Support » Plugin: UpdraftPlus: WordPress Backup & Migration Plugin » does not work with twentytwelvechild theme, earlier it did

  • Hi,

    The UpdraftPlus Backup Restore plugin does not work with twentytwelvechild theme though earlier it worked beautifully. It doesn’t even work with all plugins deactivated. It does not work with twentytwelve theme too.

    ***UpdraftPlus works with twentyfourteen theme with and without plugins deactivated.

    I am using the latest plugins, themes and updated WordPress.

    Possible connection
    On clicking ‘Activate’ the page URL/wp-admin/plugins.php does not open. I have to click several times to ensure ‘Update’ of posts and theme editor’s ‘Update’ File’.

    Messages:
    The Google Drive authentication could not go ahead, because something else on your site is breaking it. Try disabling your other plugins and switching to a default theme. (Specifically, you are looking for the component that sends output (most likely PHP warnings/errors) before the page begins. Turning off any debugging settings may also help).

    Google Drive: Account is not authorized.

    What is preventing the functioning of Updraft Plus in the twentytwelvechild theme?

    I will appreciate your guidance.

    Best,

    Hi,

    The Google Drive authentication could not go ahead, because something else on your site is breaking it.

    This message means that the component in question is outputting unwanted whitespace on each page load. You will need to report this to the author of the component in question.

    Best wishes,

    Hi David,
    I truly appreciate you attending my query.

    I did these settings

    • Google Drive Client ID —- correct
    • Goolge Drive Client Secret–correct
    • but
      Google Drive Folder ——–‘doesn’t change’ this did not change

    Message I get is:
    Success: you have authenticated your Google Drive account.
    then–

    Backup Now One time backup
    then–

    Nothing happening? Follow this link for help. – – – I had no success with this.
    then–

    Last backup job run: Have not yet obtained an access token from Google – you need to authorise or re-authorise your connection to Google Drive.

    Perhaps this means something error_log says:

    [18-May-2014 05:40:26 UTC] PHP Warning: escapeshellarg() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/mydoctor/public_html/wp-content/plugins/updraftplus/updraftplus.

    Kindly guide me do accomplish backup with your plugin.

    Thanks in advance,
    Dr. Ashok

    Hi,

    The message in error_log is relevant. Your web hosting company has disabled the escapeshellarg() function in your PHP install. This is a harmless function which turns one string into another, so there’s no good reason why they would disable it. You will need to talk to them about that.

    Best wishes,
    David
