The same thing is going on for me – with “delete local backup” already selected but it’s still saving them. I tried to use pastebin but it said I exceeded the max size of kb to paste.

I just upgraded to 4.9.1 and the Add Media button in Edit Post no longer works (in Firefox, Edge, or Chrome). I also cannot drop photos to the post. This has nothing to do with my server. The only change is my wordpress install.

The only way to upload photos is to go to Media Library and Upload New Media.

Can you just use a Dropbox link? That way it would always have the most updated file without any uploading involvement from you.

Of course. The one time I do something out of the ordinary (look at a Live Preview on my main Theme)… UGH.

And just like that, I have backups in Dropbox. I am guessing it was because I hadn’t fully authenticated dropbox before starting the backup process.

However, if people are like me and don’t read the full settings page first, I can see the same thing happening. So it appears to be backing up but we don’t actually get the files anywhere. Are they in the ether somewhere or did they error out?

Well, now nothing works. I tell it to do a backup, it says “Requesting start of backup…” then “Security check” then nothing happens.

It does say “Backups, logs & restoring: 1 set(s) available” from 11/26 and I did receive an email last night saying

UpdraftPlus: WordPress backup is complete.
Backup contains: Files and database
Latest status: The backup apparently succeeded and is now complete

ETA: I closed the tab then reopened the Settings and now it’s creating file backup zips.

There’s nothing online, either. I’m trying it again because I had a thought – I started the backup BEFORE authenticating Dropbox. I thought it might still work since I did it VERY shortly after starting the backup, but maybe it needs to be complete before.

Okay, I found the two PHP files used for the plugin. Can these be modified to work on WordPress?

Here is one of the files content:

	* either in the subclass declaration or in the subclass constructor.

	function PluginInit( & $params )

	}

	/**

	function init_display( $params = array() )
	{
		$temp = $this->get_widget_param_definitions( array() );
		$full_params = array();
		foreach( $temp as $setting => $values )

		foreach( $params as $param => $value )
			$full_params[ $param ] = $value;
		return $full_params;
	}

	function SkinTag( $params )
	{
		// If the widget params aren't set up, using the plugin defaults
		$params = $this->init_display( $params );
		$this->showblock( $params );

		return true;
	}

	/**

	function showblock( $params )
	{

		<?php
