11 Backup, restore or migrate your WordPress website to another host or domain. Schedule backups or run manually. Migrate in minutes. Reliable and easy to use.
12
13 == Description ==
14
15 <a href="https://updraftplus.com">The UpdraftPlus Backup & Migration Plugin</a> is trusted by the WordPress community to backup, restore and migrate their WordPress websites. UpdraftPlus is actively installed on more than 3 million websites around the world.
16
17 = Backup with UpdraftPlus =
18
19 UpdraftPlus is the world’s highest ranking and most popular scheduled backup and migration plugin. Backup to your preferred storage location and restore in just three clicks.
20
21 Backup to Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon S3 (or compatible), Rackspace Cloud, FTP, DreamObjects, Openstack Swift or email.
22
23 The paid version also allows you to backup to Microsoft OneDrive, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Backblaze B2, SFTP, SCP, pCloud, WebDAV or UpdraftVault, our integrated storage option for UpdraftPlus.
24
25 Backup manually or schedule to run every 2, 4, 8 or 12 hours, daily, weekly, monthly or fortnightly.
26
27 = Restore with UpdraftPlus =
28
29 Your WordPress website is vulnerable. Your site may get hacked. Something could go wrong with an update or your server could crash. You might need to reverse a change made or a mistake caused by human error.
30
31 Whatever the reason, you can restore your WordPress website in just a few clicks with UpdraftPlus. Choose which components to restore (e.g. plugins, themes, database etc.), click again to restore, then click again to return to the main screen.
32
33 = Migrate with UpdraftPlus =
34
35 It’s easy to migrate your WordPress website to another web host, server or domain with this free version of UpdraftPlus.
36
37 To migrate, simply download your database, plugins, themes etc. from the source site, then upload them into your destination site.
38
39 When migrating, a built-in search-and-replace engine identifies old strings and replaces these to reflect the new location. UpdraftPlus saves you time and reduces the risk of broken links or missing files associated with manual migrations.
40
41 = Why UpdraftPlus? =
42

We’re trusted and actively deployed on more websites around the world than any other WordPress backup and migration plugin.

139 == Frequently Asked Questions ==
140
141
142 = How do I install the UpdraftPlus backup & migration plugin? =
143
144 Here are the installation guidelines from our [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ReY7Z19h2I) or from [our website](https://updraftplus.com/download/).
145
146 = What if I have a problem / need support ? =
147
148 If you’re struggling to backup, migrate or restore there’s help available.
149
150 Search existing topics on the WordPress support forum or post a new one. Our support and development teams check and respond to queries everyday.
151
152 UpdraftPlus Premium customers can log a ticket directly with our support and development teams via the [UpdraftPlus support hub](https://updraftplus.com/support/).
153
154 Before you get in touch, please ensure that you have read through our [FAQs](https://updraftplus.com/frequently-asked-questions) and that you’ve updated to the latest release of our plugin.
155
156 It helps greatly if you can include the backup log and as much other information as possible in your report, for example the PHP version, your website, the error description, how you got to the page that caused it, any other relevant plugins you have installed, plus any other information that might be of use.
157
158 To find the backup log: there are links to download the logs on the UpdraftPlus settings page in the plugin - or you may be emailed it. Failing that, FTP into the directory wp-content/updraft and look for it there.
159
160 If you know how, please send your PHP error logs - just the few lines that appear when you run a backup, often the file called error_log, possibly in your wp-admin directory which you can check via FTP. If you’re a programmer that can debug and send a patch, that’s even better.
161
162 = When it comes to migration, what does the premium plugin do that the free plugin can't? =
163
164 Migrating in the free plugin involves downloading the backups from the source site then uploading these to the destination site.
165
166 To find the backup log: there are links to download the logs on the UpdraftPlus settings page- or you may be emailed it. Failing that, FTP into the directory wp-content/updraft and look for it there.
167
168 Both free and Premium plugins include a built-in search-and-replace engine to replace old strings with the new location.
169
170 If migration is all you require, and for simple single site migrations the free plugin will likely be enough to meet your needs. If you have additional needs around backups e.g. the ability to backup before updates, if you require more remote storage locations or if you have a WordPress multisite then we recommend UpdraftPlus Premium for the additional benefits that it brings.
171
172 = UpdraftPlus runs out of time when it’s trying to backup, after I have left it for some time to give it a good chance. What can I do? =
173
174 This problem is probably caused by your account being starved of resources by your (cheap) web host provider. This is far from ideal; although UpdraftPlus supports resuming backup runs right from the beginning to avoid everything having to be done at once, it has its limits. The best thing is to choose a more reputable web host. Failing this, try going into the “Expert settings” and reducing the size at which zip files are split. UpdraftPlus is known to successfully backup websites that run into the multiple-gigabytes on web servers that are not resource-starved.
175
176 == Changelog ==
177
178 The [UpdraftPlus backup blog](https://updraftplus.com/news/) is the best place to learn in more detail about any important changes.

