• Hi. I mistakenly deleted a couple of plugins and I don’t know what they were. Now the videos are gone from my website. I can’t find them or find out what they were. I was hoping there was some kind of backup/restore function but haven’t found it. I’ve restore the site files and database but I guess the plugins aren’t contained there. I’ve looked in a lot of the code. I find references in the code to things like Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg ✔️ WordPress Plugin under Test (bloggerpilot.com) but can’t find that to install. I am not experienced in any of this. Any advice is appreciated.

    PS there may have been a server log that would have helped but due to a user name change there was no log during the time this change took place.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    The plugins on your site are (were) stored in wp-content/plugins. Check that directory on your backup(s).

    Well, sadly, the server company seems to have no backups, I don’t know why. And the backup I made does not contain the WP folders b/c I didn’t have privileges to access those (I didn’t know they event existed) when I backed up the folders via ftp. I was able to restore a backup of the database, but I don’t know if that helps.

    nope, you’re pretty much out of luck. If you had admin access, there are a number of backup plugins you could have used. And you should have access to wp-content via FTP.
