]]>Hello there!
I hope that you’re doing well today! ??
Recently, I tried to connect remotely to my website, using the Updraft Central. And for some reason, I’m not able to connect remotely.
I have first tried to connect thought my WP dashboard and it’s not working. I also tried using a new key, and still doesn’t work.
Then, I deactivated any security plugin and even the ModSecurity from the server end. And still, couldn’t connect at all.
I have followed the troubleshoot guide and I’m out of options now.
Please, help me in finding a way to do this correctly.
Thank you!
The plugin seems to be loading the uc-gutenberg-blocks on all frontend pages, which in turn loads all the admin block scripts. Please fix.

]]>Hello,
for some time now I have been using the [updraft_central]-shortcode on one of my pages.
This worked without problems with the WP-theme Twenty Twenty-Three.
Now I wanted to try a new theme (Kadence) and the page in question no longer works. It is displayed very briefly with moved elements and then remains white. (All other pages of my site working fine with Kadence.)
How can I find out where the error lies?
I have tried other browsers and also cleared the browser cache – no success.
Thank you very much!
If UpdraftCentral cannot connect to a site while running a list of updates, the screen goes black and locks up. There is no way to continue with the list of site updates, unless you can figure out which site is failing and manually remove it from the MySQL database.?
This has been going on for years. Why is this fatal error being ignored?
]]>Hi!
I have been using this for years and love it.
I only find some issues:
– The “Select updates” button sometimes doesn’t work at first, it moves when I click on it and does nothing or tells me :
“Please wait, action in progress
An action is currently in progress. Please wait for the process to complete before doing anything else.”
So I have to click it multiple times till I get it right.
– The “Backup before updating” sometimes times out. It would be great if this worked better.
– It happened to me twice there were errors during the update process and some plugin was incomplete so stopped working on some website.
Thanks and best regards,
Taisa
I am using UpdraftCentral dashboard on my remote site. I monitor 24 sites from the dashboard. For the past two weeks, it seems that the site key for every site has quit working if I use the “dashboard” button for a site. Instead of taking me to the dashboard of that site, I am taken to the home page of that site with an address that looks like: xxxxes.org/?udcentral_action=login&login_id=1&login_key=asdfg12345sdfgflxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The remote dashboard is Version 0.8.28
The theme is Beaver Builder Child Theme, no modifications, only plugins are UpdraftCentral, UpdraftPlus, and Beaver Builder.
If I create a new site key it will work. I’m just wondering why the existing keys all quit working.

The Chrome console shows a 500 server error on the main document. As mentioned on another ticket, the styling is gone, and none of the buttons work.
Downgrading to 0.8.2.5 solves the problem.

]]>Hi,
I just installed the UpdraftCentral plugin and the dashboard page that I created with the shortcode is shown all messy. The buttons on the left menu are working but the buttons on the right side aren’t so I can’t add a new site.
Screenshot:https://imgur.com/5KbRhe9
]]>On one particular host I use, the dashboard updates for plugins frequently fail.
I’ll run the update, get the notice that the update has failed. If I try again, sometimes it works; but sometimes the update process has left behind the original plugin directory. The WP Plugins Dashboard will not show the plugin, so I can’t delete it; But when I try to install it again from scratch I get an error that the directory already exists.
I’ll have to then FTP in to the server and delete the directory manually. Then it will work again.
Maybe a better check to be sure that everything is cleaned up properly before exiting?
]]>I currently use UpdraftPlus and Updraft Central. I am trying to get a set in stone process of how to migrate a site to another domain using automated backups and the migration tool. This is what i have currently-
1. Install Updraft+ on new domain and login / update plugin.
2. Download backup files from Updraft Central / Google drive.
3. Upload backup files to updraft+ on new domain.
4. Restore the uploaded backup using migrator tool (using the “Restore and existing backup” option)
This has worked twice using manual backup files. However i have a few issues that i need to iron out.
