A new version of UpdraftPlus has been released and should be available in your WordPress dashboard. It is a recommended update for all. It includes no major changes, but a number of small tweaks mostly for corner-cases. It is also marked as compatible with the upcoming WordPress 4.8 release (there were no changes needed for this, so the previous release is also believed to be compatible).

It did include (in the short-lived .2 release) an improvement (on some corner-case setups) for Dropbox authentication, but it was then discovered that this caused a problem for a greater number of users, and this change was then reverted.

Full changelog:

  • Fix: Import function had a regression and was not coping with all formats
  • Tweak: When the import function failed, the error was not shown to the user

Items below were in the .3 release:

  • Fix: Revert Dropbox authentication change in 1.13.2 (mentioned below), which was not working on all sites
  • Tweak: Marked as tested and compatible on WordPress 4.8
  • Tweak: Dropbox authentication flow can now use POST for the final step, side-stepping (arbitrary) parameter length restrictions on some Apache mod_security setups
  • Tweak: Prevent a possible PHP notice when curl is not present
  • Tweak: Point Clef users towards Keyy
  • Tweak: Do not open an alert box when the user changes their site ID in ‘Advanced Tools’
  • Tweak: Fix parameters to updraft_check_overduecrons() JS function
