    How EXACTLY to change change the directory where “BackUpWordPress” stores backup files?
    Instructions say it can be changed then does not say how but instead directs to cloud backups. Looking to change site directory from backups to directory of my choice. No cloud.

    Hey there @bbhank –

    Here’s a post that goes our our constants, which is what will help you do what you need to do: https://bwp.hmn.md/knowledge-base/constants-advanced-options-backupwordpress/

    Look at the HMBKP_PATH one, which allows you to choose a different location on your server to backup those files to. Just add the referenced line to your wp.config.php file to allow BackUpWordPress to see where you want the new backup location to be.

    You can check after putting it in to see if the plugin sees it by going to the BackUpWordPress admin page and clicking on the “Help” tab in the upper right corner. Click on that and look at the “Constants” section to see if your constant is shown in the list there or whether they only list default values. Try clearing any caches that might be inhibiting the changes if you notice any problems, then check to ensure the path you’re putting in is fully valid.

    If you have any trouble let me know and I’ll be happy to see if I can’t help you!

    Thanks,
    Kat