1. To use automatic backups i need the database backup to be part of the backup containing the plugins uploads etc, but it is its own separate backup which has led to failed attempts at migration (all backup files on manual backup are part of the ‘same backup’)- Do the auto backups for database and files need to be taken at the same time for this to be achieved?
2. On my most recent attempt to solidify this process, i used a manual backup (like i have had previous success with). It succeeded, however my admin account no longer works to login, which is rather problematic. The only difference with this backup, was that I had checked the following options-
– Backup non-WordPress tables contained in the same database as WordPress
– WordPress core (including any additions to your WordPress root directory)
Any Help would be greatly appreciated!
]]>Hi there,
I am facing the issue, that I am able to update plugins with updraft central at the target page, but in my updraft central dashboard I don’t see any status change… When I:
– Check for Updates, the same plugins appear again
– start the update again, I get response: This Plugin already is updated.
I face this in different websites.
Any hints?
Thank you very much
My settings are okay: before updateing: do not make a backup; and when I update plugins on my website, everything goes fine.
But since last week updating via Updraft central (self hosted website) is taking long time, as for every plugin Updraft starts making an update.
The list at Updraft Plus backups shows: Automatic backup before update but only for the backups made by Updraft Central.
The logbook shows:
2022-04-07 20:13:55 +0000 [62.250.141.216] [0.central.updraftplus.com] Command received: updraftplus.backupnow
2022-04-07 20:12:01 +0000 [62.250.141.216] [0.central.updraftplus.com] Command received: core.get_login_url
2022-04-07 20:11:49 +0000 [62.250.141.216] [0.central.updraftplus.com] Command received: updraftplus.get_advanced_settings
2022-04-07 20:11:10 +0000 [62.250.141.216] [0.central.updraftplus.com] Command received: updraftplus.backupnow
My advanced settings are not to backup, but apparantly Updraft Central does not listen to these settings anymore.
Also at the dashboard – updates: the settings are correct.
Did something change in a last update of Updraft Plus? What can I do?
]]>I reported this issue some time ago, and failed to get back to the page in time, so the previous report has been “resolved.”
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/page-goes-dark-and-cant-remove-the-site/
If UpdraftCentral cannot connect to a site while running a list of updates, the screen goes black and locks up. There is no way to continue with the list of site updates, unless you can figure out which site is failing and manually remove it from the MySQL database.
This happens in both Safari and Chrome on MacOS. This is a severe failure, making it impossible to use UpdraftCentral without tweaking the database. Unfortunately, with 20-some sites, it is not easy to determine which site is failing (or why).
The page is password protected, so if you cannot reproduce this in your test environment, I’d be happy to securely share a login ID/password.
I think the easiest way to reproduce this might be:
1. Install WordPress on domain A, including UpdraftPlus.
2. Install WordPress on domain B, including UpdraftCentral.
3. Add domain A to the UpdraftCentral list of managed sites
4. Confirm that domain B can connect to and update domain A.
5. Remove WordPress from domain A.
6. At domain B, try to run an update with UpdraftCentral
Expected result: a non-fatal error message indicating that the site can’t be reached
Actual result: the screen goes gray or black and locks up.
Hi, I wonder what’s wrong with Updraft Central: I get a fatal PHP error.
I have Updraft Central on 5 websites, and the Updraft Central Dashboard on one of them.
1) Recently, I updated all updrafts (Updraft Plus and Updraft Central) and the core on all of my websites, and the Updraft Central Dashboard stopped working: It displays an old status, and when I do anything that connects to other Updraft Central instances (like “looking for updates”), it displays a connection error. No, there is no firewall or anything else. The help text indicates I should remove and reconnect the websites.
2) So I did: removed one website (the one where the dashboard is running on, too) and tried to reconnect, following your perfect tutorial (https://updraftplus.com/updraftcentral-how-to-add-a-site/).
– Step 1: I log into the backend of the website I want to reconnect. I go to Settings->Updraft Plus Backup/Restore, Tab “tools”, tab “UpdraftCentral”.
