 * Hi,
    Lately it has happened to me twice that my active theme or child theme suddenly
   is missing – without me deleting it.
 * So – basically the site I work on works fine, then when I visit my site a few
   days later it is just a blank screen, when I log into wp I see the error message
   that my active theme is missing.
 * When I log into my ftp the theme is also missing from the themes folder.
 * In both cases it has been on the same server (different wp-installations), hosted
   by one.com. The only modifications done to the theme were some minor css changes,
   so the themes couldn’t been broken.
 * I have contacted the host, they have no idea.. I have run virus scans, but nothing
   found.
 * Does anyone have an idea of what this could be?

 * Who else either has or has ever had access to your site at server level? I once
   had a minor problem that went away after I deleted a dormant FTP account.

 * That’s the thing – only myself! And I changed passwords to my ftp (and web host
   login) and wp-installations after the first time it happened!