249 * TWEAK: Resolved a PHP warning triggered when uploading the plugin via the WP Plugins page — caused by translation functions (e.g. __()) being called too early.
250 * TWEAK: Some text was left out of the translation POT file, which meant that certain translator plugins and libraries could not find the text, making it impossible to translate.
251 * TWEAK: Update the db_size function to allow returning either data or html, depending on the argument that is passed in.
252
253 = 1.25.7 - 07/Aug/2025 =
254
255 * FIX: A regression for verifying the presence of old folders in the backup directory; old folders created during the restoration of the "Others" entity were not detected correctly.
256 * FIX: The per-backup lock entries were not removed, resulting in an accumulation of these entries in the database over time. (Includes clean-up of old entries).
257 * TWEAK: Add IDrive e2 and MEGA to the S3-Compatible storage list

284
285 = 1.25.5 - 17/Apr/2025 =
286

304 * TWEAK: Introduce a new constant named "UPDRAFTPLUS_S3_EXCLUDE_SIGV4_CONTENT_SHA256_HEADER". This constant allows for the exclusion of the "x-amz-content-sha256" headers from being signed if desired; it accepts a boolean value, defaulting to false.
305 * TWEAK: Add 'noopener, noreferrer' window features to the Javascript's window.open() call to prevent the target page from changing content of the original page
306 * TWEAK: Favicon fetching feature for UpdraftCentral

314
315 = 1.25.2 - 26/Feb/2025 =

326
327 = 1.25.1 - 11/Jan/2025 =
328
329 * SECURITY: Fix a non-persistent reflected XSS vulnerability due to a missing nonce combined with missing sanitisation. This could allow an attacker, who persuaded you to click a personally-crafted link to your site's dashboard whilst you were logged in, to once run JavaScript code in your dashboard. Thanks to Asaf Mozes for finding and responsibly disclosing this issue.
330 * FIX: Prevent the restoration from failing when there is a 'sync-xhr=()' permission policy on the response header.
331 * FIX: Improve the approach of acquiring a suggested region for Amazon AWS S3 if a failure arises during the getBucketLocation() call, particularly when the XML response fails to provide a field for the suggested region - this resolves issues with regions (e.g. us-east-2) which recently changed their response behaviour
332 * TWEAK: Broaden the support to incorporate the "ap-southeast-4" region of Amazon AWS S3 and additional recently updated regions
333 * TWEAK: A regression in the paid version update checker to version 4.13.2, resulting in non-appearance of notices concerning subscription status or WP version compatibility.
334
335 = 1.24.12 - 23/Dec/2024 =
336
337 * FIX: The pre-restoration stage failed to properly address the tables that were to be excluded, which caused a logical error that misread the checked "include all tables not listed" option as an instruction to restore every table
338 * FIX: Update PHPSecLib library to version 2.0.48 which has the fixes for the "gmp_pow(): base and exponent overflow" on certain PHP versions and could cause backups to fail on the SFTP remote storage
339 * TWEAK: Complete the review and removal of calls to the unserialize() PHP function allowing class instantiation begun in 1.24.7. (The final removal involved a theoretical security defect, if your development site allowed an attacker to post content to it which you migrated to another site, and which contained customised code that could perform destructive actions which the attacker knew about, prior to you then cloning the site. The result of this removal is that some search-replaces, highly unlikely to be encountered in practice, will be skipped).
340 * TWEAK: Drop search and replace feature for PHP 5.2 users (to fulfil the preceding item)
341 * TWEAK: Tweak UpdraftCentral media module to add "has_image_editor" property to each media item

343 * TWEAK: Avoid deregistering jQuery-UI CSS if already printed by other plugins to prevent compatibility issues
344 * TWEAK: In the context of database restoration, the execution of LOCK and/or ALTER SQL statements must be avoided for any tables that are part of the "skipped tables" list

