[Plugin: BackUpWordPress] Upgraded Backup WordPress and Control Panel is inoperable

weekly is a built in cron reoccurrence.

Can I ask which version of WordPress you are using?

I have the same problem. Connect through ftp and go to wp-content > plugins and delete the backupwordpress folder.

You should be able to use the admin again.

WordPress 3.5.2, BackupWordpress 2.3, same error!
If I install manally an older version (2.2.4) all works correctly.

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Argument 1 for HMBKP_Scheduled_Backup::set_reoccurrence must be a valid cron reoccurrence or "manually"' in /wp/wp-content/plugins/backupwordpress/classes/schedule.php:484 Stack trace: #0 /wp/wp-content/plugins/backupwordpress/functions/core.php(151): HMBKP_Scheduled_Backup->set_reoccurrence('hmbkp_daily') #1 /wp/wp-content/plugins/backupwordpress/backupwordpress.php(156): hmbkp_update() #2 [internal function]: hmbkp_init('') #3 /wp/wp-includes/plugin.php(406): call_user_func_array('hmbkp_init', Array) #4 /wp/wp-admin/admin.php(111): do_action('admin_init') #5 /wp/wp-admin/plugins.php(10): require_once('/wp/wp...') #6 {main} thrown in /wp/wp-content/plugins/backupwordpress/classes/schedule.php on line 484

Thanks in advance for the support.

Sorry to here you’re running into this, I still haven’t been able to reproduce the issue on my end. I think it’s a conflict with another plugin. Other people have reported success by first deactivating their other plugins before upgrading BackUpWordPress.

I have deactivated all plugins installed, then I have updated BackupWordpress. Seems to be Ok. Thanks.

Could you paste a list of the plugins you have activated, I’m trying to track down the conflict so I can release a work around.

Sure. On the first installation:

• Akismet
• Align RSS Images
• BackUpWordPress
• Broken Link Checker

• Regenerate Thumbnails
• Simple Feed Stats
• Select Viper’s Video Quicktags

On the second installation:

On the second installation I still have version 2.2.4. If you want to suggest me which plugin switch off before doing the upgrade, I can do it (I have a backup to roll back).

I have the same problem.

plugins in common with Gioxx

Akismet
BackUpWordPress
Broken Link Checker
Google XML Sitemaps
Jetpack

I tried to disable both jetpack that broken link checker (one at a time) but the error persists (tomorrow I can try disabling other plugins)

I have the same problem since the upgrade.

Plugins in common with Gioxx:

Antipam Bee
Backupwordpress
Broken link checker
Google analytics for WP
Google XML sitemaps
Redirection
Wordpress SEO

Same issue here.. I don’t think I have any plugins in common with everyone, but here is my list.

And in case this might be a hosting environment issue, my site’s hosted on a reseller plan at HostGator.

• Akismet
• Contact Form 7
• Global Hide/Remove Admin Bar Plugin
• Magic Members
• Regenerate Thumbnails
• Screets Chat
• Site Offline or Coming Soon
• UberMenu 2 – WordPress Mega Menu Plugin
• WooCommerce
• WooCommerce PayPal Pro (Classic and PayFlow Editions) Gateway
• WooThemes Updater
• WordPress HTTPS

I had the same problem, solved it by deleting the files out of the ftp and re-installing the current version. I didn’t run into this on my other WP site, and I have the following on both sites:

Akismet
All In One SEO Pack
Google Analytics for WordPress
Google XML Sitemaps

I just ran into this problem for the first time after having backup wordpress installed on many sites. To get around the error, I needed to deactivate Jetpack (v2.3.2), activate BUWP and then re-activate jetpack.

A note to the author:
Instead of having the plugin throw an error and stay in a broken state (with no access to the admin panel), can you change the functionality to instead show an alert followed by deactivating the BUWP plugin and returning to the plugins listing.

Thanks.
Otherwise, fantastic plugin…great work.

I just updated BackUpWordPress to the latest version. Also using the newest version of WordPress.

On the WordPress dashboard, a Server Error was displayed.

To get around it, I went into my hosting account cPanel and deleted the backupwordpress folder from the WordPress plugins folder.

I used to really like BackUpWordPress, but there seems to be issues in a few of the most recent updates. I hope these issues get resolved, as BackUpWordPress is the only backup plugin I’ve found that will backup an entire domain name, not simply the WordPress installation.

Best luck.

Hey Travis,

Sorry you ran into this, it seems to be caused by a conflict with another plugin, you should be fine to simply reactivate the latest version of BackUpWordPress you shouldn’t get the error again.

I’m currently working on a fix and will have it out shortly.
