Never Mind I got it resolved. My SSL Params were too strict, the X-frame options were set differently. I will mark as resolved.

Thanks for responding. Yes, I tried it in visual editor as well.
I have admin rights on the site.

Let me give s brief explanation. I am using php code to input today’s date, and a second instance to display today’s date + 2 days. These two instance codes are then placed in a html link <a href. When I enter the php into the window and publish, I check the link on the site, and it shows the php everywhere instance= and then stops (I use ‘ symbols instead of “ so it doesn’t interfere with the html code). When I go back to the editor page, the code in the window is gone, and it is once again showing the default text. Tried it on four different pages to no avail.

Hey @cocreation,

Ok using the script that you posted, I tested it with both domain name and IP address, and get a bool(false) error. I have my FTP server to run on a port different to port 21 (for security reasons), so for testing purposes I changed this back to port 21, and am now able to connect to the ftp server with BackWPup, however when it gets to the part where it should transfer the file, I get a “Can’t open data connection for transfer of **file name of the backup**”

I tried with and without SSL-FTP connection, and the same with PASV mode. I am trying it on 3 different sites, I have played with both the website (backWPup) and server settings, and just can’t get the files to back up. It was working fine up until March of this year. I don’t understand why it stopped suddenly.

Good day,
I use the BackWPup plugin across 7 different sites (I am a website administrator) and recently all of them started giving me this issue. 3 of the sites are SSL and running PHP7, 4 of them are not secured and running PHP5.6
On all of them the same happens.
This is the error when using domain name:

WARNING: ftp_connect(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known
[30-Apr-2017 03:33:37] ERROR: Cannot connect to FTP server: **Domain removed**:21

And without domain name (so only the IP Address):

1. Try to send backup file to an FTP server …
[30-Apr-2017 05:00:32] ERROR: Cannot connect to FTP server: 84.245.15.8:21
[30-Apr-2017 05:00:32] WARNING: mysqli_ping(): MySQL server has gone away

I am no longer able to do any backups on any of my websites. Any idea on what is going on? I understand that with PHP7 that when using the PHPMail() if the SSL/TLS certificate is not installed properly on the mail server it can give an error. Is BackWPup suffering from the same issue? And why is this also happening on the PHP5.6 with no SSL?

OK I got through.
I removed this section from the .htaccess

# Enable the hide backend feature - Security > Settings > Hide Login Area > Hide Backend
	RewriteRule ^(/)?carrental/?$ /wp-login.php [QSA,L]
	RewriteRule ^(/)?wp-register-php/?$ /wplogin?action=register [QSA,L]

and disabled the plugin through FTP, then tried accessing both links, I got on using the new link, but when I logged in I got a 404 page.
I then returned the code to the .htaccess and tried logging in, and got into the backend. I then re-enabled the plugin via FTP and everything works now again.

Will try it out once I get back to my workstation. Thanks all for your advice and patience.

Ok but editing or using a different template doesn’t change the look of the main page, unless I set an actual page instead of the posts page as the main page. Only way to do that is to edit the actual template pages, and I don’t want to do that unless absolutely necessary. I am quite familiar around PHP, but as you said, any updates and any changes are gone, leaving me right back at the beginning.

I would have thought that once the widgets were removed that the sidebars would just collapse, allowing the page to utilize the entire space.
