[Plugin: WordPress Backup to Dropbox] Incorrect Path

  • This is probably a problem on my server end, but if anyone can spot an easy fix, I’d appreciate it. This is the error I get when the plugin tries to backup:

    Backup warning on 2011-06-09 at 07:27:30: Could not upload ‘E:\PHL1\Custpub\MWS\GoDirect\blog\xmlrpc.php’ due to the following error: Error while uploading E:\PHL1\Custpub\MWS\GoDirect\blog\xmlrpc.php to Dropbox.

    Gday supergrover44,

    This error is due to the fact that Windows uses backslashes ‘\’ as directory separators and the Dropbox API does not allow them.

    I have committed a patch to trunk that should fix this issue. I did not version bump the plugin because the bug only affects Windows users.

    Please re download 0.8 and let me know how it goes.

    Cheers,
    Mikey