346 * TWEAK: Various coding style changes to comply with "Plugin Check" rules
347
348 = 1.24.11 - 15/Nov/2024 =
349
350 * TWEAK: Do not request drive.readonly scope on Google Drive connections, due to Google's app permissions review (unannounced and requires us to create a Youtube video for their review process) - this means that (until the review completes) new connections to Google Drive can only access backups created by UpdraftPlus directly, and not backups which you manually upload to Google Drive. This restores the ability to make new connections to Google Drive.
351 * TWEAK: Adjustment of the UpdraftPlus_S3_Compat class to preserve compatibility with the external UpdraftPlus AWS SDK plugin (https://github.com/DavidAnderson684/updraftplus-aws-sdk).
352
353 = 1.24.9 - 14/Nov/2024 =

364 * TWEAK: Some code tidying in the restore class
365
366 = 1.24.7 - 04/Nov/2024 =
367
368 * TWEAK: Include the .part file extension into the cleanup list, guaranteeing that files associated with this extension are regularly deleted from the backup directory
369 * TWEAK: The update functionalities in the WordPress plugin information box (6.5 and later) have been adjusted to stop updates from taking place in the same window, ensuring that the "auto-backup before update" dialog appears as intended
370 * TWEAK: Add customized "unserialized" method into the UpdraftPlus class which can handle the use of the "options" argument or its absence when running across different PHP versions
371 * TWEAK: Add the UPDRAFTPLUS_SEND_UNWRITABLE_BACKUP_DIRECTORY_EMAIL constant to disable the sending of unwritable backup directory emails to users.
372 * TWEAK: Clearer notifications to users regarding unconfigured remote storage settings and/or the selection of remote storage that are not part of their UpdraftPlus version
373 * TWEAK: During the resumption of OneDrive’s chunk uploads, the authorisation header and bearer token should not be included as it may lead to an unauthenticated error due to a different upload URL.
374 * TWEAK: Implement code to enable automatic activation of the UpdraftPlus plugin during the migration process from a multisite setup to a standalone site
375 * TWEAK: In a multisite environment, ensure that users can access the UpdraftPlus plugin page even in the absence of the WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE constant

382
383 = 1.24.5 - 24/Sep/2024 =
384
385 * FIX: Incorrect regular expression for DigitalOcean Spaces endpoint
386 * FIX: CSS conflicts with the LearnDash LMS Instructor Role Add-on plugin which caused some UI elements to disappear
387 * TWEAK: Reorganize UpdraftPlus in left-hand menu and rename it to "UpdraftPlus"; to disable it, follow this guide: https://updraftplus.com/new-location-of-updraftplus-in-the-wordpress-dashboard/
388 * TWEAK: Add span wrapper to UpdraftCentral connection failed message
389 * TWEAK: Add the "Go here to complete your settings" link into the appropriate admin notice that when clicked will jump to the UpdraftVault configuration if no settings are specified.

391 * TWEAK: After a restoration, clicking "Delete old folders" will also remove the wp-config-pre-ud-restore-backup.php file
392 * TWEAK: On the settings page/tab; prevent the floating "Save changes" button from getting clicked multiple times and/or sending multiple AJAX requests
393 * TWEAK: Remove pCloud from the add-ons list on the "Premium / Extensions" tab (there is no change in its availability)
394 * TWEAK: Renamed wp-config-backup.php to wp-config-pre-ud-restore-backup.php to clarify its purpose as a backup file created before restoring WordPress core entities, and it will only be generated if the user does not select the "Over-write wp-config.php" option during restoration, as the previous name was too generic and could cause confusion
395 * TWEAK: The popup modal for automatic plugin updates fails to retain the backup checkbox selection when the "remember" option is enabled in a Multisite environment.
396 * TWEAK: Updated autobackup selector to resolve issues caused by the missing "update-link" class in WPForms Pro plugin
397
398 = 1.24.4 - 2/Jul/2024 =
399

401 * FIX: Resolved issue where backup files could not be deleted from remote storage when either the root directory was active or no directory was specified in the OneDrive configuration form.
402 * FIX: When users attempt to update a plugin using the "View Version x.x.x Details" link instead of choosing "Update Now," the plugin is successfully updated; however, the UI incorrectly displays an "Update Failed" message

