Miami River Art Fair

I deleted some of our big files and we were able to generate a working backup with your online vault.

Thanks anyway!

Hi Jason, Thank you for your help!

The size of the downloaded size: 95.8 MB. It fully downloads, it’s just that it keeps saying decompression failed (this is my 5th attempt today).

The backup size according to your plugin is:
The size of the backup file is: 143.25 MiB

I just want to uncompress the backup, it is not encrypted.

Thanks again!

Cheers esmi, I’ll do the cosmetic fix (3.4 upgrade notification) sometime next week. I am swamped with work and I haven’t gotten around to doing it.

I see a lot of people are having the same issue. Try esmi’s suggestions (#3 worked for me). If you need help with FTP or are new to it, download Filezilla and read this: https://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Using

I hope that helps! If you are still stuck, just make a new thread so mods can help you directly. I am going to mark my issue as resolved.

Take care all!

I had the art fair director behind me and didn’t want to click that button and watch the website explode. ;p I went ahead and clicked it and it instantly updated and redirected me to a working /wp-admin page.

Step 3 worked like a charm! Thank you esmi!

gg!

Only a cosmetic question now: There is a yellow banner at the top of every page in /wp-admin that says: An automated WordPress update has failed to complete – please attempt the update again now.

I’m guessing it’s thinking I haven’t updated to 3.4.

Any thoughts? Thanks again!

Okay, did Step 3 and now I am greeted with the following message when i got to /wp-admin:

Database Update Required

WordPress has been updated! Before we send you on your way, we have to update your database to the newest version.

The update process may take a little while, so please be patient.

Do I go ahead and do this? Only reason I’m so apprehensive is because, well frankly this is scary. ?? haha.

I have my sql database back up sitting on my desktop, will I need that for the next steps after clicking that button.

Cheers esmi, thanks for your time and for making this process so much less scary.

Haha, point taken. What I meant to say was fronted seems fine, the website seems to be running the same as before the update.

Did steps 1 & 2, re-uploading everything from the fresh download in the repository except for the wp-content folder, fingers crossed!

Cheers esmi, will try this right away. I do want to note however, site is working perfectly fine. ??

Just having trouble getting into the back end.

Thanks for the quick response! Going through your steps as we speak.

Cheers!
