Sigh... that moment when you notice something is wrong on one of your websites, and you login and discover that somehow **all of your plugins on your WordPress site were DE-activated**. 🤯

And of course because it is a multi-site WP installation... it means ALL of your other sites on that server are down.

And you wish you could call your IT department... except... that's YOU! 😞

Sigh.............
