Hi,
I upgraded to 1.0 and things went very well.

However, after upgrading now to 1.0.1 things went wrong again and taxonomies now no longer show under custom post types. ):

I wish I hadn’t upgraded to this one.

What can I do now to get them back?

Thanks.

Hi Michael,
Sorry for the delay, I had all sorts of issues trying to install a local copy of my website but I managed to get it done.

I removed the old plugin and installed the new one I downloaded from github.com and here are my comments:

1. the Automatic WP installer didn’t work and I had to install it manually.

2. Once activated all my custom posts and taxonomies were back to normal and everything seems OK to me now.

3. Pretty permalinks isn’t working on my localhost but the links are working when I revert to the WP default permalinks, and I don’t think this is related to your plugin in any way.

Hope that helps.

Yes, I can give it a try on a local copy of my site as I don’t want to see my links broken again (:

Will be glad to give it a try.

Thank you again @michael Beckwith,
I just updated to 0.9.5 and things are back to normal.

Thank you for your quick response and action.

Will update and hope things get back to normal for me.

Regards,

I also noticed one more thing,
when I went into custom taxonomies to save them they weren’t attached to any custom post types and I had to reassign that myself.

Thank you for this support thread, it solved my problem.
I had installed your plugin and then abandoned it because I couldn’t get the thumbnail to show up and it was critical for me that it did.

I managed to solve my issue by reading this thread.

Many thanks.

I am sorry but I had already deleted that backup as it took a lot of space and I didn’t want to keep it!

Thank you for the info and I sure will rate it soon.

Just to update you on my progress, things were going just fine until it reached files 17000 out of 21000 where is started to slow down again and gave the following error.

“The attempt to close the zip file returned an error (Unknown: ZipArchive does not return error messages). List of files we were trying to add follows (check their permissions). (Oct 22 10:47:24)”

HI David,
Thank you for the answers.

I upgraded and things seem a lot nicer now and the new backup is running much faster after the upgrade.

Just a suggestion, looking at the backups, it doesn’t say how much is each zip archive and it’s always good to know that so I hope this is something that can be added to the plugin so I can know the file size before downloading it to my local PC.

Thank you for your reply.

I tried to use the delete schedule, but it wouldn’t stop and still working for over 24 hours now!

I also keep getting this error while working,
A zip error occurred – check your log for more details. (Oct 21 19:43:02)

Does that mean anything?

And wouldn’t updating the plugin while it’s working break my site?

Regards,

OK, so how can I stop it then?

Also, I just got notified of a new version of the plugin, can I upgrade the plugin while the backup is working or will that lead to errors?

Thanks.

Hi David,
Thank you for your prompt reply.

My understanding is that size is for the full archive not just a single one as files display in a different message like this one,

File: uploads/2012/04/versa_capital_logo-150×75.png (exists: 1, is_readable: 1 size: 8329) (Oct 21 10:42:29)

And most of them are small in size.

So, why are they being added one by one and notifying me with each one added?

I keep messages like this one,

Adding batch to zip file (UpdraftPlus_ZipArchive): over 25 Mb added on this batch (276.1 Mb, 20919 files batched, 1 (18867) added so far); re-opening (prior size: 332845.4 Kb) (Oct 21 10:24:04)

It seems to be adding files one by one and notifying me with each file being added?
Is that true?

This link shows you how to overcome the maintenance error and then try restoring your plugins and theme and see if that fixes your error,
