Will I lose my data and settings when I deactivate my EE4-plugin and add-ons?

Hello,

I need to do some troubleshooting and I want to deactivate my EE4-plugin and all the addons. Because I do not actively use EE4 at this moment and because I do not have the time to do the troubleshooting before I leave for the holiday I want to leave the plugin and add-ons deactivated for a few weeks. What will happen with my settings and my data within the plugin and the addons? Will I lose everything or will it be there when I activate everything again? Or can I make a back-up. I will not delete the plugin and addons, I will only deactivate them.

Thanks!
Kind regards,
Miet

Hi Miet,

Deactivating the plugins will not remove any data. When you reactive them everything will be there again.

Hi Miet,

Nothing will happen to you settings, event data, registration etc.

EE does not remove data from the database when you de-activate or delete the plugin/add-ons so your data should be just fine.

I would still recommend creating a database backup first, just because its best practice to do so.
