[Plugin: BackUpWordPress] No Backups with 'Back Up Now' button.

    Hi,

    I’m yet to see if an automated backup completes, but I’m trying to manually create one by using the ‘Back Up Now’ button.

    Whereas on a different site of mine (BUT SAME HOST) the ‘creating zip archive’ / spinning icon appears, nothing happens when I click this button. The page eventually just reloads, but with no backup created.

    Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

    Thanks,
    Andy.

    Should there be a log file somewhere? When I look via FTP, its as though BackUpWordPress isn’t changing anything when I click ‘Back Up Now’.

    Perhaps any directorys I need to ensure are accessible?

    I’ve uninstalled all other plugins but the same behaviour remains.

    Thanks,
    Andy.

    Also… I’m looking through a backup i made via my hosting backend and I found a peculiar directory sitting in the actual public_html folder.

    It’s directory tree is…

    public_html / home / sites / mydomain.com / public_html / wp-content / backups

    Could BackUpWordPress be tripping up and attempting to create what it things is the backup directory. As the actual backup folder location is…

    public_html / wp-content / backups

    Hi Andy,

    BackUpWordPress just uses the WP_CONTENT_DIR Constant to decide where to put the backups directory so it shouldn’t get tripped up specifically unless your whole WP_CONTENT_DIR constant is incorrect.
