    After installing per the instructions Backup/Restore fails to appear in the menu.

  2. Mark (58 comments.) says:

    You need to be logged in as the admin to be able to backup or restore your blog.

    Okay, thanks.

    Hi, does this work on 1.3-pre-alpha?

  5. Rob Mientjes (2 comments.) says:

    Is this compatible with any of the current nightlies – 1.3-alphas?

    Hi, thanks for the effort. I installed precisely as the instructions said and got the following error in the admin screen:
    Parse error: parse error, unexpected ‘,’ in /mnt/web_h/d47/s28/b0221019/www/WindhamWogs/wp-admin/menu.php on line 15

    My guess is that the instructions for adding the menu item in menu.php are incomplete:

    5) Open menu.php in your wp-admin folder and find this line:

    array(__(‘Users’), 3, ‘users.php’),

    Add this line right after that:

    array(__(‘Backup/Restore’), 10, ‘backupRestore.php’),”

    There must be more code that must be added to the new line. Here is what it looks like in my menu.php after following your directions:

    $menu[25] = array(__(‘Users’), 3, ‘users.php’);
    array(__(‘Backup/Restore’), 10, ‘backupRestore.php’),

    Please advise, thanks.
    Carl

  7. Mark says:

    You have a ‘;’ instead of a ‘,’ so replace the semicolon with a comma. The instructions are not incomplete as far as I can tell.

  8. Carl Lynder (3 comments.) says:

    Thanks for the fast reply and assistance. I replaced the comma, which is listed by the way in your instructions (readme.txt), and although my admin menu now loads I get this reponse from WP, which is displayed above the admin menu:

    Warning: Division by zero in /mnt/web_h/d47/s28/b0221019/www/WindhamWogs/wp-admin/menu.php on line 15

    I am using WP 1.2.1, maybe that makes a difference. My current menu.php code snippet looks like this:

    $menu[0] = array(__(‘Dashboard’), 0, ‘index.php’);
    $menu[5] = array(__(‘Write’), 1, ‘post.php’);
    $menu[10] = array(__(‘Manage’), 1, ‘edit.php’);
    $menu[20] = array(__(‘Links’), 5, ‘link-manager.php’);
    $menu[25] = array(__(‘Users’), 3, ‘users.php’);
    array(__(’Backup/Restore’), 10, ‘backupRestore.php’);
    $menu[30] = array(__(‘Options’), 6, ‘options-general.php’);
    $menu[35] = array(__(‘Plugins’), 8, ‘plugins.php’);
    $menu[40] = array(__(‘Templates’), 4, ‘templates.php’);
    $menu[45] = array(__(‘Upload’), get_settings(‘fileupload_minlevel’), ‘upload.php’);
    ksort($menu); // So other files can plugin

    Carl

    $menu[25] = array(__(‘Users’), 3, ‘users.php’);

    That actually might be a versioning issue. This hack has been tested on 1.2 (and nothing further) I will have to test and let you know. Sorry for the trouble

  10. Carl Lynder (3 comments.) says:

    Thanks for checking it out. Carl.

  11. Josh (3 comments.) says:

    Are you planning on making a version for 1.3? Please do because it is a lifesaver if something goes wrong.

  12. Mark says:

    No Timeline for the 1.3 version yet. Can you confirm that this does not work for 1.3? It should…

  13. Lorelle VanFossen (7 comments.) says:

    I must have had an old download from the WP Wiki, but the instructions for adding the array to menu.php was very wrong. Said “open menu.txt in your wp-admin folder…” and the line to ad said “backupRestore.php Backup/Restore” – no array, no commas, no “10” in the middle, nothing. I finally found the new instructions from here and it totally makes sense and works. Might want to check the wikis and WP-Plugin Manager to make sure the right files and instructions are all in there. The zip I downloaded originally didn’t include a tar.php file either.

    It seems to be working but I got a great string of errors, that ends with “success”.

    Could not connect to MySQL server!

    Backup Successful.

    Ideas?

    And thanks for the brilliant tool!

  14. Lorelle VanFossen (7 comments.) says:

    Triple checked and backup was NOT successful.

  15. achilleas says:

    It doesn’t seem to work for me: i want to move my db from one server to another. I backup the original db (successfully it says), i copy the file to the backup dir of the other server, I restore it there (successfully) but the posts and comments are not added. What am i missing ?

  16. Mark says:

    Did you check the instructions again to make sure that you followed all the steps?

  17. llizard says:

    in re: 3) Assign write permissions to the backup folder you just created

    Is that chmod 755?

    owner: read, write, execute
    group: read, execute
    world: read, execute

    It will be much better than before.
    Developing is always better.
