At this time, this suggests UpdraftPlus itself was probably not really responsible, but version updates of it and WP exposed this PHP mail problem at my host. * Thanks again * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin] Has stopped sending e-mail & log to admin acct](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/has-stopped-sending-e-mail-log-to-admin-acct/) * Thread Starter [druhl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/druhl/) * (@druhl) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/has-stopped-sending-e-mail-log-to-admin-acct/#post-14859611) * Hi all. * Reviving this now, real life interfered with working on my website! * Since the events above, I’ve updated UpdraftPlus to 1.16.61 and my WordPress to 5.8.1. * I retried backups after initially updating the plugin, then after updating the WordPress, then again after updating any other pending-update plugins (none of which are for mailing / smtp). * The logs, which I can post if anyone’s interested, are just like the ones I posted above: the backup part appears normal and error free, then the last entry in the log mentions mail size 0 kb and attachment size 0 kb and in fact no mail is sent: — Sending email (‘Files and database (Full backup)’) report (attachments: 0, size: 0 KB) to: maste… — * Interesting item: I haven’t done maintenance on this site in 2 months, but one month ago (August 16), out of the blue, that day’s backup produced an e-mail with a log attached. As with other successful mailings following a backup, that log’s last line had a positive size in KB for the mail and the attachment: — Sending email (‘Files and database (Full backup)’) report (attachments: 1, size: 82 KB) to: maste… — * Any ideas? I’m a bit hesitant to fully uninstall and reinstall UpdraftPlus, if that is recommended, out of a suspicion I could lose connection to my existing backups – any thoughts? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin] Has stopped sending e-mail & log to admin acct](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/has-stopped-sending-e-mail-log-to-admin-acct/) * Thread Starter [druhl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/druhl/) * (@druhl) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/has-stopped-sending-e-mail-log-to-admin-acct/#post-14581302) * I will try when I see it available on my plugins page (still only showing the 1.16.56). * Thanks * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin] Has stopped sending e-mail & log to admin acct](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/has-stopped-sending-e-mail-log-to-admin-acct/) * Thread Starter [druhl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/druhl/) * (@druhl) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/has-stopped-sending-e-mail-log-to-admin-acct/#post-14572912) * Last backup that successfully sent mail after (June 7): [https://pastebin.com/xjTaJCSP](https://pastebin.com/xjTaJCSP) * Most recent backup, with no post-bu mail sent (today): [https://pastebin.com/9TxHNZHP](https://pastebin.com/9TxHNZHP) * Thanks * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin] Has stopped sending e-mail & log to admin acct](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/has-stopped-sending-e-mail-log-to-admin-acct/) * Thread Starter [druhl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/druhl/) * (@druhl) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/has-stopped-sending-e-mail-log-to-admin-acct/#post-14568385) * I toggled off, saved settings, toggled on, saved settings, backed up, no e-mail. * I also tried with “debug mode” on, no difference. * Thanks * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin] Has stopped sending e-mail & log to admin acct](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/has-stopped-sending-e-mail-log-to-admin-acct/) * Thread Starter [druhl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/druhl/) * (@druhl) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/has-stopped-sending-e-mail-log-to-admin-acct/#post-14564081) * I don’t have any SMTP or e-mail plugins installed. * For server SMTP logs, I could request them from my hosting provider of course, but with this problem starting *immediately* after upgrading (admittedly, both Updraft Plus from 1.16.31 to 1.16.56, and WordPress itself to 5.7.2, the same day), I want to take care to not troubleshoot in all directions. But the server’s SMTP log may still be helpful. * Does anyone else have any mailing issues with UP since either or both of these udpates? * Thanks * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Cerauno] Adjust Sidebar widths or switch them](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adjust-sidebar-widths-or-switch-them/) * Thread Starter [druhl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/druhl/) * (@druhl) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adjust-sidebar-widths-or-switch-them/#post-12730858) * Again, thank you very much, including for the detailed explanation. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Cerauno] Adjust Sidebar widths or switch them](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adjust-sidebar-widths-or-switch-them/) * Thread Starter [druhl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/druhl/) * (@druhl) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adjust-sidebar-widths-or-switch-them/#post-12710660) * Actually I do have a question – I notice there is a fair sized “gutter” between the Posts column and the two sidebar columns. * On mobile of course these just align vertically. * But for desktop, I guess I could increase those percentages for the sidebars a bit and tighten the gutters a bit? Or should the values of 20% and 14% be kept as some best practice? * Thanks again. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Cerauno] Adjust Sidebar widths or switch them](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adjust-sidebar-widths-or-switch-them/) * Thread Starter [druhl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/druhl/) * (@druhl) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adjust-sidebar-widths-or-switch-them/#post-12710493) * That seems to have done the trick, thank you very much!
