 * I use the TablePress plugin and the cell highlighting extension. At some point
   in the past few days (possibly an auto update) the TablePress plugin has been
   deleted, so I’m just getting the short codes on my page. Is the data still there,
   so I just need to re-install the plugin, or do I need to ask my hosting provider
   if there are any backups?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftablepress-plugin-disappeared%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi!
 * Thanks for your post and sorry for the trouble!
 * Most likely, something in the WordPress update process failed, but your tables
   should still be there.
 * To solve this, please log in to your site via FTP (or an online file manager 
   that your hosting company might be offering via a configuration panel). There,
   check if the folder “/wp-content/plugins/tablepress” exists, and if so, delete
   it.
 * Then, please reinstall TablePress again via the “Plugins” screen on your site.
 * Best wishes,
   Tobias

 * Thanks for the quick response. I’ve reinstalled it and all the data is still 
   there so the page is working again.
