeared.

    This is not the default behavior of WP core!

    Therefore, something else is making them disappear.
