I’d like to know this too! The logs are very lengthy and before the change, I used to manually clear them every day.

I took a look at the page, and was able to pin an image. Looks like it’s working now –

I can’t change the upload size on php.ini, so I tried the second method.

I configured PressBackup to use a server folder (public_html/emb/) and uploaded the backup to that folder via FTP. Then, I see the backup on the PressBackup dashoboard. All seemed well at that point.

However, when I click “Restore” I get an error, “failed to get file.” This has happened multiple times.

Any suggestions? Thanks so much.

Thanks, I will give it a try!

Hi Mortydot, thanks for the suggestion.

We’re using the Disk Enhanced setting for page caching. JS & CSS minification are turned on and use Disk (no other settings available for those).

If anyone wants to see the site, it’s https://www.emptymirrorbooks.com

Gracias!

Oh, OK, cool. Since they were showing up in the error log I thought they were errors, but I’m not really that knowledgeable about PHP (as you can probably tell). Thanks for your reply, much appreciated.

Did you ever figure out how to do this? I need to do the same thing.

Update: I’m getting a similar error when using the filterable gallery:

PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/diartspo/public_html/d/wp-content/plugins/otw-portfolio-light/templates/otw-prtfolio-filterable.php on line 36

Every time the gallery is viewed, a whole slew of these errors show up. I haven’t edited any of the template files. Anyone know of a solution for this? I think the error log is going to get very big very quickly.

Thanks so much for your help!

The solution above works beautifully. Be sure to save your permalink settings afterward, the URL will show as you wish it to.

OK, thanks so much.

Well, I did a little experimenting, and got some weird errors in the process. I got the “not writable” error again. Then, once, it said my chunked upload to S3 was smaller than the minimum (really doubtful, for a site this size). Etc. I disabled some plugins, didn’t seem to help. Double-checked the permissions for the folders in question for the umpteenth time. Then I increased the amount of disk space available to this account (though there was a fair amount available). That didn’t have an effect. Enabled the other plugins again. Ran another couple backups…and, then, presto. All is well again. I honestly don’t know what happened. But we’re doing fine. Scratching my head over it.

Really appreciate your help, David! Thanks for the awesome plugin!

best,
Denise

Oh I see. I’d misunderstood.

So, as you suggested, I deactivated and deleted the previous version, then downloaded the development version.

When I first looked at the UpdraftPlus page on my site (for the new version) it still listed the last backup with the “not writable” warning below it. OK.

Then I ran another backup. I got the message that the backup was complete, but also this warning:

Warning: /home/paulmahe/public_html/wp-content/updraft: The backup directory is not writable – the database backup is expected to shortly fail.

Don’t know what to do. This is so bizarre because I have other WP sites running successfully and using UP on this same server.

I got this error, too. I disabled the plugin but am looking for a solution so I can enable it again.

Hi David,

Yeah, it’s really strange, I have run some more backups and still get the “not writable” error. But if everything else is working OK, I’ll just ignore it. No problem!

cheers –

Hmmmm I’ve just uploaded the edited file again. Not sure what happened there! Sorry.

Ran the backup again (https://pastebin.com/WipZ3PE0), and didn’t get the zip file, but rather a warning in red that the updraft directory isn’t writable. This puzzles me, as both the wp-content and updraft folders are 755. I just double-checked.

I have UpdraftPlus installed on other WordPress sites – on the same server and with the same setup – and never had these issues so it must be something about this site only, it’s really puzzling. I don’t really need to store any backups on the server; just want to make sure everything’s running as it should and that the backups sent to S3 are as as they should be.

cheers-
Denise

Hi David,

Thanks for your reply! I amended wp-config, and ran the backup again. Here’s the log:
