Hi,
if you are losing the translations after updates, it is because you are not saving them in the correct folder as Guust told you last time: https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/problems-after-new-update/#post-317162 (please don’t ignore it again)
For example, the core plugin translation file must be saved here: yoursite.com/wp-content/languages/geodirectory/geodirectory-fr_FR.mo
If you save it there you will not lose it again.
You can check this page to know where to save each translation file: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/translating-addons/
For the plugin deactivated after update, I’ve tested in 4 websites now in 4 different servers and I can’t recreate it.
Can you please tell us step by step how are you updating your plugins?
Let us know,
Thanks
