Hi Terrence, I've fixed the problem on your site now. The problem was that Google Drive sent an error message back on one occasion, and UpdraftPlus was not escaping this properly before printing it on...

Hi eschmidtke, If the backup is complete and you have the files in Google Drive then that's basically the definition of working... however, if the message still shows under 'last complete run' then for...

Hi David, I just installed UpdraftPlus but when I select "Settings" in the Plugins page or through Settings > UpdraftPlus Backups, I get a "500: Internal server error" page. I just found the...

Hi eschmidtke, Thankfully, that backup run is fine with no problems. I'm not sure why the UD dashboard page would still be showing you error messages from a previous run. If you were able to send me WP...

Hi NoTearsWeb, Thanks for the tip. UD doesn't make any particularly unusual PHP calls that other plugins don't, so it may be that this was a one-off - that the Zend cache recorded something corrupt,...

Hi devil495, If you renamed the wp-content/plugins/updraftplus directory, and if you cannot login via the dashboard (use the /wp-admin link, not one via a front-end page) then your problem must lie...

P.S. After renaming an active plugin, you will get errors on the front-end of the site until you successfully login on the admin end and go to the plugins page (because the front-end still looks for...

OK, I tried logging in with the wp-admin link but still get a 500 error. I am new at this so maybe you could answer a basic question: When I install or update a plugin does it change any other part of...
