Getting PHP errors trying to backup to Dropbox

    I wiped the previous version and updated the plugin today and am still getting the same problem. When I try to email backups that works perfectly. When I switch to Dropbox it does not work.

    The plugin says I appear to be authenticated with Dropbox, but when I save my settings and click the link to complete the authentication I get a message on the Dropbox website that says: The request to link the app is invalid.

    When I try to run the backup in debug mode I get php errors that say:
    Warning: mcrypt_create_iv() [function.mcrypt-create-iv]: Cannot open source device in C:\[path removed]\plugins\updraftplus\includes\Dropbox\OAuth\Storage\Encrypter.php on line 52

    Warning: mcrypt_create_iv() [function.mcrypt-create-iv]: Cannot open source device in C:\[path removed]\plugins\updraftplus\includes\Dropbox\OAuth\Storage\Encrypter.php on line 52

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at C:\[path removed]\wp-content\plugins\jetpack\modules\contact-form\admin.php:15) in C:\[path removed]\plugins\updraftplus\includes\Dropbox\OAuth\Consumer\ConsumerAbstract.php on line 83

    Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Hi Brian,

    Ah – reading the code and PHP manual, it looks like this is an issue that would affect people with PHP versions before 5.3.0 authenticating to Dropbox on a Windows platform.

    I’ve made a fix in the development version; please de-install and re-install this one and let me know how you get on:

    Hi Janet,

    Please open a new thread, as per the WP forum guidelines – http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Where_To_Post – when you post to already-resolved threads it is easy to miss your post (and it causes the people who had the original issue a year ago to get new emails about it).
