Ginette,
We have updated the plugin to support sub directory WordPress Installs. You can download it here on the blog or you can simple update through your backend of your WordPress admin panel.
Thanks
Ginette,
When moving WordPress you could simply just move all your wordpess file to the root directory. You mentioned that the current install in a directory called “adlab”. I am assuming it is a sub directory.
For example:
Has you moved the site already and now you are getting the error or are you trying to install our plugin on your current site before you move?
If you are getting the error before you have moved the site then it is possibly a plugin issue that we will have the look into.
I am glad you are looking to use our plugin to backup your database before you do anything but it is not necessary to create a database backup of your site.
What is the url to your current wordpress site?
[...] le site de ce plugin: Complete Central Backup et vous le trouverez aussi en faisant une recherche directement via votre panneau d’admin [...]
How can I upload a backup that I downloaded? I had to wipe my wordpress installation so I re-installed complete backup but I can not find a way to upload. Do you have documentation somewhere?
We are working on getting the documentation up as soon as possible.
If you have access to your files then you can place a backup file in /wp-contents/plugins/complete-central-backup/backups.
Once you have put your backup file in that directory then you should see it in the list of backups.
We have plans on adding a upload options to the plugin here shortly.
Thanks

You have restored my faith in humanity, finally a backup plugin that makes sense.
I can’t I wait for the full version
and after what we have been through with some of the others, name your price!
Gregg,
Thanks for the positive feedback. We believe that simple is best and with this plugin we have been receiving pretty good feedback based on the simplicity. If there is features that you would like to see in the plugin just shoot them over.
I just installed the plugin and it did a backup without a hitch. Now I need to look into exactly what “complete” backup includes. No problems installing it the first time.
“Complete” is representing the full version which has not been released yet. There is a number of features that are including in the full version that makes this plugin “complete”
there appears to be an issue in the coding. I click the backup, but nothing happens…until i chmod 777 the backup directory. then stuff appears to run but I cannot download or delete backups. there is a file listing “/home/httpd/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs//wp-content/plugins/complete-central-backup/log.txt ” at the top that shows two // in front of the location of the log file (which does not populate?
We have suspected that this was going to be an issue. Not all servers are setup the same. There is nothing wrong with the code other than it does not stop even if the ownership of files or directories are not correct.
Most of the time this can be fixed by changing the ownership of the root install of WordPress to the correct owner.
For example any of wordpress was installed using a owner higher (Most of the time root), there is permission issue’s when trying to write files using the normal user (which the code runs under). manually setting files to 0777 is the only way around it if your ownership is not correct.
The reason I am certain this is case is this happens on one of our test environments which was set up wrong on purpose. Wrong ownership does not always show its face until it comes to the script itself trying to do something on behalf of the user.
If you are able to SSH then you can check by going into your WordPress root and using the command ls -al. This will list the owners of the files. If this owner is “root” or the name of the user your hosting account is setup as then the ownership of your WordPress install is not using the right user
We have implanted a chmod script in the latest plugin to try to fight this issue but if it is not working then the script does not have any other right than to read your files.
We would implant a “sudo” command to simply over power the server settings but this opens the door to exploits which we will not tolerate in this plugin.
Hello..
I loaded Complete Backup on two of my wp sites. One it works fine. On the second it seems to work correctly except that the backup files do not show under the backup manager window. They do show up in the log and in the /wp-contents/plugins/complete-central-backup/backups directory. I am wondering if I can trust that it is working? Regardless, thanks for a simple solution.
It looks like the checks are not working properly in the latest version. Even though it is saying it was good, it has failed the backup. The for sure thing to check if the backup manager. It is a live representation of what your backups are.
Please check you folder permissions and or the ownership of your WordPress install. Since every server is different, it is almost impossible to help out with this problem. The next version has a patch for this error and also a check system to inform a user which directory is mis-configured
Hey Justin, how does this plugin work with multisite? Any issues?
Hey Dave,
The plugin was not built for multi site at all, although I think it would work as a network administrator plugin. The plugin is built to take the whole database and back it up. So for networking admin, I would say it works but per site on a multi site install, it would lead to some serious issue’s. I am going to look into this tonight and see what I can do for the multi site installs.
Hi
I just installed your backup plugin, but it doesn’t seem to do anything. When I force a new backup, Internet Explorer thinks about it for a minute (the progress bar) and then it kicks back to the WordPress Settings main page. I go to the backups page, but there are no backups there.
Brian,
More than likely it is a directory permission issue. This is something we can not really plan for since there is a million ways tat a server can be setup. We try to ove ride this already in the code but it seems that sometimes PHP does not have the rights to change permissions of the directories and in result it will fail.
We are try to add a feature in the next release that will report all permission issues before it even lets you try to do a backup.
I backed up the site, and it tells me backup completed. But there is no name, or directory or any other evidence that the backup actually exists somewhere.
This is a server permission error. PHP and or Apache does not have the rights to create the directory. This needs to be fixed before the plugin will work correctly.. This is a known bug with the plugin. It seems like the plugin checks fail and still pass a good check for some reason.. This will be covered in the next release
I am completely at the end.
Where can I set that the file system is backed up?
It is only backed up the database – which is not enough for me unfortunately!
regards
Manfred
The plugin does nto currently fully support backing up the file structure yet. The class it there but not fully tested. This will be in the next release.
I just installed this plugin. Does this plugin backup both databases and files? A complete backup of site?
Kim,
The features you mentioned will be in the next release
Does your plug-in back up files as well as databases?
It would be great to have an all-in-one backup/restore.
Thanks in advance.
The plugin can currently update all the files as well but it does not support restoring from a file backup yet. We have this turned off by default but we will work to get the plugin updated and the full backup added in the next version
Great plugin! Only one problem.
Weekly backup does not work. I have installed the plugin on 4 sites and none work. I have to manually do backups. Auto backup is why I liked the plugin so…
Let me know if there is a fix.
cheers, CJ
CJ,
I would check to make sure your server supports cron jobs. The plugin uses the default WordPress cron settings. If it is not working then your server would be the first place I would look..
We would be interested in your findings, if you could report back and let us know if the cron jobs was the issue.
Thanks
I downloaded the plugin but nothing seems to be happening. I don’t get any notices and don’t see where I can download the BU to my computer. Help….
Charles,
Please refer to the plugin documentation. If you are not seeing the plugin under the “Settings” link label “Backup” please make sure the plugin is enabled.
So I checked and the server does support Cron jobs. Actually, we are using the plugin on three different hosts, and none of them are doing the weekly backups??

Hi. I urgently need some help – this is my first wordpress website so still very technically challenged. I need to move my wordpress from the adlab folder to the root so I need to do a backup first. I installed the plugin but I keep getting an error: The requested URL /wp-admin/options-general.php was not found on this server. What am I doing wrong??