428 * TWEAK: Add compatibility fields when returning plugins and themes to UpdraftCentral
429 * TWEAK: Due to issues in some cURL versions 7.x in handling HTTP/2 connections, all HTTP connections to the OneDrive API are now forced to use HTTP/1.1 version, on cURL versions after 7.61 and before 8.0. Also, a constant named UPDRAFTPLUS_ONEDRIVE_CURL_HTTP_VERSION can be set in the wp-config.php file to change the default HTTP version to another preferred version

445 * FIX: Restoring backup sets via Migrate/Clone tab had caused all associated backup entities being downloaded immediately ignoring user preferences about the entities they wanted to restore
446 * FIX: Third-party library conflict (phpseclib) with WP All Import Pro and AIO WP Migration plugins that caused failure in testing SFTP credentials and backing up to the SFTP remote storage

493
494 * SECURITY: Fix a vulnerability which could, if you had Google Drive storage enabled, and if an attacker targetted a logged-in administrator on your site and persuaded them to access a specific URL that the attacker creates, add the attacker's own Google Drive account to the saved storage methods. Thanks to Nicolas Decayeux of Patrowl for finding and disclosing this issue.
495 * FEATURE: Add JSTree for Google Drive to select existing folder

498 * FIX: When two instances of WebDav remote storage were sequentially added in the Premium version, filling some fields of the latest instance would break the WebDav URL of the previous instance
499 * TWEAK: Update phpseclib library from version 1 to 2. As previously advised, this also means that these features (Database Encryption, Dropbox & SFTP/SCP remote storage, and UpdraftCentral key creations) will no longer be available and can cause a fatal error when running on PHP 5.2

511 * TWEAK: Add type checking in UpdraftPlus::handle_url_actions() to prevent plugin conflicts causing PHP errors on PHP 8+

524
525 = 1.23.8 - 08/Aug/2023 =

528 * FIX: Content-MD5 and any V2-related headers were always included in the S3's V4 SignedHeaders even though the headers were not presented in a HTTP request
529 * FIX: Generating URL-encoded queries for a canonical request should have used a method/mechanism which encoded query values according to RFC 3986 (for consistency and for not breaking the code)
530 * FIX: Search / replace database not working on Admin dashboard > Settings > UpdraftPlus Backups > Advanced Tools > Search / replace database on PHP 8.2 due to stricter type checking
531 * FIX: A newly added subsite that was restored from a normal site to the multisite was not listed in the site list in the multisite
532 * FIX: Manual deletion of backup sets appeared to skip some files when multiple instance and/or remote storage were in use

571
572 = 1.23.4 - 16/May/2023 =
573
574 * SECURITY: Fixed a missing nonce combined with a URL sanitisation failure, which could lead to a targeted XSS opportunity (if an attacker persuades a logged-in administrator to both re-authorise their connection to a remote storage (e.g. Dropbox) and then to follow a link personally crafted for their site before re-authorising whilst logged in, he can then store a fixed JavaScript payload in the WP admin area (they would need a further route to use that ability to cause any damage). Because of the need for the administrator to co-operate in multiple steps, this attack is very unlikely (but you should of course still update).
575 * FIX: DigitalOcean S3-compatible storage does not work with disabled SSL entirely where possible settings.
576 * FIX: If there was an error or network connectivity issue on first attempt of uploading a plugin/theme file, then the second attempt of uploading the same file would make the file become corrupted thus resulting in installation failure.
577 * COMPATIBILITY: Suppress htmlspecialchars deprecation warnings on PHP 8.1

598
599 * SECURITY: This release fixes an important security defect - please update. Full details: https://updraftplus.com/updraftplus-1-23-3-2-23-3-important-security-release/. Sites are affected if there are WordPress users (i.e. people who can login) who can reach the back-end (i.e. wp-admin) dashboard (but we recommend everyone updates in any case).
600

604 * FIX: A database backup couldn't be taken from WP-Optimize and All-In-One Security (AIOS) (regression)
605 * TWEAK: Add a user capabilities check when downloading a backup (this is not believed to have any security implications, as the download operation already requires knowledge of a further nonce that there is no mechanism for a non-administrator to obtain).
606 * TWEAK: Improve the Handlebars template of the UpdraftVault remote storage by taking PHP code out of it
607 * TWEAK: Prevent making a nonce available to logged-in users who could not manage UpdraftPlus (this did not give access to any unauthorised actions)
608 * TWEAK: Improve the Handlebars template of the UpdraftVault remote storage by taking PHP code out of it
609 * TWEAK: Improve the Handlebars template of the pCloud remote storage by taking PHP code out of it

