Hi @naa986 Thank you for opening this ticket.

Sadly this is a known issue and something plugin developers are strongly warned against. There isn't an easy way to correct this, as WP doesn't have a way to know what the 'right' name should be. Since the information is saved as foldername/filename.php, any change to that can cause the result you see :(
