I wrote in the other day but my issue was taken care of before you were able to respond. I really do not know exactly what happened with my website using up enough of the CPU on a shared server that Host Gator varnished my site.
The problem is that nobody could really ever explain why or how I was using too many resources.
Of course they blame third party plug-ins first, and then they tell me that my theme isn’t functioning properly.
Trust me, I would be willing to bet that it isn’t X.

After hours and hours a tech comes back on the phone and tells me that he figured out my htaccess file had been changed. The last line was not spelled properly.
From what i gathered by him, this had to be done by someone. Weather it was a hack or a Host Gator tech messing around in there, it was changed.

Needless to say, the file is in working condition again.
The problem now is that I have no phpmailer class so users cant get their password sent to them, and new users cannot register.
I do have social login plugin, so at least they are still allowed to use their Twitter or Google accounts to sign in.

The phpmailer was showing up a bunch in the error log recently, and I know that there was recently discovered a vulnerability in phpmailer.
I want to just either reinstall the updated version of mailer, or whatever you recommend to get my site running smoothly again.

The error when a new user signs up says :
Warning: require_once(/home3/bbella/public_html/lennymelnickfantasysports.com/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home3/bbella/public_html/lennymelnickfantasysports.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/classes/class-bp-phpmailer.php on line 32

THe error that returns when one tries to retrieve lost password says:

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in.

Would you mind providing us with login credentials so we can take a closer look? To do this, you can make a post with the following info:

Don’t forget to select Set as private reply. This ensures your information is only visible to our staff.

Hmm, that’s weird, all PHP mailer file are gone? That’s somewhat selective, all I could think of is security removed them for some reason.

Thanks!
