You certainly solved the supposed rate limiting issue as per email notification, which corrected the back up issues on one blog https://www.zeropointstate.com

A fatal error occurred: Forbidden. Your app is making too many requests and is being rate limited. 503s can trigger on a per-app or per-user basis.

Also on https://www.eastwestmartialarts.org I’ve also been able to kick start back-ups here too, I understand W3 Cache plugin was causing some issue with WPB2DB so I deactivated it then deleted it but the issue persisted. After some recent investigation I’d discovered that this plugin does not un-install cleanly it leaves some files behind…

It turns out these files were the culprits! Once I’d manually deleted these WPB2DB resumed backing up with out a hitch!

advanced-cache.php, db.php, w3tc/, w3-total-cache-config.php from wp-content/ in addition to wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/ I think this is all of them they may have been a w3-object-cahce too.

Still not working on the second blog I was talking about (two different servers), it just refuses to play ball on (www.eastwestmartialarts.org) it worked and now doesn’t, hasn’t worked since approximately October last year. It won’t even create a directory on dropbox for back up.

Not particularly just a small standard wordpress install, with around 15 plugins a dozen pages or so, nothing out of the ordinary…

Also never heard back from Dropbox (Which was helpful!)

One blog (www.zeropointstate.com) is working backing up off of a Rackspace CloudServer fine now.

But I still can no longer back up a clients site (www.eastwestmartialarts.org) from a 123 reg VPS configured with a PleskCP 11.09 running Unbuntu 10.0.4.1 (5.3.2-1ubuntu4.18) even on the latest update 1.4.3 WPB2DB doesn’t even create a directory either anymore.

I did have problems with both backing up as you know yet why one is working again I can’t for the life of me understand why, I did try to back-up the clients site (www.eastwestmartialarts.org) on another Dropbox account still with no luck…

I can’t see how it would be per user as I’d never used Dropbox until I started using WPB2DB. Nothing else had been backed up until I’d switched on camera uploading and text expander syncing a couple of days ago.

One mysterious thing has happened, out of the two blogs I’m attempting to run one of them backed up in full! the first time since the 26th October, the other blog hasn’t backed up since the 15th October…

Yes I’m using the latest version of the plugin and apart from this one odd unexpected successful back up they fail to even get started.

No they were at different times, in fact I’ve now set them up to back up weekly, spaced apart by several days but it seems as though the damage has been done, for now anyway… I have contacted Dropbox but still haven’t heard anything back it’s been over three weeks and counting.

I am successfully backing up and syncing via my iPhone, text expander and camera uploads but your app seems blocked, I’m at a loss myself too.

I thought the same thing mikeprince but I got one further back up and then they continued to fail again, I purchased the error reporting email plugin and this is what I received

A fatal error occured: Forbidden. Your app is making too many requests and is being rate limited. 503s can trigger on a per-app or per-user basis. All I was doing was backing up my blog daily. Since then nothing has worked.

I still haven’t had this question answered either by the developer or by dropbox…

I only get broken categories returning an Error 404 with that plug-in active, deactivate WordPress SEO 1.2.5 and all is fixed, back on and categories are broken again.

What is the situation with a fix for WordPress SEO 1.2.5?

I turn it off the Categories work, I turn it on and the plug-in breaks categories after the WordPress update 3.4.1

Any progress?

It’s a problem with the WordPress SEO plugin from Yoast, we’re waiting for a fix. Take a look at this thread, it may help.

WordPress SEO 1.2.5 in use and Categories return an error 404 with WP 3.4.1, no caching plug-in is installed, genesis framework and generate theme installed, all posts, pages, tags do work though, any safe fixes yet?
