Thanks!

Thanks for this, I have only recently had to put this plugin on several sites, and I need to pare down the number of emails I get, so this is helpful to me.

Ugh, sorry to have wasted your time and mine. Since the offsite storage looked like it had plenty of space, only about 10 GB used of 15, for 3 previous backups, I didn’t check that aspect. It turns out that there wasn’t enough space, but there was no error message generated by UpdraftPlus saying it couldn’t upload the files. Should there have been?

done

I tried using the option under Bulk Actions, and that doesn’t work either. It still says “This item is waiting to be processed”

I have plenty of credits, so it’s not that.

I was able to create a backup of the database only, and it uploaded to remote storage successfully.

So, I ran a backup of all except uploads, and that was also successful.

Split is still at 25 mB.

Oddly, after the database only backup, the Backup/Restore page no longer showed the database backup for the oldest remote set, even though it actually was still there in remote storage. I guess there was a delay in the delete, because after the backup of all but uploads, I checked the remote storage again, and only the uploads for the oldest set remain.

Ok, so I reduced the split limit to 25mb. Started a new backup at 7:17.

The backup got further than before, but did not complete, and did not send me a message. db, other, plugins, themes and some upload zip files were created, and some uploaded to where I have them stored (1-61), but other uploads were created but not uploaded to storage.

The last message received was
Googledrive chunked upload: 60.5 % uploaded (15728640 – increasing chunk size to 16384 KB – memory usage: 55.8 / 59) (Jun 09 08:34:41) that’s where it sits, over 5 hours later.

Note that I have changed the site name for security purposes.

Thanks for any help you can give.

The log will not be complete if it never finished. My question is, if it doesn’t finish, either successfully or unsuccessfully, what state is it in? Does it eventually just stop, or is there a process still running? If it’s been hours with no completion message, does anything need to be “cleaned up” before starting a new backup?

Thanks for your reply. I will try that.

Can you tell me, if the last backup has not completed, is there anything I need to clear out before making another backup. Is it still running, or does it stop at some point?

Thanks!

Thanks, I’ll have to study this a bit to parse it out.

Could you please edit your post to NOT show the website name? I’ve saved a screenshot so I can figure this out, and I’d rather not have the wordpress world see this. I don’t know how much of a security risk it is, but I’d feel better about it. Thanks!

The thing is, I don’t believe I have this issue on other sites where I use your plugin, so I’ll have to study this thoroughly and compare the settings on other sites too.

Thanks again!

Thanks for getting back to me.

I confess there is a lot about caching I don’t quite understand.

I see the changes without a problem. It’s the users who are not logged in, but view the posts/pages/pdfs within a short time of my changes that don’t see them. They won’t know to reload the page to see the changes.

>> I already have Front Page, Post Page and Blog Feed checked under Purge Policy.

Under General, I had unchecked Cache Front Page in the hopes that would help – should this be checked? My thought was that if I didn’t cache it, it would show any changes ever time, am I wrong?

I confess I don’t quite know whether to “Purge All Caches”, “Purge Modules –> Page Cache: all” I don’t even know what Opcode Cache is. On the All Posts or All Pages area, each post/page has a “Purge from Cache” option. Also, on the post/page itself, in edit mode, there is a “Purge from Cache” option.

“Once the content is updated, the cache should be purged and the changes visible on the website. Naturally, you need to reload the page since the cache is also in the browser.”

Does this purge the cache for ALL users, or just me? Sometimes after purging the cached I go to a different browser to see if I can see the changes there. Often I can’t. If I come back awhile later, I can. Is it the “Update Interval”? that controls this? This is set to 900 seconds, which is 15 minutes, which I think was the default. Should this be shorter?

Users don’t normally know to reload pages, so I need it to be automatic.

And how would a pdf get purged? There is no option on the file’s media page to specifically purge it. There’s one pdf, a list of walks, that can change frequently, so what would trigger the purge for that? It’s not the page it’s linked from, since the hyperlink hasn’t changed, just the contents of the pdf itself.

Under “Never cache the following pages:” this is what is there, which I guess is the default setting.
wp-.*\.php
index\.php

I would take that to mean they are reloaded fresh every time, but they’re not.

Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I had to take it off 3 sites. One was PHP 8.0.16, one was 7.3.11, one was 7.3.26.

I’ve read the other threads, so I understand that this is wordpress doing this, and likely for security reasons. Can you tell me, is this a one-time thing, due to a particular version of the plugin needing updating, or will it be a regular occurrence? I have over a dozen sites to check to make sure they’ve no problems, and then again after the scheduled backups run. I’m hoping I don’t have to do this every time the plugin updates, especially since there are frequent updates.

Thank you for your plugin, and attention to this. I realize that you will be getting lots of users clamoring for answers, and are probably very busy right now!