– Step 2: I hit the button “Self-hosted dashboard” to reconnect.
– Step 3: I answer the question on how large the key should be (2048) and enter the website URL (not the path to the updraft central dashboard, I assume; the tutorial is not completely clear on that).
–> Instead of a key, I get a fatal PHP error:
PHP Fatal error (Error) has occurred during updraftcentral_create_key subaction. Error Message: Call to undefined function phpinfo() (Code: 0, line 521 in /srv/www/htdocs/claus.faber/www.test.clausfaber.net/wp-content/plugins/updraftplus/vendor/phpseclib/phpseclib/phpseclib/Crypt/RSA.php)
Something in my system can’t answer the question, which PHP version is running. The UpdraftPlus settings tab “Website information” shows: 8.0.12.
Wordpress Version is 5.8.2, MySQL version is 7.5.35-log, OpenSSL is active, MCrypt not active. UpdraftCentral Dashboard is 0.8.19. SSL is active. Anything else to let you know? (I’m not a wordpress programmer, only admin ??
Many thanks in advance! You make updating so easy with your plugin ??
]]>i am not able to access my website admin panel.
i gave UpdraftPlus plugin installed and a backup is also there.
i have linked my website to updraft central.
is there a way to restore the website from UpdraftCentral?
At the moment, UpdraftCentral allows you to update all plugins, and this is a major flaw. You should only display plugins which are compatible with the version of WordPress which is currently installed.
]]>If I go into Firefox pop-up settings, I can see that https://updraftplus.com pop-up is “allowed”. So why, when I click “dashboard” it still says “Firefox prevented this site from opening a pop-up window”.
If I can’t open UpdraftCentral dashboards for sites, then it is completely useless.
I have already closed and restarted Firefox.
]]>Nothing..
After 24 hours – all the same.. I need to wait something..
PLEASE WAIT, ACTION IN PROGRESS..
What i need to do to make it happen?
Till now all i have done is 3 things:
-Downloaded and activated plugin
-Made new page
-Added Updraftcentral code in that page and saved…
What I am missing?
It should be easier….
Thank you
]]>I don’t know if it’s the www.ads-software.com plugin area settings/video player, or if it’s the way Updraft embedded the video explainer, but, there is NOTHING more annoying than a video you have no control over nor have any idea how long it is.
]]>I have a dedicated site only for Updraft Central free from which I manage all my sites.
For a month all my sites have had UpdraftPlus Premium and Easy Uppdate Manager Premium (even the one with UpdraftCentral) and now UpdraftCentral free no longer manages any site, not even regenerating the connection key.
The response for all is:
?Communications error
There was an error in contacting the remote site. You should check that the remote site is online, is not firewalled, has remote control enabled, and that no security module is blocking the access. Then, check the logs on the remote site and your browser’s JavaScript console. If none of that helps, then you should try re-adding the site with a fresh key.?
If I knew it was like that, I didn’t buy anything at all. With the free versions of the plugins everything worked fine, albeit with few options.
Thanks
]]>Hi,
(sorry to have posted this request to the wrong forum before. This is the correct forum, I suppose)
I was wondering what to do to resolve the following:
I have updraft central Dashboard installed to manage some 6-7 sites. Works perfectly, with one exception:
On large updates (i.e. themes with lots of images, big plugins like wpforms), the update process hangs on the “mothership” with a timeout error and it’s just not showing as updated in the update central dashboard.
Nonetheless, the update is done on the target sites. When I look into the dashboard in the target site, the update is done.
is it possible that the dashboard is not patient enough for the server to finish the update? Or that the target site is too busy to report anything to the mothership?
And no, the server is not behind a firewall and not password protected.
Anything to resolve this?
Anything to worry about if I just ignore it?
I am trying to restore my site and the category “others” has been downloading and running without any progress for 20 minutes. What is that? Can I skip?
