Plugins Automatically Restored

Hi Dave,

This is definitely a not expected behavior.

Is this a plugin you’ve installed yourself?

If it isn’t then you may have been hacked.
You can run one of the security plugins in the repository to check this:

The periodicity of the fact means that there may be a cron job involved.

You should also contact your host and ask them to check your account.

> Is there a log file which will give a clue to what is happening?

Depending on your host, you can check your server logs. You can also enable WordPress debugging following the instructions here:

Keep in mind that it may not be easy to spot what is happening through the logs.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions.

Cheers,
Vasilis
