It doesn’t backup files, just the database. It is also a rather unsophisticated backup script which I can see causing 2 issues… one ram, two limitations on attachment size.
Let me see if I can’t tune it a little for your situation.
I’ve committed a fix to the development version at http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/better-wp-security.zip however I haven’t been able to duplicate the login issue in any of the sites I have. Can you please test and let me know if that gets it?
Are the tables written in any special way (different engine, encoding, etc)? I’ve successfully changed the names of tables created by dozens of plugins without issue. The plugin simply loops through each table in the database looking for the prefix.
Thanks for the clarification. I’ll take a look at getting it fixed.
Great (sigh)
Thanks for the update. Sounds like this could be an issue for a number of folks.
Thanks Darryl,
If it does fail try changing the prefix manually in wp-config.php and please let me know whether or not that works.
@glowflare Turn off 404 detection and check “View Logs” to see what files are causing the errors. Then eliminate the references to those files from your theme, plugins, etc.
As a lot of vulnerabilities are in known plugins and themes many bots look directly for the known files, typically in wp-content. Changing wp-content keeps these files away from such bots.
Thanks for the followup Dan! That’s actually one of the original features of the plugin (well, since 2.x anyway). I just need to make it easier to find.
Ah ha. Thanks. Will look at it.
How big is your database? Sounds like you’re having RAM or timeout errors.
Darth, please email me at info [at] bit51 [dot] com and we’ll work out getting you the dev code as well as a way to help get me feedback so it doesn’t break anything.
OK folks, Working on the Gravatar issue this weekend. Can any of you please confirm if you are using any caching, particularly opcode or db query caching?
It works for almost 200,000 folks at this point calik1d, unfortunately nothing of this scope will work for 100% of environments as it is just too complicated for the many ways WP can be installed.
I’ll see about taking that out. Thanks for the info.
