Hello, BackupWoedPress team!

Recently I upgraded my plugin to version 2.4.1, and since then the “Tools > Backups” menu is not working anymore.
It shows the message:
```
ZipArchive Yes
DirectoryIterator FOLLOW_SYMLINKS Yes

Warning: shell_exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/[...]/www/wp-content/plugins/backupwordpress/classes/class-requirements.php on line 254
```
What do I have to do to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Hey Batera,

We need to fix that Warning on our end, however you can hide it by turning WP_DEBUG off in wp-config.php.

Hello, Tom! Thank you so much for answering.

In my ‘wp-config.php’ file, there’s already this line:
define('WP_DEBUG', false);

And still it keeps on showing that message.
But, if you’re going to fix it in the next versions, I’ll wait for the update, no problem! 🙂

This should be fixed now in 2.4.2

Indeed, it was fixed!
I updated to version 2.4.2 and now the plugin is working perfectly.
Thank you so much!
