# plugin disabled after updated

 * I updated JM on my staging site and had no problems, whereas the plugin “failed
   to copy to the upgrade temp folder” in my production site, and now the plugin
   has been disabled (no longer in the plugin list). It’s sitting under _wp-content
   >upgrade>wp-job-manager.2.2.0_. and the original _plugins>wp-job-manager_ contains
   only its folders, not the extra php files.
 * Any fix for this? Sould I just copy-override the files from the first to the 
   second directory?

 * Have you tried deleting the _wp-job-manager_ directory in your _plugins_ directory,
   and re-installing the plugin from your WordPress admin panel (as if it was a 
   new plugin)?

 * [@hastibe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hastibe/) no I havent, because
   the plugin is hardcoded into the theme. I have now overwritten the files from
   the _upgrade_ directory to the _plugins_ one, and the plugin came back in the
   list, but once activate I got a general error
 * _Uncaught Error: Undefined class constant ‘PT\_LISTING’ in /…/public\_html/wp-
   content/plugins/wp-job-manager/wp-job-manager-template.php:1237_
 *  plus one error for each of my jobs listed, which don’t appear in the backend
   anymore.

 * Sounds like some files are still not updated, or there is still an older version
   around in the theme that’s being loaded. I’d upload the plugin zip again, that
   should clear the current folder first and copy every file.

 * [@yscik8](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yscik8/) sorry for the late reply.
   I should ask you to be more specific. After restoring my site to the status where
   WPJM asks to be updated, I have tried again and got the same result: “_impossible
   to move the old version in directory upgrade-temp-backup_” and `wp-job-manager/
   wp-job-manager.php` is not found. If I delete the plugin it will break the theme,
   so I need a manual update procedure, i.e. step by step. Can you indicate how?

 * Looks like a corrupted plugin install on your site since you mentioned that `
   wp-content/plugins/wp-job-manager` does not contain any PHP files.
 * It’s safe to delete this directory. Alternately, you could rename the directory
   to `wp-content/plugins/wp-job-manager-backup` if you want to be cautious on deleting
   files.
 * Then try installing a fresh copy of WP Job Manager from [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-job-manager/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-job-manager/).

 * hello again and thank you for the precious tips. I have managed by renaming the
   corrupted directory in order to have JM disabled… then I noticed that my theme
   options had a warning for the plugin update, I used that and it restored JM in
   the new version. 🙂 it looks all right now, my listings are all there