617 * FIX: An over-ride enforcing use of V4 signatures on Aliyuncs S3 storage was no longer working
618 * FIX: pCloud error handling in chunked uploading did not pass the error message up to the logging layer
619 * FIX: Backups started under WP-CLI could not backup the database only without any files
620 * FIX: Couldn't add any file/directory inclusion for "Other" entity due to access to one directory up from the current (ABSPATH) isn't permitted
621 * FIX: Atomic restore is not renaming a few tables when not restoring specific tables by using the filter `updraftplus_restore_this_table`.
622 * FIX: Sometimes the "delete old directories" notice displayed even though the actual `-old` directory didn't exist
623 * FIX: The restore point date time was incorrect in the restore screen when restoring the incremental backup, and the WordPress site has a non-GMT timezone set.
624 * TWEAK: Improve manual rescanning and deletion of backup sets by setting up a time limit to a value defined in UPDRAFTPLUS_SET_TIME_LIMIT constant to minimise chances of getting fatal error (maximum execution time exceeded)
625 * TWEAK: Add a filter updraftplus_mysqldump_arguments to allow changing of arguments passed to the mysqldump binary when that is being used

635 * TWEAK: Fixed WebDAV PHP 8.1+ deprecated warnings
636 * TWEAK: Updated text message displayed on Web Server - Localhost UC Dashboard Key Creation.
637 * TWEAK: Use nonce in every part of a restoration process to prevent direct access that has allows an unwanted log file to be begun. On sites running on end-of-lifed PHP versions (<8.0) it was possible to read the beginning of the log file, causing an unintended information disclosure about the server environment, e.g. Apache version, PHP version and available memory (but current PHP versions are not vulnerable).
638 * TWEAK: Use nonce when starting a new restoration and strengthen the continuation process to prevent direct access that has the potential of being file and/or log abuse
639 * TWEAK: Improve the WebDAV storage module API in regard to the way it handles uploading and writing files
640 * TWEAK: Replace the word "Directory" with "Folder" in UI notices

676 * TWEAK: Prevent deprecation notice on PHP 8+ if opening a zero-size zip file
677 * TWEAK: Replace the use of $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] variable with network_site_url() function because the array key is not defined in WP-CLI and might not be defined on some server-side cron tasks, resulting in a PHP log message

825
826 * SECURITY: Fixed a failure to sanitise printed URLs properly, leading to a targeted XSS opportunity (if an attacker persuades a logged-in admin to follow a link personally crafted for their site, he may be able to run JavaScript inside the browser - but on our testing, this ability is limited due to the sanitisation that was there - we have not been able to confirm that a payload causing damage is possible).

857 * TWEAK: Enable PHP 8.1 in UpdraftClone (N.B. not yet officially supported by WordPress, so, made available for testing/development purposes)
858 * TWEAK: Prevent error emitted on the browser console when 'Images' filter is selected on UpdraftCentral's media module

867 * SECURITY: Thanks to Marc-Alexandre Montpas of Automattic for this report (CVE: CVE-2022-23303). All versions of UpdraftPlus from March 2019 onwards have contained a vulnerability caused by a missing permissions-level check, allowing untrusted users access to backups. If your site does not have non-admin users, or if your non-admin users are all trusted (and your site does not allow users to sign up themselves), then you are not vulnerable (but we always recommend updating to the latest version in any case). Please see https://updraftplus.com/updraftplus-security-release-1-22-3-2-22-3/ for more details.
868 * FIX: Unexpected 'Backup History' array structure during the rescanning of the new backup sets that changed the type of the database associative keys from string to array format

874 * TWEAK: Switch to official jstree release now that our patch is included
875 * TWEAK: Update updater library in paid version to current release

932 * TWEAK: Add admin and log warning messages regarding the planned shutdown of Microsoft Azure and OneDrive Germany
933 * TWEAK: Output UpdraftVault quota recount link if needed
934 * TWEAK: Introduce constant: UPDRAFTPLUS_LOG_BACKUP_SELECTS: Defining this to true will cause the SQL SELECT commands used when fetching data for a database table backup to be logged in the UpdraftPlus backup log

