Sudden Incompatability after update

    I had three sites’ backends become unavailable yesterday. I also use managewp and these sites became disconnected from the dashboard. Two had a message about a line error in backwpup (the status report is no longer available so I can’t tell you where). I used FTP to remove the plugin from the three sites and all are now working perfectly. I am awaiting a repaired update before reinstalling BackWPUp.

    This was the notification error from ManageWP: Fatal Error (E_COMPILE_ERROR): Can’t use function return value in write context occurred in wp-content/plugins/backwpup/inc/class-destination-ftp.php on line 285

    @teplitz, there are two ways of fixing this: either upgrade your sites to php 5.5 or greater, or replace line 285 of backwpup/inc/class-destination-ftp.php with the following:

    			$ftp_ssl = BackWPup_Option::get( $jobid, 'ftpssl' );
			if ( ! empty( $ftp_ssl )

    @cocreation php updates handled by the hosting company and not always an option for shared hosting. you guys need to make it compatible with at least one older version of php, or you will have a massive exodus of users.

    UPDATE: i still have 500 internal server error on all page updates when this plugin is enabled. only works when i disable your plugin

    Hi @alexpty, the great majority of hosts support 5.6 or above. And I’m not saying we won’t support it, simply that this is the solution for now. We’re discussing our best options to balance both reaching as many users as possible, and also using up-to-date technologies.

    hello @cocreation i know what you saying, but i have clients on GoDaddy, Hostgator and Bluehost and my phone is ringing every minute. i have to manage two dozen web sites which are broken because of your latest update. Hosts support php 5.6 mostly, but it’s not something users can change easily. I think your read support threads already, it’s just a beginning and it’s only form those who figured that your plugin is to blame. Sorry i was of a better impression of this plugin for almost 5 years i am using it. Very disappointing to say at least
