In this form, BackWPup is simply unusable. I am glad that I have now discovered this. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[BackWPup – WordPress Backup & Restore Plugin] BackWPup Error Report since auto update to 5.3.0](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backwpup-error-report-since-auto-update-to-5-3-0/) * Thread Starter [Tom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomybyte/) * (@tomybyte) * [10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backwpup-error-report-since-auto-update-to-5-3-0/#post-18561492) * After deleting the legacy database backup task the error reports via email are still sent. I discovered that the current task with the same name in the section‘ Next Scheduled Backups’ generates this error message when this task is started manually. I wonder where to change the setting for the target and the target email adress couldn’t find any entry. As storage targets are only given: Website Server, Dropbox, FTP, Microsoft Azure, Amazon S3, Sugar Sync and Rackspace Cloud, but not sending as email!Version 5.3 of BackWPup is annoying and causing headache!! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[BackWPup – WordPress Backup & Restore Plugin] BackWPup Error Report since auto update to 5.3.0](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backwpup-error-report-since-auto-update-to-5-3-0/) * Thread Starter [Tom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomybyte/) * (@tomybyte) * [10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backwpup-error-report-since-auto-update-to-5-3-0/#post-18560095) * There is a legacy task, but it has been and is currently inactive! It was hardly ever used, maybe in 2023 when a developed plugin was tested. There have been no error messages since then. Only after BackWPup 5.3.0 Update, it seems this causes some troubles and I assume it has not been sufficiently tested! The task is now deleted. I hope that this will make the error messages disappear. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[The Events Calendar] Layouting of meta data section in single-event view is mostly unattractive](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/layouting-of-meta-data-section-in-single-event-view-is-mostly-ugly/) * Thread Starter [Tom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomybyte/) * (@tomybyte) * [1 year, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/layouting-of-meta-data-section-in-single-event-view-is-mostly-ugly/#post-18184456) * [@tristan083](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tristan083/) “To better assist, could you please share the direct URL to the page you’re having difficulties with? * This behavior refers to any event single view on any account and all of the latest TCE versions!

I had to do a full backup restore with the same forms of a previous version of the website with WP 5.7. Then I could convert the 3 codebase, export the forms. In the website with wp 6.0 I had to completely remove the nf plugin and all data, then reinstall the latest version, after that I could import the exported forms into the website with WP 6.0. Then I had to change the IDs of each form in the shortcodes because the form IDs had changed after import. Eventualy everything worked as expected. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Show Hooks] Why was this discontinued on WordPress.org?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-was-this-discontinued-on-wordpress-org/) * [Tom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomybyte/) * (@tomybyte) * [3 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-was-this-discontinued-on-wordpress-org/#post-15656237) * Would also like to know why the show hooks plugin on wordpress.org was closed for download? * [@cubicinfinity](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cubicinfinity/) the developers offer a pro version of the show hooks plugin here: [https://exlac.com/product/show-hooks-pro/](https://exlac.com/product/show-hooks-pro/) * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [Permanent connection errors to WordPress.org](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permanent-connections-errors-to-wordpress-org/) * Thread Starter [Tom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomybyte/) * (@tomybyte) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permanent-connections-errors-to-wordpress-org/#post-14224577) * [@t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/): thank you the healt checker gave me the right path to solve the problem. All the local sites that had the server configuration problem (no secure connection) didn’t have an entry in the windows hosts file. I knew that there has to be the host resolving to 127.0.0.1 entries but I thought that a wildcard entry for localhost should work like: 127.0.0.1*. localhost – but it seems it aint. After including: 127.0.0.1 name.localhost – the issue is gone. * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [Permanent connection errors to WordPress.org](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permanent-connections-errors-to-wordpress-org/) * Thread Starter [Tom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomybyte/) * (@tomybyte) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permanent-connections-errors-to-wordpress-org/#post-14223679) * Today I have setup a new installation of WP on localhost. Configuered with vhost. conf in XAMPP/apache as name.localhost. Almost everything is working fine, in spite of the access to wordpress.org (for expl. plugin-install.php) not working as not on any other local site I have installed on my development environment. I thought it could depend on my local apache web server. So installed all the newest versions in the XAMPP package with PHP 8 aso. * Internetconnection is quite fine: downstream:↓ 111,9 Mbit/s upstream:↑ 32,0 Mbit/ s I can reach: [https://wordpress.org/wp-json](https://wordpress.org/wp-json) w.o. problems * But the secure connection issue to wordpress.org persists.

I checked every point you mention in your reply. I have read the wpbeginner article. Nothing of it solved the problem. My (Vodafone) internet connection has no problems: DSL: connected ↓ 111.9 Mbit / s ↑ 32.0 Mbit / s * If I deactivate WP_DEBUG, the error messages are minor, but the problem persist in the background and at some special places it becomes vissible. * Remark: On remote linux web servers I have no connection issues with wordpress. org (wp-admin/update-core.php) * I have no idea whats going on.

I know WPML very well and I’m the owner of a lifetime licence. I could use WPML but that would be overkill. In this case I want a very small and lightweight solution. By the way WPML puts very much data in tables. I have another website using WPML, there is a table with a size bigger than 1 GByte. No – WPML is here absolutely no solution. But thank you for your time to answer. - This reply was modified 6 years, 2 months ago by [Tom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomybyte/). * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [Bug register_widgets using php namespaces](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-register_widgets-using-php-namespaces/) * Thread Starter [Tom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomybyte/) * (@tomybyte) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-register_widgets-using-php-namespaces/#post-11926154) * OK this is working with namespaces and autoloading the class files with Justins autoloader. in the plugin file (global namespace): * `add_action( 'widgets_init', array(new \TC_RP\Widgets\RPWidget, 'tcrp_register_rpwidget'));` * in the RPWidget.php file: * ``` namespace TC_RP\Widgets; class RPWidget extends \WP_Widget { function __construct() { ... } ... public function tcrp_register_rpwidget(){ register_widget( $this ); } ``` - This reply was modified 6 years, 8 months ago by [Tom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomybyte/). - This reply was modified 6 years, 8 months ago by [Tom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomybyte/). - This reply was modified 6 years, 8 months ago by [Tom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomybyte/). * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [Bug register_widgets using php namespaces](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-register_widgets-using-php-namespaces/) * Thread Starter [Tom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomybyte/) * (@tomybyte) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-register_widgets-using-php-namespaces/#post-11923434) * Thank you Justin [@greenshady](https://wordpress.org/support/users/greenshady/) for your feedback.

It comes from my original code with using namespaces. In this code I’m using an autoloader (like [Justin Tadlock’s](http://justintadlock.com/archives/2018/12/14/php-namespaces-for-wordpress-developers)) to require the file RPWidget.php. Definitly it is not working using namespaces and autoloading.
