I’ve had it happen more than once. Are you sure your code isn’t referencing the wrong value somewhere in the pipe with respect to the full/incremental? * If it helps, it seems to be backups generated just after deleting or overwriting another full one. * Greg * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Online Backup for WordPress] [Plugin: Online Backup for WordPress] 357mb WPOnlineBackup_Full.zip.enc download stops at before com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-online-backup-for-wordpress-357mb-wponlinebackup_fullzipenc-download-stops-at-before-complete/) * Thread Starter [exploremarsgreg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/exploremarsgreg/) * (@exploremarsgreg) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-online-backup-for-wordpress-357mb-wponlinebackup_fullzipenc-download-stops-at-before-complete/page/2/#post-2730776) * Anytime, Jason.

When scheduling a backup currently the only options are to choose only one of the following: * Type of backup to perform: Perform an incremental backup to the online vault Perform a full backup and email it to the specified address * I suggest the two can be configured mutually exclusive of each other easily: * Type of backup to perform (choose one): O Incremental O Full * Destination (choose any combination): [] Email (attachment) [] Email (download URL) [] Save a copy to the online vault (offsite) [] Save a copy to the specified folder: [___________________________________] * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Slideshow Gallery LITE] [Plugin: Slideshow Gallery] Doesn't render, poorly documented, text required](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slideshow-gallery-doesnt-render-poorly-documented-text-required/) * Thread Starter [exploremarsgreg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/exploremarsgreg/) * (@exploremarsgreg) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slideshow-gallery-doesnt-render-poorly-documented-text-required/#post-2808953) * 1. Having a title/text display optional is a fairly obvious desired feature, isn’t it? The internal identifier is in the slide ID, at least that’s what it appears you use to refer to a slide. * I only mean a better solution might be to allow a null title; if the title and description are both null, don’t display an empty textbox – just display the image. If a null title breaks the code somehow, allow the user to put a single space or something like I did and check for it when it’s time to display the slide. Another option could be to create an additional boolean flag, or something similar. * The more individually customizable each slide’s behavior is, the more versatile the app is. * 2. Most slides have links, of course, it’s just our initial title slide has neither text nor a link. In this case with no link is not specified it seems to default back to the same page… at least it used to before it failed to display at all. I even uninstalled the plugin, nuked the dir and upon reinstall it still fetched slides from the corrupt previous install. I deleted all these and all galleries, and recreated new ones, and it STILL would not display – no punctuation used. I don’t know for sure if it was the quote or the apostrophe – since a failure to deal with an apostrophe properly could result in an odd db write. * 3. It’s reasonable to ask, though hosting is fine, caching was not an issue, I refreshed and obtained the same results in multiple browsers. I ended up using“ Easy Rotator” while I searched for an implemented “Content Slide” — [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/content-slide](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/content-slide). Incidentally it still displays a small text bar and links back to the existing page when no text or link is specified, very similar to your plugin (which has a better slide+gallery configuration interface) so I am guessing you’re both using some of the same code. * Where else would configuration be stored, in the database? Perhaps a script to remove all slideshow data would be useful? * Sorry I couldn’t upload screenshots, this forum doesn’t support it and linking to our domain is apparently considered improper, which makes sense to control spam.

The original gallery shows 12 slides, when only 10 exist.

While we greatly appreciate the ability to handle more than ten slides, it seems a couple of issues persist: * 1) A slide description is optional, but title is still required. It accepts a space and presumably displays the space in a single popup bar. We’d like to have some slides, particularly our title slide, appear without text or the popup bar. Is there a supported method or workaround for displaying a slide only? * 2) Even with “no link” specified there’s still an assumed link of some sort – forcing the page to reload. Shouldn’t there be a conditional check for this flag that doesn’t display the box+arrow link in the center of the slide? * 3) A more serious bug JUST occurred. Editing a slide to have quotes and an apostrophe( such as “Didn’t Click on it” – with the quotes) crashes the plugin — even after the quotes are removed. Excluding the slide from the slideshow didn’t fix. * Thanks again, Greg * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Slideshow Gallery LITE] [Plugin: Slideshow Gallery] Doesn't render, poorly documented, text required](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slideshow-gallery-doesnt-render-poorly-documented-text-required/) * Thread Starter [exploremarsgreg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/exploremarsgreg/) * (@exploremarsgreg) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slideshow-gallery-doesnt-render-poorly-documented-text-required/#post-2808910) * Thanks, I’m happy to find the update, since we ended up going with this plugin, at least in the short run. Unlike Easy Rotator, I’m impressed the “Fade” effect is standard, but more notably the interface is simpler, it’s javascript, and configuration doesn’t require external plugins (Adobe “Air”). * Our live site is running 2.9.2 – if plugin v1.2.2 is safe for this older WordPress version, I’ll upgrade right away. * Best regards, Greg * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[EasyRotator for WordPress - Slider Plugin] [Plugin: EasyRotator for WordPress – Slider Builder] Embed HTML generation transition changes](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-easyrotator-for-wordpress-slider-builder-embed-html-generation-transition-changes/) * Thread Starter [exploremarsgreg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/exploremarsgreg/) * (@exploremarsgreg) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-easyrotator-for-wordpress-slider-builder-embed-html-generation-transition-changes/#post-2807586) * Wasn’t aware of that.

Even after fixing, the escape sequences show in the slides. I’m afraid we’ll have to go with a different solution, but I’ll keep this one in mind, please reply if the bugs are fixed.
