    Hi i used the plugin to try to troubleshoot an MU-plugin issue but the addon (advanced-custom-fields-pro) disappeared from the list and the site is completely broken now.

    How do I manually fix the missing addon?

    Hi @dkuzmicki

    did you use MU Manager to delete advanced-custom-fields-pro.php, or only to deactivate it?
    I mean, you clicked on “deactivate” and then the mu plugin disappeared, or it disappeared because you clicked on “delete”? In the second case there are no bugs.

    In any case, to solve the issue try these steps:

    • Via FTP go to the folder wp-content/mu-plugins
    • Look for a file that looks like advanced-custom-fields-pro.disabled-66df3c665fd24 or advanced-custom-fields-pro.deleted-66df3c665fd24
    • rename that file to advanced-custom-fields-pro.php

    The code 66df3c665fd24 is just an example. You will see a different code.

    If you can still see the page of plugins, another way to solve the issue could be deactivating Advanced Custom Fields PRO and activate it again. By doing that it will probably write again its mu-plugin to the folder wp-content/mu-plugins.

    I hope it helps. If you stil have issues let me know.

    Have a great day!

    Thank you @dkuzmicki ??

    I am happy the issue is solved.

    Can you please let me know if you clicked on “deactivate” and then the ACF mu plugin disappeared, or it disappeared because you clicked on “delete”?
    Because if it disappeared after you clicked on “deactivate” it would be a serious bug of MU Manager that I have to fix.

    Have a great day!

    Deactivate. It is the only option on the addon in question.

    Note: the site has several issues and many many addons in the MU-plugins directory. Several causing major issues. It could possibly be related to that.
