  Hi, I am extremely new to all this.

  I am using wordpress with bluehost. I am still very much a beginner and still in the early stages of exploring and learning how to use wordpress.

  The issue was… in a previous free trial wordpress account I had there was an option to create a logo whereas in this one it has vanished.

  I googled it and someone had given someone else advice which had worked which was to disable all plugins temporarily to make sure it wasn’t a conflicting plugin that was causing the create logo option to disappear.

  So… I go to plugins…I saw a plugin called ‘Bluehost’ something something…. I didn’t even check to see what it was called…
  You can not imagine the anger I have towards myself right now for my stupid beginner stupidity.
  I THOUGHT I clicked deactivate and it just vanished! So I can only assume I deleted it by mistake! Either that or I am going mad!

  I’m now equally furious and frightened that I’ve completely messed up my site!!!

  This is a person who is only just beginning to understand what a plugin is and its function…

  Is there a default ‘bluehost’ plugin and if so am I able to get it back?? Bearing in mind I am not even sure what it is I have deleted!

  I’m panicking that now my site isn’t going to function optimally or that I have deleted some irretrivable and important!

  Please help….

  It would be immensely appreciated.

  Sorry for being a bit rambly and not keeping this to the point.
  Just to add, I am not sure that I deleted it at all as just now experimenting I tried to delete a plugin and it first asked ‘are you sure you want to delete this plugin’…
  I am pretty sure this did not originally pop-up.
  But I am also sure I remember seeing the word ‘Bluehost’ in the list of plugins!
  I have searched for any plugin with the same bluehost in order to reinstall whatever I think I have deleted and there is no plugin that starts with bluehost.

  Does this mean it never existed and I had a mad moment?
