Hi,
98558 is an astonishingly large number of files to have in your themes directory – any idea what they are?
David
Hi, thanks for the answer,
I have indeed a node_modules folder for my build which is almost 500mb, this one got large unfortunately. It is located at the root of the theme I use.
Here is the exclusion line I have setup:
upgrade,cache,updraft,backup*,*backups,node_modules
Isn’t this supposed to work? Is this the proper way to exclude a folder in theme root?
Hi Anton,
That’s the setting for excluding files from the backup of your wp-content folder. There isn’t one exposed in the UI for excluding themes directly, since that’s not normally needed. What you can do is create a file with name:
.donotbackup
inside any folder you don’t want to back up. Then it will be skipped.

That did it! Thanks a lot David, it is in my memo.
