 * I have this plugin installed on multiple sites. I am finding that it is automatically
   deactivating itself after each update, without any kind of notification. Resulting
   in my contact form being disabled.
 * How can we prevent this from happening?

 * Thanks for using Caldera Forms. It sounds like the update process might be causing
   the plugin directory name to change. That will cause the plugin to deactivate.
   I’d recommend deleting the plugin — make sure you don’t have multiple copies 
   of it, which you might — and then reinstall form WordPress.org
