(I have access to phpmyadmin, so if you need me to delete a specific record from the wp database to allow me to activate hummingbird so that I can choose a proper ‘uninstall’ option, just let me know the records or SQL query)

I managed to solve this but not in the way that I want. I have to switch Google accounts every so often when Updraft has used up all of the 15GB that Google Drive gives you.

What I would like to do is just use the Updraft Google Drive app which the help says is built in.

I found I had the following in my wp-config.php file:

define('UPDRAFTPLUS_CUSTOM_GOOGLEDRIVE_APP', true);

When I removed this, the Google Drive client id/secret fields disappeared in the settings, but this didn’t get me any further: now I got an error 60 from curl saying the ssl certificate was invalid. After trying a number of the Expert settings I still couldn’t get it to work.

So in a hilarious twist, I accessed the old version of your help file:
https://web.archive.org/web/20180609214424/https://updraftplus.com/support/configuring-google-drive-api-access-in-updraftplus/

…and following these instructions I was able to get it to work.

Question now is:
if I’ve previously set Updraft to use a custom app, and now I want to use the supplied version that is part of Updraft, how do I do this? I’ve tried Wipe Settings, deactivating Updraft, uninstalling it, but every time I load it back up, it still has all my settings from before. I just want to follow the instructions in the video, but I still got errors after removing the line from my wp-config file.

Thanks.

Hi, thanks, but this doesn’t solve the issue. I already mentioned that I was using jquery migrate helper, and I already listed the error it gives. Using the jquery migrate helper doesn’t fix WPTouch.

Additionally, Where the blog roll would show the Featured Imag and the Post Title of the latest post at the top of the screen, with the next 5 post links beneath, this top section now just shows as a blank white block. (and when I view it through Appearrance > Themes > Live Preview > Mobile View, it displays correctly with the Featured Image)

I have noticed this output from the jQuery Migrate Helper:

https://mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/wptouch/themes/bauhaus/bauhaus-customizer.js: jQuery.fn.load() is deprecated

Thanks, this fixed it for me.

After much sarching through code and settings, I finally found the cause. It was Yoast!

On the Search Appearance > Taxonomies > Categories section, my “SEO Title” field had in it:
Category Separator Site_Title

and it looks like some time in the past you’ve removed “Category” as a valid snippet.

I updated this using the “Insert snippet variable” to “Term Title”, and this fixed it immediately.

Now it is configured as:
Term_Title Separator Site_Title
and this works correctly.

It might be worth you auto-replacing anyone’s value of “Category” with “Term title” in the next update. Whilst “Term hierarchy” is also available, “Term title” is the direct replacement of what “Category” was, so it won’t have any negative impact on people’s sites.

I wiped my settings and then followed these instructions to set up my own Google Drive app: this worked and my backup is now saved in Google Drive successfully.

The last successful backup was May 27 2019, but I didn’t notice this until the other day when I raised the support ticket. I assumed it had stopped backing up because the remote storage was full, but I’ve loggd into the original Google Drive just now and it’s only 11.1GB full out of 15GB, and my backups are 371MB, so there is enough space. It used to do a weekly backup without issue.

I’ve tried reauthenticating using the old Drive account but I still get the same error.

I’ve signed out of all my Google accounts in the browser and signed in only to the one which I’ve specified for backups, but there’s no difference. I’ve also tried doing the whole thing in Chrome’s Incognito Mode and still no difference. ANd, I tried wiping all the settings in Expert mode and that also made no difference. My IP is not blocked on your authentication server.

I removed the security headers mentioned in a previous comment and tried again but there was no differrence.

THe backup to Dropbox completed successfully, so it’s something to do with Google Drive setup that still needs fixing.

Please let me know what else I can try.

Many thanks.

I have 2 sets of extra things in my .htaccess file. One rewrites the URL to http from https if it matches “/api/” in the path, and I have a hardening rule:

# Security headers from sucuri.com
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
  Header set X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block"
  Header always append X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN
  Header set X-Content-Type-Options nosniff
</IfModule>

I’ve created a dropbox account and it seemed to work: the “Success” message in the Updraft settings page after I authenticated included my dropbox account name and a printout of how much storage was in use, which implies it must have connected successfully. I’ll let you know if this works but I’ll still need to get Google Drive working because Google Apps is our strategic solution.

I’ve deactivated WP Super Cache and tried again but get the same result. I won’t be deactivating Wordfence because this is a live site.

I also have some hardening rules in one of my WordPress ini files, I forget which one, which could be affecting it? But I don’t want to remove these because this is a live site.

I’ve checked my Google Drive settings and it shows that Updraft is authorised to perform some actions, it’s just the part where Updraft needs to save the authentication token into its own settings that isn’t happening.
