# The BACKUP screen missing a button?!

 * I’m new to UpdraftPlus, so maybe I’m doing something wrong- but when I click 
   on the “backup now” and little screen appears I only get three options to check,
   there is no actual button that will start the backup. Not sure how to fix it…
   Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!

 * Try de-activating other plugins and your theme – presumably one of them is loading
   something onto UpdraftPlus’s page, which is hiding the button.

 * It seems like this would defeat the purpose of having this plugin- if I need 
   to deactivate everything to make it work, sorry maybe I’m just not getting it…
   Thanks for responding though David 🙂

 * Hi,
 * WordPress is co-operative. If another plugin or theme wants to (or more likely,
   is mis-programmed to accidentally) get involved and remove things from other 
   plugins’ pages, then you can’t stop it from doing so. That’s what gives WP its
   power – anything can do anything; it’s also annoying when things do things they
   shouldn’t.
