Reply To: Traffic dropped after this latest update

Honestly, Yeah, I’d still lean Google wobble over plugin drama unless you can actually point to something broken on the page. That said, I’ve seen one dumb plugin update mess with canonicals/robots enough to make a post just quietly disappear for a bit, so I wouldn’t totally ignore it either. But “traffic fell off a cliff” with no obvious GSC mess is usually just the usual garbage from their side. If it was one of those affiliate posts, I’d check whether the rendered page still looks normal in browser and maybe compare cached/text-only output. Otherwise… most likely just wait and watch, annoying as that is.
