Error with php version 7.4

Hi,

Thanks for letting us know.
For us to find out the cause of the issue, please could you send us a full copy of the backup log? Please use an online service such as Dropbox or Pastebin, and post the link here.

Yes, UpdraftPlus with PHP 7.4 doesn’t work.

With PHP 7.3 works perfect

Hi,

Please supply some details as requested…. there is no generic problem with PHP 7.4; it is being used successfully on thousands of PHP 7.4 websites (including mine), so there is a specific problem on your particular install – hence the need for details.

I just updated to the latest version of the plugin and it doesn’t work with PHP 7.4.
With PHP 4.3 it works perfectly.

I need help, since I have my website with an outdated version of PHP to be able to make the backup

I attach the log:

thank you!

Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin reports that this plugin only supports up to PHP 5.6. It is running under PHP 7.3 on sites without incident, but having tested it with PHP 7.4, it does apparently fail for unknown reasons. Still looking into possible other causes for this.
