I have been adding Big Bank Theory to my Plex. I first add the shows to my Mac by creating a folder for Big Bang Theory. The I add a folder for each season.
I added the first 11 seasons without a problem. I then added season 12 and Season 10 disappeared (along with half of Season 11) from my Plex. The shows are still on my computer bu are no longer shown on my Plex.
Any ideas , suggestions?

Not unless you want to share your EXACT naming and structuring - without which we all waste our time.
Different Show, but TV Shows ALL need to look something like:
the ‘Episode Name’ is optional and without it the file name is:
Young Sheldon (2017) - S03E01.mkv
with all the spaces, dashes and names meticulously included within.
/data/media/TV/The Big Bang Theory (2007)/Season 10/The Big Bang Theory (2007) - s10e01 - The Conjugal Conjecture [x264 AAC 2.0].mkv
/data/media/TV/The Big Bang Theory (2007)/Season 11/The Big Bang Theory (2007) - s11e01 - The Proposal Proposal [x264 AC3 2.0].mkv
this matters:
/data/media/TV/The Big Bang Theory (2007)/Season 10/The Big Bang Theory (2007) - s10e01
this does not matter
- The Proposal Proposal [x264 AC3 2.0]

In each season then files are numbered “1” for Episode 1, “2” for Episode 2, etc
Again, everything worked fine until I added Season 12 … that’s when Season 10 and part of season 11 disappeared

it worked fine, until it doesn’t.
either follow the proper naming, or expect failure.
if you need help properly renaming your media files, many people recommend googling ‘filebot’.

You go back to the drawing board, do it right, then enjoy success.
Remove items from the library during a complete renaming overhaul - or Plex Dance :
The purpose of this is to remove all cached metadata and xml data for an item that Plex usually keeps. This helps when you want to “start from scratch” for particular item
move all files for the media item out of the directory your Library is looking at, so Plex will not “see” it anymore
scan the library library (to detect changes)
empty trash
clean bundles (in menu next to server name, when accessed under ‘More’)
double check naming schema and move files back
scan the library
Support articl…
can fix Big Bang for you in under 1 second - and fix your entire library in a few hours.