941 * FIX: If MySQL performance was very fast on large tables, and if fallback fetch mode was being used (which should not occur on any WordPress core table, but can be triggered on recent Oracle MySQL 8.0 versions), then when increasing rows fetched on large tables, some rows could be unintentionally skipped.
942 * TWEAK: Oracle MySQL 8.0 from somewhere after 8.0.17 has removed the display width from the response to SHOW CREATE TABLE, resulting in failure (prior to this tweak) to detect a primary key type that can be used with faster fetching

1180 * TWEAK: Replace uses of php_uname() function with PHP_OS constant when the server where PHP is running on disables the function for security reasons
1181 * TWEAK: When the definition of a VIEW cannot be fetched, report this nicely, do not let it be flagged as a fatal error, and log it in the backup file and log
1182 * TWEAK: Integrate UpdraftPlus and WordPress 5.5 core's automatic update settings
1183 * TWEAK: When a backup resumed, the last successful resumption was incorrectly set as the last successful resumption when an 'alive' event was recorded, rather than a 'useful' one; this deferred some mitigations when there was insufficient progress
1184 * TWEAK: Add another tweak to paid versions' update checking time algorithm
1185 * TWEAK: Add "Select all" and "Deselect all" link texts for bulk selecting/deselecting tables from the database table list on the manual backup dialog

1192
1193 = 1.16.34 - 30/Oct/2020 =
1194
1195 * TWEAK: On sites with enormous numbers of tables (e.g. very large multisites), counting the already-backed-up tables when resuming took unnecessarily long since 1.16.30
1196 * TWEAK: Update jQuery document ready style to the one not deprecated in jQuery 3.0
1197 * TWEAK: While using the file tree browser return an error if we are unable to open a directory
1198
1199 = 1.16.33 - 20/Oct/2020 =
1200
1201 * FIX: Fatal error when doing a backup with no storage in the short-lived 1.16.32 (free version)
1202 * TWEAK: Cookie policy changes in the Chrome family of browsers broke the embedded checkout; hence, this is now disabled (goes directly to updraftplus.com instead).

1209 = 1.16.31 - 20/Oct/2020 =
1210
1211 * FIX: A regression in 1.16.30 meant that tables with integer primary keys which used signed integers omitted the first row of the table from the backups. This is not common (e.g. it does not affect any core WP tables; most plugins adding tables follow WP core in using unsigned integers for primary keys).
1212
1213 = 1.16.30 - 15/Oct/2020 =
1214
1215 * PERFORMANCE: Where a table has a numerical primary key, extract its data using that index. This results in a substantial performance increase when fetching large tables using PHP. (The filter updraftplus_can_use_primary_key_default can be used to de-activate this behaviour).
1216 * FIX: Remove incorrect decodeURIComponent() parsing when importing settings, which could prevent import of settings containing some special characters
1217 * FIX: An issue where database tables that were not selected to be backed up in a "Backup Now" backup would get added to the backup during a resumption (i.e. if it did not finish in a single run)
1218 * TWEAK: Catch errors from Google Cloud when the bucket is not found
1219 * TWEAK: Fix undefined variables instead of expected values in message prior to settings import

1222 * TWEAK: Provide SQL mode information in the 'Site Information' section under the 'Advanced Tools' tab and in the database backup's header
1223 * TWEAK: Show a notification of UpdraftPlus plugin updates even if the associated user account is not connected to the UpdraftPlus website
1224 * TWEAK: Add mechanism to detect what hosting provider is being used and use it to make UpdraftPlus comply with Kinsta's backup limit policies (thus removing it from the list of disallowed plugins)
1225 * TWEAK: When booting a clone if it's claimed from the clone queue then update the token being used
1226 * TWEAK: Tweaked downwards the minimum time in the future for rescheduling a resumption
1227
1228 = 1.16.29 - 08/Sep/2020 =

1239 * FEATURE: Added the ability to search and replace the database via WP-CLI

1241 * FIX: Allow single multisite sub-sites to be restored when there is a http/https mismatch between the site and database backup
1242 * TWEAK: Update plugin updates checker dependency (in paid versions) to the 4.10 series, improving compatibility with WP 5.5+'s updates management
1243 * TWEAK: Suppress message about how to upgrade an already-installed plugin when on WP 5.5+ (where it is no longer relevant)
1244 * TWEAK: Internal refactoring to allow more flexibility when creating database backups
1245 * TWEAK: Force the turning off of ANSI_QUOTES in the active SQL mode when creating a backup, for better compatibility

