About this plugin

UpdraftPlus is a WordPress backup plugin that automatically saves your site’s files, databases, themes, and plugins to remote storage destinations like Google Drive and Dropbox.

It’s perfect for site owners, developers, and agencies who want reliable, scheduled backups without the hassle. The standout benefit is easy one-click restoration, so if anything goes wrong, you’re back up and running in minutes. It’s a must-have for anyone serious about protecting their WordPress site.

Changelog

Version 1.26.14

2 new19 improved2 fixed

New

SFTP/SCP remote storage now supports modern host key algorithms like Ed25519 and also new cryptographies
Improve the restoration of the 'uploads' entity to be more efficient, and add the 'UPDRAFTPLUS_RESTORE_DELETE_OLD_UPLOAD_FILES' constant to allow the deletion of leftover files in the 'uploads' directory that are not part of the backup file

Improved

Disabled the option to automatically add websites to UDCentral upon connection by default. Users must now explicitly enable this option if they want websites to be added automatically upon connection.
Adjusted the Abort Backup popup icon sizing and added the missing "X" icon to the Close button on the backup completion popup.
Avoid warning by handling $_ENV variable.
Change the 'pre_database_backup_setup' action hook name to 'updraftplus_pre_database_backup_setup'
Check the existence of the user's folder before doing any UpdraftVault storage-related oprations to ensure the same directory is used even if the home/site URL has changed from using "www" to without using "www" or vice versa.
Enforce the WordPress DISALLOW_FILE_MODS constant to block all restore operations (including database) via the admin UI, WP-CLI, and the core restore method.
Ensure SFTP/SCP remote storage works with the phpseclib3 library upgrade, including SCP mode, Ed25519 SSH keys, database restores and rescans
Exclude the unused common-libs sub-libraries updraft-tasks and updraft-theme from the build to reduce the plugin size
Improved the remote storage UI with cleaner spacing, layout, font sizes, colors, and clearer wording, while fixing tooltip visibility for UpdraftVault.

Removed implicit nullable type hints in the bundled PEAR library (HTTP_Request2_CookieJar and Net_URL2) to resolve PHP 8.4 deprecation notices
Removed the CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER cURL option (a no-op since PHP 5.1.2) from the Dropbox consumer to prevent deprecation warnings on PHP 8.4+
Removed the UDP_Google_Client type hint from the $client parameter in UDP_Google_Http_REST::decodeHttpResponse() to resolve a PHP 8.4 deprecation notice caused by implicit nullable typing
Resolve PHP 8.2+ deprecation warning by explicitly declaring $commands property on UpdraftPlus_CLI_Command
Resolve an SQL error when backing up the sitemeta table on multisite using mysqldump on Windows.
The "Follow TeamUpdraft" social media notice now stays hidden for 84 days once dismissed
Update all links in the udaddons folder to use teamupdraft.com instead of updraftplus.com.
