Newspaper un-installed itself

I have been working on an update of my site for some time, and finished today. Only thing left was to change categories on some posts. Great was my surprise when I returned to main screen from categories for testing. When previewing a page it only shows the script inserted from Newspaper. Looking closer I realize the Newspaper has gone. Plugins are not there.
That is, not completely gone. The Welcome/Plugins/Support pages are there, but the theme is not installed in WP. I tried to close down and reopen. No effect.
So what to do?
Can I just re-enable Newspaper, since the script in pages is there?
Anything else? I have used a few Cloud templates.

The environment is Bluehost/staging. Newspaper V 10.3.8
PS. Hope this not happen when I go live..

Hello !

This seem to be some remote cases. Please make sure that your website security is up to date and you don’t have any intruders on your website.

Also you will have to first start looking for a plugin conflict. please deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv ones, also if you are using child theme or cache plugin, deactivate them, clear all cache and try again.

Also you can try and remove and re-install the tagDiv Composer plugin.

Let us know the results.

Thank you !

Hi Vlad
Thank you for your answer.
Just to clarify, the 4 tagDiv plugins are completely gone. Not to be found in \plugins directory. Pages and posts are there.
I can hardly think anyone should hack the site only to delete these, especially not in a staging environment. Live site has been ok for 3.5 years with another theme.
Regarding other plugins I have one new, W3 Total Cache. I disabled and cleared cache for this. Disabled also a few others. No child theme.
The good news is that everything came up as it should after installing tagDiv plugins again. Except for one strange thing, I have to regenerate thumbnails.
