• Hi,

    Like many others, I was very satisfied with this plugin until some time ago I started receiving the “WARNING: strpos(): Offset not contained in string” that many others have reported. I was happy to read the positive comments that this problem now was supposed to be solved with BackWPup v3.1.2.

    However, after installing v3.1.2 today I still receive errors when I attempt to backup. Admittedly, the “strpos()” warning is no longer there, but I get the error message “ERROR: Could not generate a WordPress export file”. From earlier posts here, I first tried with settings with increased max execution time, and when this failed I also tried with the default settings.

    I would appreciate any help on this issue. I’ve pasted my log file for your info below.

    Best wishes,
    Hans

  • I’m having the same problem, on 3.1.2. I only get this part of the error:

    ERROR: Could not generate a WordPress export file.

    Version/Server info:

    I’ve tried adjusting the execution time from 0, to 30, 45, 90, 100 … nothing helps. Any other ideas?

    @daniel: Nope. Same warnings appear on scheduled backups after modifying max execution time to 100s.

    @hans:
    did you have very large files in the Backup ?
    @wyldesites:
    please test the beta described above.

    (@hans-ehrencrona)

    @daniel: The complete archive size is about 45 MB. Do you mean individual files? If so, what would constitue a “large” file? I can dig down in the archive if you wish.

    Any update on a fix for this problem – I just installed the latest version – check all the boxes and I get the error

    But if I just select that option on its own then the XML file job does run OK.

    any ideas pls ?

    Thanks
