It takes a few minutes to show on WordPress. The upgrade only gets rid of the error message. The earlier versions only had the manual option, that was the only difference.
I’m a bit puzzled by Hostpapa’s multiple backups theory.
Scenarios that could create multilevel backups are: when you hit the Create Backup button, the plugin executed a TAR command on the server. Say you were in two browser windows of your back end at once, you could theoretically press the button once in each window, which would lead to the backup being created twice at the same time. I’m sure you didn’t do this though. Or you could create another backup while one is till in progress. Or the automation would create one in the background while you hit the button to create a backup manually.
They may be concerned that during a backup Snapshot may hog server resources and understandably they want to protect themselves against this. I’ll have a think how I can throttle how the plugin does what it does and will let you know. It’ll be another challenge….
Guys,
I took a good hard look at the code and have found the problem with the header error message. I’ve just released 2.0.2 which *should* alleviate this. Please let me know if it does as my server doesn’t show the error.
Thanks for letting me know about your issues by the way, it’s much appreciated! Your feedback makes Snapshot Backup better 😉
Thanks for letting me know, I think the problem theis the size of your site. It takes quite some time to copy 10GB over.
Have you used Version 1.6 before, and did that work for you? Also, are you using the plugin with the FTP option or are you using it for local backups?
I’m really sorry this has happened to you and I hope Hostpapa will bring you back online.
That’s not good – I agree! Who are you hosting with? I have noticed that the automation impedes a single website’s performance during the backup itself, so when you’re testing a backup every 2mins then is noticeable (and usually not required for production sites). If you create a backup once a day there should be no problem with other people’s websites on a server.
Anjaan’s error doesn’t show on my system so I’m pretty much tapping and guessing in the dark on how to fix it. Glad the backup creation works either way. Does the error show in every menu?
Crazy stuff…
It’s the function that displays the header picture and headline, should only take one argument. Perhaps something went wrong with the upgrade locally?
I’d suggest to remove the plugin, then add it again from the repository. Let me know if that works.
I do apologise,
this happened because some files were not copied into the WordPress repository.
Hence I’ve just released 2.0.1 – which is exactly the same version as 2.0 but gives everyone the possibility to upgrade to a fully working version.

In reply to: Simple Facebook Connect ProblemHi Otto,
That makes perfect sense about auto publish. I was referring to manual publishing though – it also doesn’t work with existing posts, which was news to me.

In reply to: Simple Facebook Connect ProblemAh, the plot thickens:
Turns out the plugin was working fine all along – it was my method of testing that was to blame:
On my test site I created a new post, and after publication I could push the post to Facebook with no problems. However on my client’s site I tried to push a post to Facebook that had already been published before we installed he plugin. This doesn’t seem to work.
But publishing a new post on the site and then pushing it to Facebook works a treat – my client only found this out by chance. Now we know!
If any of you guys are having trouble try the new post method first – worked for me 😉

In reply to: [Snapshot Backup] [Plugin: Snapshot Backup] cant get it to workGuys,
I’ve just checked and it’s definitely the PHP Safe Mode setting on the server that’s hosting your sites. With Safe Mode on the script executes really fast but doesn’t write a file. On my server I still don’t get the error messages, but I do get a 0MB file when Safe Mode is on.
As your host to switch it off and you should be fine. Please let me know if this works. I’ll implement a Safe Mode check in the next release.

In reply to: [Snapshot Backup] [Plugin: Snapshot Backup] Backupsize 0MBGuys,
I’ve finally got an answer for you as to why the script runs but the snapshot is 0MB.
Your host as most likely turned PHP Safe Mode on. If ai do that on my test server, the script executes really fast, finishes without errors but does not create a file at all. I’ll add a check to the next version if I can.
In the meantime, ask your host to turn PHP Safe Mode off on your account.

In reply to: Simple Facebook Connect ProblemStill nothing – but I’m waiting patiently for FB to spring into action.
Do I need to fill out the Domain field as well as the URL? On my test site it works fine without, just wondering about Facebook’s pickiness.

In reply to: [Snapshot Backup] [Plugin: Snapshot Backup] cant get it to workHi there,
I’m scratching my head over this one. Several people have reported this problem, it’s a server issue. I can’t replicate the issue at all and hence it’s really difficult for me to fix it.
Wo are you hosting with?

In reply to: Simple Facebook Connect ProblemHi Josp,
Having the same problem with a client’s site. All works fine on my test site and with my profile and my app, but the same error occurs on the other site.
Did you ever get this sorted? I read somewhere that this problem may solve itself in a day or two…
It’s definitely Facebook, not the Plugin.

In reply to: [Motion] Making changes in Motion ThemeHi Gosia,
the latest version (1.1.6) of this theme has two menu areas: Primary and Top. The one above the header (which you’re using) is the Top one. The other ones is the Main, which currently shows “no categories”. To remedy this, head over to Appearance – Menus. Create a new menu here (let’s call it Empty) then place nothing inside. Now select the Empty menu as your Primary Menu and your “no categories problem” is gone.
The footer shows “default widgets” which are often designed to show how a theme would display widgets. They show up when you don’t use widgets – which can be annoying. To get rid of those just add an empty Text Widget into each of the three widgetised areas at the bottom.
Looks like you’ve taken care of the Site Title size already, but here’s what I would do: in style.css have a look for this block of code:
#header #logo h1 a { color: #fff; font-size: 2em; font-weight: normal; text-shadow: 0 0 6px #555; }Here you can change the font-size element to say 4em, that’ll big – play around with it and see what suits you.
To increase the size of the top navigation, hunt around for this code block in style.css:
#top .top_menu li a { color: #fff; font-size: .75em; }Same again, change the font-size element to 1.5em or similar. You can even add a line like font-weight: bold; to make the menu stand out.
I’m planning on writing an article this week about how to modify this theme – check out http://wpguru.co.uk for more info.
Good luck 😉
