A new release for UpdraftPlus has just been pushed out, and should show in your WP dashboard shortly. It mostly contains a number of small tweaks to fix a number of issues seen on a small number of sites. As ever, it is a recommended update for all. The full changelog is below.
- Feature: Automatic backups can take place before updates commissioned via WordPress.Com/JetPack remote site management (requires a not-yet-released version of JetPack – all current releases are insufficient, so please don’t file reports about this yet)
- Fix: Fixed a further logic error in the advanced backup retention options, potentially relevant if you had more than one extra rule, affecting the oldest backups
- Tweak: Resolve issue on some sites with in-dashboard downloads being interfered with by other site components
- Tweak: Auto-backups now hook to a newly-added more suitable action, on WP 4.4+ (https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/30441)
- Tweak: Make WebDAV library not use a language construct that’s not supported by HHVM
- Tweak: Change options in the “Backup Now” dialog as main settings are changed
- Tweak: Show the file options in the “Backup Now” dialog if/when alerting the user that they’ve chosen inconsistent options
- Tweak: When pruning old backups, save the history to the database at least every 10 seconds, to help with sites with slow network communications and short PHP timeouts
