In reply to: [UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin] Dropbox Backup Files are not deleted
keysnparrots

6 years ago
I have been experiencing the same issue on multiple sites for probably a couple or three months now. UpdraftPlus shows only the number of backups I have set to retain until I click “Rescan remote storage”. I have to delete old backups manually.

The list of backups also shows some backups as not including all five components and without a “View Log” button.

(How do I add a screenshot? I don’t see any way.)

…which is exactly what people have been trying to tell you. You’re doing it wrong. Use noindex meta tags instead of robots.txt.

Noindex on your own server can be over ridden (forced) by the attribute in a link pointing to your site

There is no such thing as a noindex attribute on a link. You’re talking about nofollow, about which Google says, “In general, we don’t follow them.”

noindex can only be used in a page’s meta tags, and Google does not allow links on other sites to override it; the idea is ridiculous. Imagine if other sites could tell Google not to index yours at all!

The approach you are using causes warnings in Google Search Console and Google provides instructions for correcting this by using noindex. Period. There’s nothing left to debate. You’re doing it wrong.

Thanks for your quick reply.

I am interested in exploring this further. I’ve just looked at the Nginx access log and found the three requests from the Russian IP that triggered the oembed alerts, preceded by an identical request one second earlier from a Vietnamese IP that did not trigger an alert. This seems suspicious.

Would it be possible to continue this conversation privately? I could send you my logs.

Mike, I’m not able to install 4.0.57 downloaded from your website. I get “The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”

I found the sucuriscan_datastore_path value in wp-content/uploads/sucuri/sucuri-settings.php and changed it manually there. This fixed my problem.

So there’s obviously a bug, in that the wp-config SUCURI_DATA_STORAGE setting is ignored. Maybe it’s supposed to be SUCURISCAN_DATASTORE_PATH to match the value name in sucuri-settings.php?

I’m having the same problem as tzeldin88 after moving a site. I have also added a setting for SUCURI_DATA_STORAGE in wp-config but it is being ignored.

It’s a little disappointing to see that tzeldin88 hasn’t received a response to this in over a week.

Just got the big site moved to a Vultr VPS this morning, and it’s running great, including WordFence scans.

Yeah, I’m the noisy neighbour! I guess I’ve outgrown shared hosting. I’ll be with you for another year… I need time to work out migrating to a VPS and my account is about to renew. That gives me lots of time to move sites and services carefully, one at a time. If I’m not happy with Vultr, I’ll reconsider DreamCompute. I’ve had a great experience overall and will continue to recommend Dreamhost to people I won’t be hosting myself.

Ah, so there are group memory limits on Dreamhost. I thought I was in the clear because each site is running under its own user. But all my site users are in the same group. Time for a VPS, I guess.

I’m really at a loss trying to figure out what’s going on here. Even after disabling all plugins on site 1, it won’t complete a scan.

Watching top while scanning isn’t showing anything of interest either. CPU and memory use for the PHP process doing the scanning aren’t any higher than the other running PHP processes. Only the one process dies, so I know that either Dreamhost’s process killer doesn’t operate on the user’s total usage for all processes or it’s not the process killer that’s killing the scan. I don’t know which, and I’m having a hard time getting answers from Dreamhost support.

Does “Scan process ended after forking” mean that the scan process died?

Looks like it’s still having problems on site 2. I looked at the site just now and found that it has been stalled in the middle of a scheduled scan for over two hours.

I’ve sent you diagnostic reports from the other two sites. The site with the most extensions (though still not an unreasonable number) has been having issues with intermittent 404s and updates not finishing.

Here are the most recent lines from site 2’s activity log:
