I don’t have a staging site to play with, and am reluctant to use the latest version on my real site – because then I’d have to remember how to revert to the old version so I can use it.
oh yes – I forgot about that. The 5.x release was completely incompatible with my usage – ie, I have multiple jobs, all run manually when I think they need backing-up.
I’m not surprised you can’t replicate it – I have been using the combination of all 3 plugins for years with no problems.
I did note that my BackWPup plugin is version 6.1.7 (yours was 5.2.3)
My understanding of how WordPress works and sessions etc is virtually non-existent, and wouldn’t know where to begin to troubleshoot further. I guess I’m just going to have to leave BackWPup deactivated until I need it.
I just want to be clear – when Media Library Folders is first opened, it is normal for it to show “No files were found” – until I select a folder containing some files.
What is not normal is for it to show that “Warning session start …..” message prior to “No files were found”.
Media Library Folders doesn’t seem to care about the warning message – you can still upload files to folders. However, Photo Gallery failes when the warning is shown.
I have been using the combination of BackWPup, Media Library Folders and Photo Gallery together for years, but the problem only arose about a month ago.
If I start with BackWPup deactivated, Media Library Folders looks like below, and when I do an Import from media Library in Photo gallery, it shows me the media to choose from:
If I now activate BackWPup, this is what I see:
and if I try Import from Media Library in photo Gallery, it cannot bring-up the media for me to select (the wheel just spins)
I look after 2 websites on 2 different hosts. The same thing happens on both websites. It also happens on multiple client computers (Windows 10/11 running Chrome).
DevTools console showed no errors.
I have a screenshot, but can’t work-out how to add it here (have tried the Image and Embed blocks). When you click on the “Import from Media Library” button, a windows pops-up titled “Media”. It has 2 tabs: “Upload Files” and “Media Library” – it opens in the Media Library tab. The first line has “Filter media”, and under that is a drop-down selector where you can select “All dates”, or select a particular month and year. Beside the drop-down selector is a spinning wheel – that has boundless energy and can spin for hours !
Fantastic – thanks Tobias. TablePress is back and none of my tables were lost.
Just for curiosity, I understand the tables are stored in the main WP database – in the “posts” table? I have browsed the table with phpMyAdmin, and there are many fields. Which field can I use to identify all the TablePress records?
I have downloaded the file from Dropbox multiple times, and each time, the file size is exactly the same and it is still corrupt.
As an experiment just now, I created a test job (tar file) to do a big backup (ie 1GB) to /uploads/backwpup folder, then downloaded with FileZilla – corrupt.
