(Quote) I dislike the shadiness of it. The "free" plugins that hamper core functionality until you pay. The plugin search and promotion on WP.org that pushes those who've paid the bribes, basically. Zeitgeist I guess - that's ho…
-
(Quote) Wants your money for the pro - if you want to do a migration to a different domain without much hassle. Free is just a technicality - as is the case with 99.99% of the "backup" plugins. Sigh. (Quote) Useless for migration - they w…
-
(Quote) LOL :) I'll look for alternatives - from a company that is not Servmask. (Image) :) If we can't laugh, what can we do?
-
Nah - Updraft Plus is shit for migrating. I'll stick with the old AIO and maybe figure out a way to remove the limits - or find an alternative option.
-
(Quote) That is the same how AIO WP Migration works. You do need to install WP and the plugin, and then use the plugin to import the backup you made using that same plugin. During the import, if the domain is different, the plugin auto-fixes all…

(Quote) Can't restore a backup on a different domain by importing it there? That's what I wanted to test.

(Quote) Updraft Plus is the first to try. If it proves reliable and does all I need it to do in the free version. https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/

(Quote) Capitalism actually rewards sociopathy and greed.

(Quote) This is not about the support. Apparently, they went out of their way to prevent their plugin from working for anyone who isn't paying them a subscription - including the owners of the "unlimited lifetime" licences they sold. …
-
(Quote) Nope. Gave up - every reply is "it's all working try without a VPN" (with different wording). It is fraud. Also, worth noting, my WP .org review for the plugin is getting blocked/moderated - so can't post it (wasn'…
-
(Quote) Very shady (fraudulent IMO). My licence is still not resolved - 2 workdays silence from the support (maybe they got tired from all the back-and-forth nonsense).
-
(Quote) Can updraft free: * Export test1.example.com * Import it on www.example.com * Fix any links and email domain changes (ideally with an option to do the same without altering email domains)? That's why I found the AIO very helpful - it …

(Quote) I suppose we'll get to that in a month or two. LOL. :)
-
Going back-and-forth with the tech. support for about a week now. "Your licence works. Try without a VPN." I've tried without a VPN from at least two different computers and ISPs, it's not working, nor from the hosting server. …

(Quote) The tech. support is still claiming it's just a temporary glitch. The most recent "jewel" was a suggestion to "try without a VPN if you are using one" - as if my Net connection has anything to do with hosted WordPre…

(Quote) I've been using it for years. I did save all the info, including the original download link (which used to work). Now it no longer works. (Image)
-
Seems like they've decided to not honour the lifetime. Tech. support says it's all good - but I still get those errors and can't update. Frustrating. Google says I'm far from the only one. (Image) It is also worth noting tha…

(Quote) Should I send Rocky and Knuckles over?
-
(Quote) IMO it would make more sense to move it to a normal theme under the WordPress section - and act differently if we do run into any problems.

(Quote) Yup. bikegremlin.com was first registered with 1-and-1 for $1 for the first year (then I read the terms, saw the renewal price, and moved it in time to Namecheap, and a few years after that to Porkbun). Hosting was first with a suspiciously…

(Quote) Sums it up well - though my eye starts twitching when I hear "Bluehost" - LOL :)

For some things I'm 10 years ahead of my time, for others just a month or so LOL :) https://blog.cloudflare.com/from-googlebot-to-gptbot-whos-crawling-your-site-in-2025/

(Quote) Yup - if you aren't selling anything, people have zero reasons to open any of your pages - Google gives the regurgitated (copy/pasted) text from your site. "The Great Decoupling": (Image) * Top (purple) line is the number o…

(Quote) Worst example is a friend's forum (his problem urged me to edit my original article and start this thread). 800 different IP addresses in a 5-minute time frame, bots/crawlers, browsing pages. Putting a huge load on the VPS' CPU - t…

(Quote) Yup - caching does make a huge difference (sometimes I miss the good old static HTML stuff :) ).
