I want to add another report of this issue.
Mostly been noticing the ‘backup.php’ error…BUT, now just as I write this, I’m checking again (clicked on ‘Security’ in wp’s left side menu in admin) and I got the backup.php error, then refreshed browser, then I got the filecheck.php error, then tried refresh again, finally kicked me to Better WP Security’s Dashboard tab. I then checked my email to confirm…I didn’t get any database backup emailed to me.
Specific errors:
(masking out my specific directories with —)
Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_mail() in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/---/---/wp-content/plugins/better-wp-security/inc/backup.php on line 159
Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_mail() in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/---/---/wp-content/plugins/better-wp-security/inc/filecheck.php on line 336
So eventually I do get into the plugin settings at least which is better than being locked out of it!
I can manually click the ‘Create Database Backup’ button/link in the ‘Backup’ tab in Better WP Security and get a database backup emailed to me right then. Just the automatic backups don’t get emailed.
My setup:
– WordPress 3.5
– Backup Interval: 12 Hours
– Send Backups by Email: (checked on)
– running locally on Mac OSX 10.5.8 using DesktopServer 3.5.8
(older setups I know, it just where I’m at at the moment!)
Also to add, the backup emails were working in the past recently, could have been with the latest updated version it hasn’t? Not 100% positive when, but that seems like the first place to check.
I do want to give kudos to the plugin, its incredible what’s all built in, love just the right mix of security features along with the auto-backup feature (plus I noticed the addition of hourly option vs. just once a day as it was before upgrading it…yay!). Hope it can get any new bugs ironed out soon, its a gem of a plugin.
