It’s the entire backup set that is not being deleted from GD, uploads, themes, plugins, database and others, whether I attempt to delete manually from within WordPress, or retention limits (which should automatically delete old backups from GD?)
It just seems this has started happening in the last few weeks, since the latest UD updates. Have any of the latest UD updates modified interaction with GD in any way?
One very distinct possibility is it’s Google. They change their API rules etc faster than anyone can keep track. But if UD is obtaining an access token and uploading, it should also be able to delete?

In reply to: [Weblizar Pin It Button On Image Hover And Post] Photo not filling frameI say again, the problem is in the screenshot in the dropbox link above. The photo is not filling the entire frame.
However, when I tried another pinterest button, the same problem occurred. So it might not be your plugin.

In reply to: [Weblizar Pin It Button On Image Hover And Post] Photo not filling frameYes, all horizontal photos appear like that. I meant the vertical photo at the bottom of the post, as shown in the dropbox link above. As far as I know, generally only vertical photos are pinned on Pinterest. We have uploaded one vertical photo for every post and displayed at the bottom of each.
Similar question, only I would like to be able to disable it on a particular post, which already has a gallery using Elegant Themes Divi Builder.
Right now, the Divi lightbox gallery appears, and then behind it, the Simple Light Box. Both work. It’s just that after browsing it, you have to first close the Divi Gallery to be able to either browse or close the Simple Lightbox gallery.
Here is the post in question:

Otherwise, a 5 star plugin, just what I was looking for ??
It all makes sense now, thanks for clearing that up.
Any news on what might be the problem? I did also update Divi, the theme that I’m using right before I updated Updraft, can themes conflict with this in anyway? I wouldn’t think so as this is a display issue in the backend independent of the theme?
Here is a screenshot of the previous version: 1.11.20

And another side note, Updraft still seems to be working fine as I just restored all plugins with it. Just this squashy problem.
The only difference is ‘Database Plugins Temes Uploads Others’ is all on one line.
Otherwise I have to roll back all plugins to their previous versions to get a screen shot as I didn’t get one of the old version. (of Updraft)
That version, with the squashed lines, is the latest, just updated an hour ago or so. The only difference is ‘Database Themes Plugins Uploads Others’ is all on one line.
On a side note, if you can see the screenshot, you will notice 2 backups 6 minutes apart. It does this from time to time, I click on manual backup as if to make 1 backup, but it makes 2 a few mins apart. However, that doesn’t seem to be a problem as restoring from either of the 2 backups works. Just more curious about it.
How about Dropbox, I already had it open:

In reply to: Migrate/move site using UpdraftPlus free versionSounds like you are not using the original domain, in this case you do need the migrator add on which will in turn change all the permalinks to the new free subdomain. You can save yourself a few bucks and do that manually, but then I have no idea how to do that. What I think is happening now is that after you restore the backups on the new free subdomain, as soon as you click on a link to any other page on the site, it points to the original domain hosting account which is currently suspended. Observe the URL bar in your browser when you click on a link to another page of your site. The method I described in my previous post only works if your domain stays exactly the same, even if it is with another host.
If you have DNS control over the original domain, you could point it to a new hosting account at another company and set your site up there. For future reference, it might be a good idea to have your domain registered at another registrar completely independent of who is hosting your site, that way, if there is ever trouble like this, you can very easily set yourself up somewhere else, unless of course you infringe on terms & conditions at your new host. Read the fine print and fair use policy. (FUP)
I now use Google Drive, 15 gigs free storage, and in turn manually download backups while drinking my morning coffee, to my local computer. All part of my daily rituals. That way, if my host ever goes bang, I have local backups and access to backups in the cloud. Leaving your backups on the same server as the website defeats the object of having backups in the first place.

In reply to: [MC4WP: Mailchimp Activity] Nothing happenedI am such an…..need to keep this discussion clean. I have been looking for it in the bar across the top. It was there on the dashboard home page all along, just not on the top bar, it was way down at the bottom of the page, under all the other plugins which were all expanded…some scrolling was required, which on a Mac track pad isn’t a problem ?? I just had to, umm, scroll.
sorry, my bad ??
