The latest UpdraftPlus is in the process of being released – you should see it in your dashboard in the next day or so.
This release includes a new cloud storage option: Google Cloud Storage support, in UpdraftPlus Premium.
Beyond that, it includes a number of small fixes and optimisations. The full changelog follows, below. As ever, it is a recommended update for everyone!
- Feature: Google Cloud Storage support (UpdraftPlus Premium)
- Fix: Automatic backups of WordPress core prior to WP core upgrade in recent versions were including non-WP core files
- Fix: OwnCloud 8.1’s WebDAV server responds differently, breaking UD’s communications: restore the ability to back up to OwnCloud WebDAV
- Tweak: Allow use of the Meta key for selecting multiple backup sets (as well as Control)
- Tweak: When sending backup data directly site-to-site (when migrating), handle the (very rare) case where a remote server complains of the chunk size after accepting previous chunks of the same size
- Tweak: Add message to final log line when sending backup set directly to a remote site, reminding the user of what to do next.
- Tweak: Tweak zip-splitting algorithm, to prevent delayed split on resumption when final file in the last-created zip is gigantic
- Tweak: By default, exclude directories that appear to be the UpdraftPlus internal directory of a site stored in a sub-directory when backing up WordPress core
- Tweak: In the debugging output, show more clearly when Curl is not installed
- Tweak: Remove trailing slashes from what WP returns as the uploads/plugins directories, in case the user has specified a manual directory over-ride and erroneously added a trailing slash
- Tweak: Replace all remaining https:// links to updraftplus.com with https://
- Tweak: Raise some of the Google Drive network timeouts
- Tweak: Suppress an internal PHP notice when pruning backups in some circumstances
- Translations: Various updated translations
