The manual reversion (to ver 6.1.15) worked. I’ll just wait to get an all-clear before re-updating to 6.1.17 or whatever comes after. Maybe this was all symptom of WF releasing a wiggy update couple days ago…

I’m reverting back to a prior WF version from backup. Thinking that may help return the functionality … and feel safer.

My Wordfence plug-in also all magically “updated” at 8:07am this am (EST) without my doing anything and with no other log ins (no other Admins anyway) Plus, now WF has disappeared from my installed plugin’s list in WP Dashboard – as if it isn’t even there. VERY DISCONCERTING.

Right. Showed them the log and message before I reached out to you; but at that time we didn’t know where UP was trying to write the .tmp – now I know how to answer that question. Will pursue them and advise. Thx, Kirk

btw: thx much for staying tuned to this. sorry to be handing you such a conundrum.

/usr/local/apache/htdocs/thecenterforhealthenhancement.com/wp/wp-content/uploads is the correct full directory path to /uploads. And I can drag things in and out of it freely via ftp; has 777 permissions, so isn’t that basically wide open?

Just tried define(‘PCLZIP_TEMPORARY_DIR’, ABSPATH.’wp-content/updraft’); as an alternate – same outcome, same error.

Is this for sure a permissions issue? Just poked around further up the chain… see that I have no permission to directly access /usr or /local or /apache in the chain. Can see contents of /htdocs, and noticed that /thecenterforhealthenhancement.com folder within has more restrictive read/write permissions (750), then folders within it.

Here’s full line from variables list:

PCLZIP_TEMPORARY_DIR /usr/local/apache/htdocs/thecenterforhealthenhancement.com/wp/wp-content/uploads

I’ll suss out the pastebin deletion later; as you say.. nothing too revealing.

the PCLZIP_TEMPORARY_DIR does show up with specified path to /wp-content/uploads. so it’s properly defined in wp-config.

Here’s full log from latest Backup attempt: https://pastebin.com/ZB0gGrhm

(can I delete a pastebin once you’ve see it? don’t want it out there for the world; never used pastebin before)

Thanks. But hmmm. Just tried it and still have same issue. Correctly named zips are created (very very quickly), stored in UP and uploaded to DB, but they are essentially empty when unzipped – do not contain the actual files they should. Just a folder or two of … nothing.

Would it help to share a full or partial log*? Best way to do that?

*Lots of lines that show “on disk size:0kb” like this excerpt: 0002.601 (0) Zip: backup_2014-10-16-1620_(sitename} _cea77d4a6bcf-plugins.zip.tmp: 2500 files added (on-disk size: 0 Kb)

(And yes, of course I will look into buying the Premium product. Still a semi-newbie at WP and building these sites as learning experience.)

Clarification of above: Themes folder, Plugins folder are 775 permissions. But Updraft Plus’s subfolder is 755. Overall wp-content housing these is 775
