    Routine WordPress plugin update of Redirection appeared to cause the plugin to delete itself and therefore deactivate, I had to restore from last night’s filesystem backup. Database was intact. Other plugins have updated without issue.

    WordPress 4.9.8
    Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
    PHP 7.2.10-0ubuntu0.18.04.1
    nginx/1.14.0
    mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.1.34-MariaDB

    Nothing in error log at the time.

    The only reason I can think for this is that WordPress decided to delete the files for some reason (the plugin can’t delete itself). Are you running 3.6.2 now? If not, does the same thing happen if you upgrade again?

    Apologies this was due to incorrect permissions on the parent plugins folder which had been inadvertently set by an unrelated rsync task. Update went through fine after sorting, thanks.
