    Lovely plugin – nice and simple to use. Thank you.

    Unfortunately I have encountered a problem with version 2.4 of the plugin.

    When I try to run “create new database backup” I just see a white screen (after a couple of seconds).

    Database information > Tables information shows the following error message.

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function format_size() in ………./public_html/jetlagandmayhem/wp-content/plugins/wp-database-backup/includes/admin/class-wpdb-admin.php on line 406

    ====================================
    PHP version 5.3.29 MySQL version 5.5.42-37.1
    Graphene theme
    I also have the plugin BackWpUp installed (I believe in multiple backups – also your plugin offers the fastest/easiest way to restore a saved database after a problem).

    I still have a problem and am unable to create backups with this plugin on one of my websites. “When I try to run “create new database backup” I just see a white screen (after a couple of seconds).”

    Database information > Tables information now shows the tables – so the fatal error problem has been resolved.

    Using wordpress 4.2.2 and Version 3.1 of WP Database Backup (I deleted old version and did a clean install)

    Thanks for help so far. Unfortunately, I still have “the white screen problem” and am unable to create backups with this plugin on one of my websites.

    Thanks for the interest you are taking in resolving this. Is there any way that you can display a progress indicator in place of the white screen?

    You are probably right to suspect database size as the problem.. However I did wait for 5 minutes before abandoning.
    My website https://www.papamayhem.com – (backups DO WORK PROPERLY)
    has a database size of 64mb

    My website https://www.jetlagandmayhem.com – (backups do NOT WORK)
    has a database size of 176mb (which I assume is not huge for an operational site).

    I have emailed the admin detail to Prashant. As a user of a shared hosting service, I dont think I am able to change htaccess OR php.ini execution limits.

    I dont want to ask the hosting service to increase execution time. That is not required for anything else that I do – whatever limit is “in force” protects me against runaway jobs – so I dont want to increase that.

    I did change wp-config.php as suggested – but that did not help.

    error_log does not contain anything for this time.
