Hi there!
I suspect that the issue was only temporarily resolved and came back the next day?
We’ve had a total of 4 people flagging this. 2 of those shared their website domains and both of them had their websites hosted with Upress. That’s a lot of coincidence so we reached out to them for help, but they kept dismissing it as a plugin issue and not server related.
We then went ahead and set up a website ourselves on Upress. Everything was working well, but the next day we had a critical error and the site was put in recovery mode. We looked at the plugin files and noticed that the entire /apikey/
folder was removed from the plugin. We re-added the folder and the next day the same thing happened again.
Upress seems to be doing a scan once a day and just deletes files and folders that match specific names. This is an incredibly aggressive approach and is guaranteed to have dramatic side effects (like breaking your website). This also confirms that it really is a server issue and has nothing to do with the plugin. It’s really a shame they weren’t more helpful trying to resolve this.
We’ll rename the folder in the plugin and release an update soon. That should solve the Upress issue. Fingers crossed we don’t pick another name from their list ??
Cheers,
Jerry
