Thanks so much, @mrkingid. That tip worked! That enabled the S3 option to appear on the first tab.

I did run into a bunch of other errors with S3, such as, despite “US – Standard” being selected:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Guzzle\Service\Exception\ValidationException’ with message ‘Validation errors: [LocationConstraint] must be one of “EU” or “eu-west-1” or “us-west-1” or “us-west-2” or “ap-southeast-1” or “ap-northeast-1” or “sa-east-1″‘ in /home/cybnet/public_html/about/wp-content/plugins/backwpup/sdk/Aws/Guzzle/Service/Command/AbstractCommand.php:376 Stack trace: #0 /home/cybnet/public_html/about/wp-content/plugins/backwpup/sdk/Aws/Guzzle/Service/Command/AbstractCommand.php(272): Guzzle\Service\Command\AbstractCommand->validate() #1 /home/cybnet/public_html/about/wp-content/plugins/backwpup/sdk/Aws/Guzzle/Service/Client.php(223): Guzzle\Service\Command\AbstractCommand->prepare() #2 /home/cybnet/public_html/about/wp-content/plugins/backwpup/sdk/Aws/Guzzle/Service/Command/AbstractCommand.php(162): Guzzle\Service\Client->execute(Object(Guzzle\Service\Command\OperationCommand)) #3 /home/cybnet/public_html/about/wp-content/plugins/backwpup/sdk/Aws/Guzzle/Service/Command/AbstractCommand.php(213): Guzzle\Servic in /home/xxxxx/public_html/about/wp-content/plugins/backwpup/sdk/Aws/Guzzle/Service/Command/AbstractCommand.php on line 376

Lots of errors still. Am running a backup now, and will see how that goes.

And now after making some other changes S3 has disappeared from the Destinations column when looking at the list of jobs.

well that’s what I had to do, delete the plugin files. maybe seeing both plugins are in the top list of plugins used, some tweaking would help so they can both be on at the same time. thanks.

or should I just get in to the back end and delete the plugin files, effectively disabling it!

Or should I just get in to the back end and delete the WP Maintenance mode plugin?

Ha ha… thanks for your help, and so quickly ??

I’ll check out what the deal is with that function, and also check out catn.com.

THanks!

It turns out that it was indeed a bad coincidence, that I just noticed the problems after activating the JetPack plugin. Apparently Dreamhost had a catastrophic failure on some raided drives (huh?) and DBs were restored, but I was not notified.

Thanks for all your help.

Thanks, Andy. I’ll check with them. It’s not just what I see that has gone, but everything under the hood, including widgets added, a user added, changing the editor name for the posts, and so on, so it is like it is an old version of the DB is in place, but I did not do that myself, and the only thing that changed was installing JetPack. (Deactivating WP Super Cache doesn’t do anything to all of those posts and pages added / edited, etc. – I did try that.)

Fwustwating.

It also deleted a user added last night.

Background details: I installed the plugin directly from within WordPress, and it all seemed to go OK, with no error messages, and happening quickly. My site is on Dreamhost and I have the WP Super Cache plugin installed, but it was not enabled because I was not ready to to that yet.
