Thanks, Austin. * However, now I have the problem that full DB backups are not mailed to me, probably because the compressed file size is > 5MB. Is there a way to raise the limit of sendmail from PHP? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Database Backup for WordPress] [Plugin: WP-DB-Backup] the backup file is not compressed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-db-backup-the-backup-file-is-not-compressed/) * [f00f](https://wordpress.org/support/users/f00f/) * (@f00f) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-db-backup-the-backup-file-is-not-compressed/#post-1857671) * Bummer. * What about giving the user an option to select the compression method? Or try to detect when the one-step method will probably fail (e.g. dumpsize > 0.5 memory_limit, maybe?). * Do you have links to bug reports for the wrong file size?

I suppose it also tries to send it via email, however, due to the file size this mail is never received. * So I noticed several problems: * 1) Old dumps are not deleted (sometimes). There are files older than 2010-12- 21, so this did happen before 2.2.3, too. * 2) Backups are not mailed any more. My last mailed backup was on 2010-11-14. I scheduled a weekly backup. * 3) SQL dumps are not compressed any more. Probably since 2.2.3. Maybe this is due to the large size of my dumps (just found [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-db-backup-creates-file-but-no-email-is-sent?replies=13](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-db-backup-creates-file-but-no-email-is-sent?replies=13) and will check). * PS: Some googling led me to this gem, where they unpack a gzipp’d file in chunks. This should also work the other way round.

Is there only one part where you compress (below “Try to compress to gzip, if available”)? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [WP returning other content that requested (periodical error)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-returning-other-content-that-requested-periodical-error/) * [f00f](https://wordpress.org/support/users/f00f/) * (@f00f) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-returning-other-content-that-requested-periodical-error/#post-1297047) * Seems like this fixes the problem.

Sometimes WP shows the blog feed, a (seemingly random) comment feed, or a tag page instead of the requested content. Reloading the page with F5 (Firefox) usually returns the same wrong content again, reload with Ctrl+F5 returns the correct one. * I tried debugging it by logging canonical redirects, so I am sure it’s not a mod_rewrite problem. However, sometimes the error happes even before the hook is activated. Where else can I look? To avoid confusion I should note that in most cases no redirect happens at all. The URL in the browsers address field is OK, but the displayed content does not match. * Got WP 2.9.2 and a static front page. The wordpress files are in their own directory/ wp and the blog is displayed at /blog. * This is really annoying since it happens only every once in a while and I have zero clue what it could be caused by. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [changing blog path but not pages](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-blog-path-but-not-pages/) * [f00f](https://wordpress.org/support/users/f00f/) * (@f00f) * [18 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-blog-path-but-not-pages/#post-670480) * MichaelH, at least for me that setup does not work. I am using the current svn version from today (which is between 2.3 and 2.5). I have everything configured as you suggested, i.e. my wp files are in /blog/ so ‘siteurl’ is /blog and ‘home’ is . In my opinion that ‘moves’ both, posts and pages, to /permalink, right? * But what I (and presumably also the OP) want to achieve is that blog posts are available (and permalinked) at /blog/2008/02/post-slug while pages get URLs like /page-slug * Btw. when I try to access a post with /blog/ manually prepended to its URL I am getting a 404.
