 * After clicking an update in the plugins area for SU, it seemed to have overwritten
   changes I made to templates/default-loop.php
 * Does this happen when you update plugin?

 * Hi [@atlas99](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atlas99/),
 * this is how the plugin update works. WordPress removes old files and downloads
   new.
 * You should not edit templates within plugin folder. Copy them to a child theme
   folder instead. [This article](https://getshortcodes.com/docs/posts/#template-editing)
   will explain the details.
