short link does not work anymore

Hi, @hgassner!

Thank you for choosing Backup WD!

Is WordPress short link created by a plugin? Could you please describe the steps you took before you saw this error?

Also, please contact our team and send the link to this forum thread in your message. Our developers will have a look at this issue as soon as possible and figure out a solution.

We will share the fix here as well ??
Cheers!

Sorry for beeing a bit unclear since there are many shortlinks I could use. I did not think about that.

I’m using a WordPress shortlinks like this:
https://wp.me/p8mzqE-1zG

I’m not sure if this functionality came back again with one of the newer WP versions (it disappeared in 4.4) or the change of my theme. What I’m sure about: I’m not using any special plugin for generating the shortlink / re-displaying the shortlink button.

I’m speaking about this button:
https://wpism.com/enable-get-shortlink-button-wordpress/

After deactivating Backup WD the generated shortlinks are working again.
I hope this additional information helps you in finding the error.

Thanx and nice greetings
Horst

Hi, @hgassner!

Unfortunately, this button is not available in newest versions of WordPress. Could you please mention the version you are using on your site?

Also, please let us know which theme you have. We will check if this is a general bug or a problem specific to your website.

Thanks! Have a great day!

Hello ??

I’m using (of cause ?? ) the latest version of WordPress – 4.8.2.
My theme is called Voyager.

Debug output (I’ve anonymized parts of the path):

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function __() in

Strange: it seems that the backups are still running, even if I’ve deactivated the plugin (not absolutely sure about it but the log looks like this is the case).

Nice greetings

Sorry, but that’s strange! I should contact your team? This is not what I mean by “support”.

I’ve already posted the stack trace now it’s your turn.
