 * Thanks for the report…
 * Unfortunately WordPress’s plugin repository seems to be malfunctioning throughout
   today… but in the meantime, whilst you wait for an update, you can do this:
 * 1. Log in to your WP admin console. Go into the ‘plugins’ section, and choose‘
   plugin editor’ (from the menu). Edit the file updraftplus/updraftplus.php
 * 2. Find this line:
 * $created = $this->create_zip(‘others’, $other_dirlist, $updraft_dir, $backup_file_basename);
 * 3. Swap the order of the first two parameters to the function call, so that it
   reads:
 * $created = $this->create_zip($other_dirlist, ‘others’, $updraft_dir, $backup_file_basename);
 * 4. Save it. Be careful not to introduce any typos, otherwise your whole site 
   will not be reachable and you’ll only be able to fix it via using FTP and a text
   editor.
