 * Hey guys,
 * So this plugin keeps randomly removing itself and then displaying an error message
   that says that “similarposts/similarposts.php has been deactivated due to an 
   error: file not found”. Not sure if this is the direct error message as I accidentally
   refreshed the page before I saw it and it went away. However, we aren’t removing
   anything in the files or in SFTP for the site, so the plugin is doing it on its
   own. We don’t know why.
 * Thanks,
    Char
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fplugin-keeps-removing-itself%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
