I asked about your name because I invited you in GTalk. Let’s discuss the issue there.

Is your name Alex?

Lee,

Please update the plugin to version 1.1.5 and see if it works.

Please update to version 1.1.5 of the plugin and tell me if there’s any difference.

The Google Drive API is for apps that can be used to open files from inside Drive (right click > open with) and the apps need to be Chrome apps that show up in the Chrome Web Store, so no, I shouldn’t be using the Drive API.

That is so weird. The URI is correct. It’s working on my end without a problem. There might be different URLs for different users.

I will have to look into it. Problem is the documentation Google provides is so inaccurate. They write something in the docs and then implement it differently.

The plugin actually uses the Docs List API because the GDrive API requires the creation of a Chrome app at the time being. But what most people don’t know is that Google Docs = Google Drive.

Hi,

You need to install the php-zip extension for the plugin to work.

The process is different depending on the operating system you use. Just google it and you should have no problem finding how to install it.

The function file_get_contents is failing for some reason and we need to see the error it generates. To see this error please remove the @ symbol preceding the function call on line 393. Depending on your setup you might see the error on screen or in a error log file.

Hi pisymbol,

Did you manage to figure out the error_log problem? Care to share?

As for the current problem. First make sure you’re running version 1.1.4 of the plugin. Then please tell me if what you’re seeing in the folder field on the Backup settings page after saving is indeed what you entered.

On the relevant log entry that you pasted above you should be seeing folder%3A<folder hash>.

It doesn’t matter what you name your uploads folder, the plugin backs up the entire wp-content directory.
Or do you mean to say you’re keeping your uploads folder outside of wp-content?

For everyone reading this and wanting to post their issues: Please create a new thread if your issue is not the same or related to the one the original poster has.

This way we keep things organized and easier to find.

Thanks!

Hi pedal,

The blank page you see is normal. That link is for people to use in cron jobs so it shouldn’t output anything.

As for the problems you’re having with the backup of the larger site please take a look at the log file generated by the plugin (wp-content/backup/backup.log). If you need help you can paste the lines with errors here.

Oh, there’s one thing you need to remember. When pasting the log this time there should be a token in there which you do not want to make public (anyone with this token would be able to do anything on your Google Drive).

The token should be a long random string just after “Authorization: Bearer “. Just tell me if the token is there and tell me the length of it but don’t paste it.

We are on the right track. So Google sais we’re not making the request right. Let’s see what the request header looks like:

Update to 1.1.4 and again paste the log entries here.

I accidentally broke the plugin with version 1.1.2 so please update to 1.1.3.
