Please tell me, if I need to make any changes
I've never heard of that happening.
I've never heard of that happening.
Please check the description I have mentioned. Every time the WordPress version updates my option value revert to the default one. Like I have added an option for the site logo, and other descriptions but my options revert to default empty values. Is there any argument I have added wrong or missed anything ?? Please help, any suggestion would be appreciated thanks!
I don't see anything wrong (I would use something other than my_options as it's generic and could easily be used by other people who didn't want to use an original opt_name. Disclaimer, changing the opt_name WILL reset your options. Do it now before it's too late in the development process.
Redux stores options in the wp_options database under the opt_name. That information doesn't get erased between WordPress updates...and if it does, that would be a WordPress issue, not a Redux issue. If Redux were the cause, there would be literally millions of complaints, and I've never heard of this happening. Are you able to reproduce this across multiple sites on multiple servers?
opt_name
I'm having this issue on multiple sites. Not able to understand why this is happening.
opt_name
And instead of "my_options", I have used my theme name with an underscore and options "mytheme_options", where mytheme is my theme name. Still not able to find out an issue.
I'm not sure what to tell you. I've seen no evidence this is a Redux issue, but rather something else tampering with the database. I can't fix something I cannot reproduce, or is even broken.

I found the problem. I have created a plugin that is basically a theme helper plugin. Whenever the user will activate this plugin then he will get the redux options and other functionalities. And I have created a theme redux options file inside the theme. Now, whenever I am deactivating the helper function my theme options hide, and after activation its shows the default values instead of the last saved one.
- Where are Redux options values saved in DB?
- Is there any method to not delete redux saved data on plugin deactivation?
Please tell me if I can achieve this using custom code or anything.
-
Redux database is stored in the WordPress table under the wp_options row under the column option_name under the project's opt_name, whatever that may be. The data is stored as a serialized string.
-
By default, deactivating a plugin does NOT delete its data. Custom code has to be added to the plugin to achieve that end.
As this is not a Redux issue, I am closing the ticket. Good luck!
