WordPress plugin disappeared? - wordpress

On my website i have the Revolution Slider plugin installed.
Went to the website today and all you see is the Revolution Slider shortcode and the plugin has vanished. WordPress doesn't update itself automatically, and i haven't installed anything new. The only thing i've changed is some CSS. What could be the problem that suddenly a plugin disappears? There is no Revolution Slider option on the side menu, not even on the plugin list. I'm baffled. I've asked my colleagues and they haven't changed anything.
How do i inspect previous changes made to WordPress so i can track what happened? The slider was working yesterday but not today, now not even in the plugin list.

Revolution slider activation issue

I am facing a problem with Revolution Slider activation. When I try to activate Revolution Slider a blank area is shown with no error and plugin cannot be activated.Can anyone help me to activate this slider.
Make Sure that you didn't activate the plugin on any other website if it is activated on any other website using the same purchase code first deactivate it from another website then activate it on your website using the purchase code.
Sometimes it didn't activate due to some server issues.

Wordpress' Page editor changed to "Block" format, and lost theme components

Today I logged into my WordPress admin and was prompted to "Update the database," no options were given so I did. After that, my pages showed a "new" visual composer based in blocks that showed none of my theme's components, but only a text block with a series of shortcodes.
It changed the usual backend vs frontend editor that the visual composer shows and allows me to manipulate my page through rows and columns.
PAGE EDITOR NOW:
PAGE EDITOR BEFORE:
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling plugins, the theme itself, etc. But no success so far.
Is there a way to revert to the last editor (no backups), or debug why I'm only getting shortcodes?
So as I was posting this question I logged into another one of my sites and saw an alert warning me of the automatic inclusion of "Gutenberg" (a new page editor) after version 5.0.1 of Wordpress. That was it.
According to their suggestion, I downloaded this plugin which solved my problem: https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/
Hope this helps someone!

WordPress Page editor displaying incorrectly

I am editing a page with WP Bakery Page Builder but somehow the settings changed. I am unable to edit the page with WP Bakery Page Builder again. A WordPress page editor is active that I am seeing first time. Anyone who has seen this before and has idea how I can revert back to WP Bakery Page Builder?
Incorrect page editor
This is how it should look like:
correct page editor
Please help. Thanks
The reason is, you have upgraded to WordPress 5.0 and many plugin that custom editor will may not work correctly with the new editor version called Gutenberg.
Easy way
...is install, activate Classic Editor (https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/) plugin and everything become "normal".
If you still seeing Block Editor, click Switch to Classic editor like the screenshot below.
Or click to Classic editor when you are on Posts list page.
Harder way
Downgrade your WordPress site to 4.9.5 will make anything be fine without losing any data.

WordPress Blank Screen Issue

I'm running a WordPress website with a custom template that is showing me a blank screen when I have not viewed the site in a few days. I've cleared the browser cache and I've empited all cache using w3 total cache. Once I cleared the cache,I typed in the URL each time, and it loaded the website perfectly. I did not copy and paste the URL. The URL combinations are listed below;
I've also provided a list of plugins that are currently installed on the website.
all in one slideshow v1.3.1
ckeditor for wordpress v3.6.2.1
contact form 7 v2.2
contact form to db extension v2.2.4
duplicate post 2.0.2
easy picasa v1.1

wp fade in text news v4.0
wpml cms nav v1.2.4
wpml multilingual cms v2.3.4
wpml string translation v1.2.2
wp user registration v2.4
Just wondering if there may be a plugin conflict or maybe a conflict between a plugin and wpml 2.3.4? I've got no issues disabling and re-enabling the plugins one by one, but if I cannot replicate the blank screen issue 100% of the time, disabling/enabling plugins will not be of any use.
I'm also running other websites on my server none of which are showing me this problem. The server I'm running is Ubuntu 10.04 with Apache and MySQL.
Any ideas on what might be causing this issue will be very much apppreciated.
by FTP - temporarly rename your plugin folder to something else (like plugin_new) AND your theme folder and css file (like mytheme.css.old) . that will revert to to the default theme and will disable all plugins . if you do not have default theme - install it.
If nothing terribly serious has happened (like some code hack) - It will give you access to the admin area to start troubleshooting.
Add this to your wp-config.php file:
#ini_set('log_errors','On');
#ini_set('display_errors','Off');
#ini_set('error_log','/home/example.com/logs/php_error.log');
Right after the following line:
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
Then you can check on the log after the white screen appears, and know for sure what happened.
Thank you for all of your suggestions. I somehow managed to repeat the blank screen with no information, which then allowed me to slowly disable and enable the plugins. Found out it had to do with the updating of WPML CMS Nav, WPML String Translation and WMPL Multilingual CMS. Once I updated them, the site worked fine, without the blank screen with no code.
Just in case anyone ever runs into this problem with W3 Total Cache, I found a fix for the random blank-page issue: just turn off ALL of the "Debug Options" under General Settings.
That fixed it for me after spending countless hours searching for the issue. Good luck!
