Moderator, sorry and thank you for letting us know!
Hello,
First a thank you for making this plugin available for free!
I have only tested manual back up so far, and did a quick manual comparison to see if the files reflected the wordpress install, it seems to be working fine. Even tho, after clicking back up now at some point, the status got stuck, but later clicking on WP2DP showed the status as complete. (Omniweb 5.0).
I have had one warning with a huge file about php memory. All the rest is good.
I removed that file as I did not really need it.I have a suggestion for a premium extension, which would be to have a restore option. Either partial in case of corruption of a folder, or file. Or complete from a fresh install. This would make this plugin perfect! (But maybe that is a nightmare to create for you Michael, I have no clues).
Also, relating to the issue in this initial thread. Maybe it would be good to have some kind of log/tables that let us see all the files that have been backed up/updated (including date stamps/comparison maybe), or at least that highlights the files that have been backed up and that were not previously already backed up. It would be easy for us, if we maintain our own blogs, I guess we have some kind of mental record of what would have changed since the lasts scheduled back up . Back ups are always a little scary as yes we hardly ever find out it it was successful or not until we have to restore.
Also, it seems paradoxal, but while I like using free services like dropbox, I am a little paranoid to put my files out there in a non controlled environment. So while dropbox provides some level of security. I would feel better knowing that I have my own level of encryption to protects myself from dropbox itself. Maybe that could be a nice add on maybe when zipping.
So what might be easy in that case, is when a back up starts it encrypts/compress, store a copy on the local server and move one to dropbox . then we can easily compare sizes too.
It would also be nice if we could store the back up on the local server but outside of the wordpress install directory. Maybe the option is included but I miss the point.
If my suggestions seems stupid 🙂 Ignore them! Anyways, Thank you, I hope this plugin really takes off for you. You deserve to cash in on this at some point if it proves to work well! (as it seems to so far).
p.s. we can moan about what’s gone wrong, but at least lets show some appreciation for what works! There are plenty of paid services, if it’s so important for you, sure they are still relatively cheap when considering the stress it takes off your shoulders!

In reply to: [WordPress HTTPS (SSL)] [Plugin: WordPress HTTPS (SSL)] PermalinkThis is awesome! And I have to say thank you as it seems to work! I’ll let you know if I notice any bugs!
I am not sure what you mean as for the record! When I was in the post editor before Enable Force SSL Exclusively, the slug definitely put my shared SSL address by default I.e.http://xxx.hostageprovide.com/%postname% (That might have been the point you just made, but not reassuring when you first try it!)
But I have to admit I didn’t test it to see if that would the case (reflect) once published on the public side! (If you want me to test it I can).
Now, I am not the most savyy guy out there 🙂 (maybe a good reason to make it idiot proof) 🙂
But I initially assumed forcing for admin, would not compromise or influence my public side of the website (non admin side). http://mysite.com
So maybe you can make it clear somewhere that you need both, forcing for admin (http://xxx.hostageprovide.com/) and Enable Force SSL Exclusively so that it works for your admin and doesn’t conflict with your public side! I hope you understand what I mean! In my own stupid world 🙂 Forcing for admin only concerns the admin side 🙂
Now that I have done both (There is no confusion), when creating a post, the slug shows as http://mysite.com/%postname% (even tho my admin post edit URL is http://xxx.hostageprovide.com/wp-admin/post-new.php) so that it is easy for me to understand it is supposed to be working ( I have also tested it and it works)
If I don’t notice any conflicts i will definitely make a small donation 🙂 Unless I buy SSL! Coz you saved me $50 box 🙂 Many thanks!
To be honest I could set up htaccess ect! (as per wordpress codex, and it would look cleaner but not provide more real security as far as I understand as I am the admin ; this is set up only for admin, and I have set it up myself), But as I don’t have root access to set up a self signed SSl. your plugin really rules and helped me! I don’t mind to have an admin URL that is my shared & Free certificate URL (http://xxx.hostageprovide.com/) , no normal user will be aware about it! (Unless I missed something else, please let me know) Thank you so much!
*for generic users information, my hosting is servage, I chose it a few years back as it was cheap. I lost root access but it served the purpose for a few cheap clients. They shared ssl definitely seems to work with your wonderful plugin. otherwise for consumers interest! I have had a few down time with servage, and my sites hacked with old wordpress versions. But no major problems over the last three years! But yes I have increased the basic wordpress security plugins, directory access and password! Check google for the latest solutions!
Thank you plugin maker! You deserve a few bucks from anyone using your plugin! If you want a tattoo design I’ll do it for free! (Japanese style only).
There are many aspects you can work on to avoid security breaches.
Take your time, google it for the latest updates and do your best.Security is like paranoia. Once you start working it out you realise its almost endless.
However, since I did some basics, I haven’t had any problems!Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: upgrading to 2.9, Database, Illegal mix of collationsThanks for this, switched to UFT, then I don’t get the error message, and it fucks the rest. I am confused as it was all fine before the 2.9 upgrade? Anyone else experiencing the same problem or who knows the answer? Thank you!