1264 * TWEAK: Use the administration email address (if possible) as the email sender address when sending a backup report email
1265 * TWEAK: Catch new OneDrive access token has expired message during a backup

1267 * TWEAK: Add a warning alert when the remote scan button is pressed to explain this feature to prevent support requests
1268 * TWEAK: On large databases the amount of database tables can exceed the php_max_input_vars value; an option has been added to allow the restore operation to include tables that are missing from the list
1269 * NOTE: The free version 1.16.27 was released as 1.16.26; i.e. if confused about 1.16.26 went, then the answer is that they are the same thing.
1270
1271 = 1.16.25 - 23/May/2020 =
1272
1273 * FIX: Dropbox since 1.16.24 was only deleting one backup files archive out of the set. i.e. Excess archives remained on Dropbox. These have to be deleted manually.

1280 * FEATURE: Added the ability to choose the remote storage locations you want to send your backup to in the "Backup Now" modal
1281 * FIX: If non-WordPress tables are selected in the advanced 'Backup Now' options, then back them up (even if the saved setting to back them up is off). i.e. "Backup Now" over-ride options should have been taking priority.
1282 * FIX: Failure to restore database 'view' in some rare circumstances due to the nonexistent DEFINER account and lack of privileges
1283 * TWEAK: Handle binary data during backup
1284 * TWEAK: Add strack_st to the lists of large logging tables and tables not requiring search/replace

1544 * PERFORMANCE: Force UpdraftClone to use a 100MB split size for better performance (previously intended, but not always working)
1545 * TWEAK: Upon restoration, WP's cache directory will be emptied (by default it is not included in backups, so in theory this is a no-op, but the occasional case has been seen where it got populated during the restore process)
1546 * TWEAK: Add support for the new Europe (Stockholm) (eu-north-1) AWS region in Amazon S3
1547 * TWEAK: Advise the user if they changed the plugin's slug (and so won't be able to get updates) (paid versions)

2053 * TWEAK: Escape log lines when sending for display (theoretically an XSS security issue, but to achieve a successful attack, someone would have to first get something malicious into the log file, which is difficult as there are not many places where foreign input can end up in the log file - e.g. hack into Dropbox and cause Dropbox to send you back malicious HTML in an error message - and then be able to persuade you to both take a backup triggering the problem and then view the log file in your WP dashboard)
2054 * TWEAK: Update Google Cloud bucket locations

2077 * FIX: Added a nonce to the Dropbox deauth link. This is a minor security issue - someone personally targeting you, who knew that you were logged in to your WordPress admin, and who could persuade you to visit a personally-crafted web page, could cause the connection between UpdraftPlus and your Dropbox to be broken. The only impact of this is that the sending of your next backup to Dropbox would fail, and you would be alerted about the need to re-connect.

2090 * FIX: The free version of 1.12.37/38 in some circumstances could fail to complete Dropbox authentication
2091

2100 * FIX: Fix an issue that could occasionally cause corruption of interrupted Dropbox backups. All Dropbox users are recommended to update asap.
2101 * TWEAK: Remove debugging statement inadvertently left in 1.12.36
2102 * TWEAK: Re-factored remote storage handlers via add-ons so that there was a cleaner and more consistent class hierarchy (preparation for future improvements). N.B. If you subsequently downgrade to an older version of UpdraftPlus, you will need to re-enter the settings for some remote storage options.
2103 * TWEAK: List of checksum algorithms run over backups and logged now includes SHA256, and is filterable (SHA1 now considered deprecated)
2104 * TWEAK: Allow chunked database encryption to try and resume in the event of an error
2105 * TWEAK: Improve the premium/extension tab content
2106 * TWEAK: Fix an issue whereby the UpdraftVault settings section could show a bogus problem with checking quota immediately after initial setup
2107 * TWEAK: When requesting a download, work around buggy browser/server that continued after Connection: close
2108 * TWEAK: Improve the UI experience when downloading a log file for display fails
2109 * TWEAK: Prevent PHP notice if another plugin cancels a cron event
