WordPress keeps deleting one file in a plugin and then deactivating it

  • It’s weird. I installed a plugin. Everything is working fine. The next day when I wake up and check on it, WordPress keeps telling me:

    “The plugin whatever.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist.” I go on my server and check for the file and sure enough, the file is gone.

    But as soon as I added back, it’s working again. Why is that file being deleted?!

    WordPress cant find that file, please recheck after loggin into FTP/Cpanel about whether the file is there or not.

    also run your website through sitecheck.sucuri.com as wordpress dont randomly delete such files but your site could have been hacked.

    The file is missing. I reupload it and the plugin is working fine. After a day its missing again. And so on.
