After updating plugin many settings get reset

[andrew8]

This is the second time this has happened. This really needs to be fixed or you need to have a simple export all setting and import all settings option.

I updated the following plugins
Store Locator Plus (from 4.9.16 to 4.9.18)
Store Locator Plus – Experience (from 4.9.14 to 4.9.17)
Store Locator Plus – Power (from 4.9.15 to 4.9.17)
Store Locator Plus – Premier (from 4.9.16 to 4.9.17)

And just like before it resets a ton of customization:
settings > search > Appearance section
Category Selector values
Search Box Location is not showing

settings > map >
map style, other options, do not use map category option

settings > results
show category icons
use dial link for phone

settings > view
Add Text To Category

general > admin
log import messages

This really cannot keep happening. Is there a different/recommended way to make updates safely?

I was just discussing this the other day with Lance and i could not recall who was having an issue with this in the past. he just discovered the problem recently and needs to notify WordPress about the bug.

Lance wrote an article about this, it has to do with manual updates and the order in which you are doing updates. He explains the issues in his news feed. I do not want to mis type his explanation , please click on the below link and advice on how to avoid the issue:

He also added a tutorial, but I noted the voice was missing. He will have to reshoot the tutorial
