    So, I’ve just checked my mails and saw that I have indeed received contact form messages even if the box has been checked. It seems that the plugin does send mails on each click but does not show the confirmation (and “spins” endlessly). However, it works correctly if I remove the checkbox (tested with FF, Opera, Chrome and IE7)…

    BackWPup never had a restore option (afaik). Normally you restore a database by using the mysql client or a tool like PHPMyAdmin.

    With mysql you could do the following:

    – extract the archive that has been created by BackWPup (contains all files in your backed up WP directory)
    – look for a file with a .sql extension (contains a dump of your WP MySQL database)
    – use mysql (on the host that hold your databse) to restore your database like this:

    cat <whatever.sql> | mysql -h localhost -u <wp_db_username> -p<wp_db_password> <wp_db_name>

    Replace the words in <> with your .sql-file/username/password/database-name

    If you have a look at W3 Total Cache in the last few releases there has been major issues. But most if not all who use it including myself are doing their best to support Frederick Townes.

    I’ve never used that plugin myself, so I can’t say anything about it. But if you have enough spare time and energy to support the developer, than that’s a good thing. However, you need to understand that, if people are not doing this and use a different plugin, than that’s also a good thing! Everybody should have the freedom to decide what to do with his life. And who knows… maybe those other people are putting their energy into the development of a different software that you are also using regularly 😉

    Nuff talking…

    That’s correct. It’s even a thing that I do regularly: using software that works while avoiding software that doesn’t (and dumping software that has been broken).

    It’s a thing that people do. Most of them because they have a task to accomplish and no clue of programming. Although I know how to program, I’ve got a different job where I put my energy into (and some other things commonly known as “a life”).

    Although I appreciate Daniel’s work, I’m not responsible for it. If he decides to rewrite and release his software to the public with a shitload of bugs in it, than he has to live with the consequences. He can’t rely on the users to help him solve his problems as well as I can’t rely on our customers to fix my bugs. That’s also a part of that thing called “life” and everybody has to learn it eventually…

    I’m sorry, but I simply don’t have the time to help you debugging your code. And I’m not convinced that the 3.x version will be nearly as good as the 2.x in the near future 🙁

    To be honest, in all my years as a full-time developer and hobby-admin I’ve never had an update (of any program) breaking functionality that bad as BackWPup did with 3.x! And I’m not the only one, just have a look at the support forum. You should have tested it thouroughly. Now it will take you a lot of work to fix all those bugs and calm down the community… good luck with that!

    P.S. : I’m testing UpdraftPlus. Looks usable.

    Been there, done that. It actually can create a backup now if a port is specified in the settings (which is totally normal btw… d’ough!). No other bug that I reported has been fixed though, the plugin is still unusable. I’m going to uninstall it and look for alternatives now and for sure I can’t recommend this plugin to anyone!

    OK, so I upgraded to 3.0.2. I can create a backup now on the Ubuntu system, but the other 3 errors described above are still there!

    Furthermore, I can’t start the backup job from the new menu that is integrated in the button. It always tells me that I haven’t got the appropriate permissions (when logged in as admin). When using the old menu on the left it works.

    Forgot to mention: one system is running PHP 5.4 the other one 5.3.

    I checked your site and it seems that the CSS code is not overwritten in your child-theme. If I make the changes within the original style.css (with Firebug) your like button works correctly!

    I don’t know what’s the problem with your child theme (tell me if you find out). I made a copy of the original theme and maintain it myself. Partly because I modified PHP code but also because that child-theme thing never worked correctly for me either…

    In case you’re interested: I chose a less “invasive” solution and only disabled this “feature” for iframes:

    embed,
    object {
      max-width: 100%;
      width: 100%;
    }

    Just in case there’s a good reason to limit the width of embeds 😉

    Hi!

    I’ve got the same problem. It took me many hours of debugging but (with the help of a friend) I found the cause within the style.css:

    /*      Make sure embeds and iframes fit their containers
            ----------------- */
    embed,
    iframe,
    object {
     max-width: 100%;
     width: 100%;
    }

    So, the max. width of the iframe is limited to the width of the container (in this case, the FB button). I don’t know if there is a sane reason for doing this (most themes don’t) but if you remove the “max-width” line it should work correctly! At least it does for me…
