In all my traditional WP instalations which are conected to wordpres.com I have in folder
/wp-content/plugins/
this folder /docs
which I cant delete, because its always renew, and cant turn off, while I need it. Its really your production? tell me more about it, because I nowhere find information

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

And I dont see it on the list of plugins in WP dashboard. And it is suspicious for me.

there are only 3 files: index.php, docs.php and folder /cashe and again index.php

while all files are strange for me, because in the index file is only

‘<?php
// Silence is golden.
?>’

and in docs.php info that you are developer:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Docs
Plugin URI: http://wordpress.com
Description: Welcome
Version: 1.2.1
Author: WordPress.com
Author URI: http://wordpress.com
License: GPLv2 or later
*/

Hello, I would like to raise topic because I have a lot of changes in docs.php files on my server, and in the last days of lost connection with one of my wordpress sites with wordpress.com, I dont know why, but I have very strange problem I cant log in and fight this heavily… maybe it because that?

Hi Jakub,
Sorry but that site you are referring to is not hosted WordPress.COM. Our support docs do not apply to any sites that are not hosted by WordPress.COM and we do not provide support for them. You are posting to the wrong support forum to get help with your WordPress.ORG issue. We cannot help you here.

WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.

Resetting your WordPress.ORG password http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password
WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

@timethief thank you a lot for your quick answer.

maybe too much written from me.. but had simple questions that want to know the answer – and no one wrote back :)

Its only abou plugin docs

1. is wordpress.com developer of plugin DOCS (look at info here – http://wklej.to/kcwjq – this is evidenced by or lie ?)

2. or maybe jetpack is creating this hidden plugin? (are you developer of jetpack?)

3. is wordpress.com or jetpack creating any files on my server after contecting wordpress.org sites to wordpress.com dashboard to established this connection? like this strange plugin?

Hmmm … that sounds like a I need JetPack support issue. :)

Some JetPack solutions are here http://jetpack.me/support/
Others are in the JetPack support forum at WordPress.org
http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack

If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the Theme support forums there.

However, if you can’t find help at either one then you can file a JetPack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service

Ok, so I understand jetpack is independent development… thank you for this, I will looking there.

You know, I posted here because this plugin (I think its some kind of malware…?) is described inside as developed by wordpress.com… And want to be sure it isnt.
