That’s great news. Thanks Frank!

Ok – my problem is back. I haven’t changed anything and MM has been fine for days. But it turned itself off again this morning.

Why has this thread been marked ‘resolved’ when it clearly is not?!

Recently this issue has been pretty random for me, but I also noticed that BackWPup was taking something like 3 hours to backup my (small) site. It was getting stuck on compressing files using ZIP, so I changed the compression method to TarGz to see if that changed anything. Since then, backups take around 3 minutes and my MM plugin doesn’t seem to be failing like before. For all I know (I’m not really a dev) this is just coincidence, but I thought I’d mention it anyway.

Update #2: It’s not fixed. The plugin just turned itself off again and made my unfinished site live. Again.

Frank – what’s going on?

Update: I think my problem is fixed. When I updated to the latest version of the BackWPup plugin the other day it wiped my settings (grr) and I hadn’t gotten around to re-entering the information. I did it earlier though and, since then, the MM plugin has been behaving normally and not turning itself off. I have no idea how these plugins interacted like that.

I have exactly the same problem. I’ve used this plugin many times before, but now it’s turning itself off frequently. I haven’t even been able to identify a pattern unfortunately. Even though the settings say that it’s activated (“True”) – I have to click the update button next to that to make it work again. I also have BackWPup installed but I have not told that to enable maintenance mode during operations. Would be grateful for any ideas – in the meantime, it’s forcing me to spend more time getting my new site up!

Hi – I’m facing the same challenge here. The closest I can get to what I’m looking for is Magic Members. It has everything BUT the magic of metered access. Did you find a solution? I’d be interested in hearing what you went for.
