 * Hello, today, I noticed that my site wasn’t showing the side cart. Instead, I
   saw this message on the Plugins page:
 * `The plugin side-cart-woocommerce/xoo-wsc.php has been deactivated due to an 
   error: Plugin file does not exist.`
 * The plugin was still in the plugin list but it was deactivated. I reactivated
   it and it appeared on the frontend but I lost all the custom settings.
 * This happened on both my production site and my dev site.

 * Any help? The plugin appears on one page after a delay but then doesn’t appear
   on others.

 * `The plugin side-cart-woocommerce/xoo-wsc.php has been deactivated due to an 
   error: Plugin file does not exist.`
 * Its alright. It probably showed up because the plugin main file name was changed.
   Shouldn’t affect the functionality or working of the the plugin.
