So is it safe to assume no one is here anymore?

Thank you. I will give it a try shortly. I appreciate the quick response!

Is this plugin not supported here?

Hi David,

Here is the screenshot of the error message I am getting in Updraft when trying to backup. Not sure if this is what you were looking for: https://www.dropbox.com/s/63il8oxh81k3cnm/Screen%20Shot%202018-05-14%20at%2010.08.22%20AM.png?dl=0

Thank you for any help you could provide.

Yes, it is large. I know I could attempt to cleanup some things in phpmyadmin but I wanted to use a plugin instead since I am not 100% proficient in database cleanup & optimization. The hosting account is on an older Godaddy plan and does not have cPanel access. Does anyone have a quick tutorial on how to safely delete and optimize the Wp_postmeta table?

Okay, thanks Cory. But I am still not sure if what I am doing requires just DB work or the use of Duplicator. Surely there is a way to do this because I can’t be the only one who works on live websites and wants to update the theme on a live website which receives orders. I understand what Duplicator does and I think its perfect for what I am trying to do. I am just not clear if it updates the orders section of the website (Woocommerce Plugin) once the new theme is uploaded. Let me ask the question this way: How does one update the theme of a live website which receives orders without losing order information or bringing the website down for theme changes? If I make a copy of my website to MAMP today, develop it for 2 weeks and then use Duplicator to upload the new theme and files to my server, do my orders that I received over the past two weeks get updated or does that 2 week period of orders get lost since I used the snapshot in MAMP from two weeks ago. Thanks again for the help.

Okay, thank you for the response. Seems odd that a primary function like billing/shipping address hasn’t been attended to by PayPal to allow this functionality to exist with 3rd party applications. None the less, love the plugin and you guys are the best. Have a good one!
