    FYI.

    Anyone here?

    Now it happened again – I set the core updates schedule to every 1 minute some time ago, but now it is changed to 12 hours.

    Hi @eitanc, it’s intended behavior that settings are reset after a plugin de-activation. This is done to make sure that in case of problems everything can be undone by removing the plugin.

    Thank you for the reply Papin.

    I think it is a non-standard and wrong behavior.

    Disable means stop all activity but leave the settings as they currently are.

    You are doing a kind of partial reset. Users expect that re-activation of a plugin will make the plugin active again with the same settings it had before the disable.

    If you wish, you can add a “Reset” button, for manual use by the users.

    Please consider fixing the current behavior.

    Thanks.
