 * Under the same conditions from over a year ago, and applying regular updates 
   to the existing WP configuration site, all of a sudden the plugin erases itself
   from the site with the following prompt…[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qOM9fJjXeKe-_F_qDoPWkAi5tDH5v4Ge/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qOM9fJjXeKe-_F_qDoPWkAi5tDH5v4Ge/view?usp=sharing)
 * I had reinstalled the plugin again and again, only to get the same result.

 * Hi there,
   Thanks for your message.Unfortunately I’m very familiar with this issue,
   it’s GoDaddy playing around with your plugin.This isn’t the first time. GoDaddy
   like to ‘motivate’ customers to use their paid backup service.As such I’ve had
   multiple reports of GoDaddy disappearing the plugin and creating problems.When
   the customer complains GoDaddy claim ignorance, but the issue magically disappears.
   In short, this is the actions of the hosting provider. We have no plugiin ‘self
   destruct’ feature.We have attempted to address this directly with GoDaddy but
   they have refused to engage.Best regards,Nick

 * If that is so, do I smell a CA?

 * Hi there,
   I’m not sure what a CA is but when we tried to engage on this they 
   declined.Best regards,Nick
