Plugin update removes custom templates

    Hello,
    So far, every plugin update was removing entire plugin directory and then copying files into plugin folder. This removes the templates from /templates dir and then of course slider stops working on the website. This should be fixed because it’s very annoying and it can cause a loss of data.

    Hello dr.ubisha,

    Its well documented that editing the templates directly in plugins/cyclone-slider-2/templates is NOT RECOMMENDED. WordPress will replace the entire plugins/cyclone-slider-2 directory upon update. Thats just how WordPress updates work (or any plugins not just Cyclone Slider 2) and there is nothing I can do about it.

    However, there have been various methods to safely modify a template like using the wp-content/cycloneslider folder and as of 2.11.0, using a sub plugin. Check the tutorial here: http://docs.codefleet.net/cyclone-slider-2/creating-your-own-template/
