So I deactivated the plugin and deleted the backup folder which brought me some errors. I reuploaded the backup folder, uninstalled the plugin and now when I try to reinstall the plugin I receive the following error:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method ShortPixel\ShortPixelPlugin::alterHtaccess() in

1 – Your backup folder is NOT writable
2 – Your backup folder MIGHT be visible to the public
The ‘Path To Backup’ is incorrect. It looks like the path from previous host. If I go to the Database Options and try to save the new correct path, it does not save it.
Kindly help me
Thank you!

Your backup folder is NOT writable
To correct this issue, make the folder /home/theblog7/public_html/wp-content/backup-db writable.
Your backup folder MIGHT be visible to the public
To correct this issue, move the file from /home/theblog7/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager/htaccess.txt to /home/theblog7/public_html/wp-content/backup-db/.htaccess
To correct this issue, move the file from /home/theblog7/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager/index.php to /home/theblog7/public_html/wp-content/backup-db/index.php
I’m not sure where to start. How do I find those files and move them?
Thank you!
]]>I suggest a notice “temp folder can not be written to”, “backup file can not be written to”, “log file…”
I suggest adding to the (unredacted version of the) log, “Suggested backup folder: /user/USERNAME/backups/ based on your WordPress installation folder /user/USERNAME/public_html/ “
Here’s PHP I use:
/* Determine where to log errors. Important to have server (.htaccess) security prevent outsiders reading the error log file, or to put it in a folder above public_html */
if (!function_exists('posix_getpwuid') ) {
/* default Xampp doesn't have posix_getpwuid(), which is for shared hosting */
/* LunarPages sets PHPRC */
/* SiteGround doesn't set PHPRC */
if (getenv("PHPRC") !== false ) {
/* testing !getenv doesn't work??? testing against false works */
/* set to the hosting account main site's document root (e.g. public_html ) */
$logFolder = getenv("PHPRC");
} else {
/* set to the web site root, each site will have an error_log */
$logFolder = $docroot;
}
} else {
/* set to the hosting account root, e.g. the folder that contains public_html */
$userInfo = posix_getpwuid(posix_getuid());
/* Array

$logFolder = $userInfo["dir"];
}
$logFile = $logFolder."/error_log";
if (isset($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE']) && (strpos( $_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'Microsoft-IIS' ) !== FALSE) ) {
$logFile = $docroot."/error_log";

]]>The backup folder for an existing job changed, also resulting in former backups not being displayed under “Backups”. By changing it back in the job this problem seems to be resolved.
After I did this I ran the backup to see if everything works, but I get a warning a folder can’t be read. I didn’t change the permissions of this folder, it is excluded and I never had this warning before. Any ideas why this is happening?

]]>Your backup folder MIGHT be visible to the public
To correct this issue, move the .htaccess file from wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager to /home/content/32/10343432/html/wp-content/backup-db
I have done what it says but still receive the message. Can anyone assist?
]]>I just noticed that my backup archives are HUGE. Checked the database, nothing there (very tiny).
It seems that with the latest version (2.1.3) they/you changed the backups folder (honestly, I cannot remember, whether I defined the old one myself or whether it was done by the plugin) and the old backups folder was not added to the exclude rules. This happened on Nov 22nd (probably when I last updated the plugin).
So yeah, everything is ok – but I suggest if you (automatically) change the output folder of the backup files, you should either move the existing backups there too (which is better), or add that directory to exclusion rules.

]]>Here is the error message:

To correct this issue, move the .htaccess file from wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager to /home/……/public_html/countrygarden/wp-content/backup-db
Where you see the ….. that’s pointing to the wrong home directory. I’d been hacked and the old home directory was replaced with a new one with a different name.
I can’t seem to find where I can make that correction.
Any ideas?
