 * Hi there,
 * Is now the 3rd time I change the code a cause of an automatic update.
    I have
   the event calendar pro plugin and I show events and venues in my app, I created
   a code for link the tribe event post to each of their venues as wp rest json 
   didn’t support, but every time there is an update it deletes everything.
 * I really need this to do not happen anymore otherwise my app crash always.
    Can
   you please help me with this?

 * WordPress plugin updates always override every single file… It doesn’t ask you
   to keep some/any modify files.
 * If you want to keep your changes, use FTP to upload the files and DON’T override
   your custom files (but you’ll need to check them anyway if something is needed
   for the new update… every single time)
 * Other similar approach is to change the plugin folder name and manually “update”
   new files and keep your changes.
 * You should always have a backup of your custom code for 3rd party plugins (and
   1st party ones… any plugin that is not yours)
