## FAQ

### How long does WordPress backup and migration take?

Most WordPress site backups and migrations complete in 10-30 minutes, depending 
on site size and hosting server resources.

### How long do I have to restore my backup?

Backups and their restore codes are valid for 48 hours after creation. After that
the backup is deleted from our servers and you’ll need to run a fresh backup.

### What if I lose the restore code email?

The restore code is the only way to download your backup, and we cannot retrieve
a lost code. If you don’t see the email, check spam — otherwise just run the backup
again to get a new code.

### Can I backup only specific parts of my WordPress site?

Yes! Use the advanced options to selectively backup and migrate your database, plugins,
uploads, or themes. Perfect for large WordPress sites.

### Does 1-Click Migration work with WordPress Multisite?

Not currently. The plugin is optimized for single WordPress site backup and migration.

### Will my URLs update automatically during WordPress migration?

Yes! 1-Click Migration automatically updates all database entries including serialized
data when you migrate your WordPress site to a new domain.

### How long do I have to restore my WordPress backup?

WordPress backups are available for 48 hours after creation. You can create a new
backup anytime if you miss the restoration window.

### Is there a limit on WordPress site size for backup and migration?

No! Unlike other WordPress migration plugins, 1-Click Migration handles sites of
any size completely free. Large sites over 1GB can use selective restore options.

### Can I use this for WordPress staging site setup?

Absolutely! Clone your live WordPress site to create staging environments for testing
updates, themes, or plugins safely.

and migration process (zero downtime migration).

Tried to migrate with 3-4 other plugins, and this was the only one that actually
did it, in less than 15 minutes. Absolutely recommended.

I’m doing WP migrations all the time, and I just stumbled upon this plugin. I tested
it with two migrations and I’m baffled how easy it was to do the task. I’m definietly
recommend this solution.

## Changelog

#### 3.1.4

 * **Log Noise Reduction**: Suppressed unrelated theme/plugin PHP errors after migrations
   finish and deduplicated identical PHP errors across requests while migrations
   are active.

#### 3.1.3

 * **User Guidance**: Added contextual “How to fix” messages for quota, write permission,
   loopback, download/decrypt/extract, and database import failures.

#### 3.1.2

 * **Restore Reliability**: Restore now fails clearly when disk quota or write permissions
   prevent downloads, decryption, or ZIP extraction instead of reporting partial
   files as restored.
 * **Restore Diagnostics**: Added a restore workspace write probe and hardened DB
   failure-context logging for malformed SQL payloads.

#### 3.1.1

 * **Backup Diagnostics**: Added admin-ajax loopback and worker dispatch logging
   to help identify hosts that block background backup workers.

#### 3.1

 * **Restore Reliability**: Fixed PHP fallback database imports on hosts where `
   proc_open` is disabled so comment-prefixed SQL table definitions are imported
   correctly.
 * **Restore Safety**: Database import errors now stop the restore and surface a
   clear failure instead of logging `Restore completed.`
 * **Restore Validation**: Restore now verifies the imported `siteurl` option before
   running URL replacement.

#### 3.0

 * **MAJOR UPDATE — please install.** Older versions will stop working soon as the
   legacy backup endpoint is retired. Update now to keep backup and restore functional.
 * **Redesigned Admin UI**: New tabbed Backup / Restore interface with clearer steps,
   inline help, progress card, and a yellow notice banner that surfaces the email/
   restore-code reminder after a backup completes.
 * **Simpler Restore Access**: Backup now uses your email and sends an 8-character
   restore code when the backup completes. Restore takes only that code — no separate
   email field needed.
 * **Pre-Flight Disk Space Check**: Backup and restore exit early with a clear message
   if there’s not enough free disk space, instead of failing midway.
 * **Backup Security**: Files continue to be encrypted (AES-256) before upload, 
   with improved key handling behind the scenes.
 * **Retention**: Backup availability is now consistently 48 hours.
 * **Backup Reliability**: Improved backup stability on sites with plugins that 
   interfere with long-running background tasks.
 * **Restore Reliability**: Improved restore stability when plugin code, locked 
   folders, or stubborn file permissions would previously interrupt a migration.
 * **Security**: Removed the old legacy access path and tightened the restore flow.
 * **Compatibility**: Existing backups from the previous version remain restorable
   during the short upgrade window only.

#### 2.6.1

 * **Critical Fix**: Fixed fatal `Call to undefined function OCM\ini_set()` crash
   on shared hosts that disable `ini_set`/`ini_get` via `disable_functions` — this
   was a 100% restore blocker on affected cPanel hosts
 * **Critical Fix**: Fixed “OS: Windows” log message being written 250+ times per
   backup on Windows/XAMPP hosts — now logs only once per session
 * **Bug Fix**: Fixed fatal crash when Stop & Reset is clicked mid-backup — background
   process now re-creates the temporary directory if it was deleted

#### 2.6.0

 * **Critical Fix**: Fixed DivisionByZeroError crash during database backup when
   tables report 0 MB in information_schema (affected Gravity Forms and other small
   tables)
 * **Bug Fix**: Changed error catch from `Exception` to `Throwable` so PHP 8 DivisionByZeroError
   is properly caught by the fallback handler
 * **Log Noise Reduction**: Added error deduplication to suppress identical PHP 
   errors from being logged 30+ times per session (e.g. theme/plugin bugs)
 * **Log Noise Reduction**: Suppressed per-table “Table being backed up” log messages
   that generated 50-80+ lines per backup on large sites
 * **Log Fix**: Fixed misleading “Bucket created” log message that appeared after
   AWS 502 errors — now correctly says “Retrying bucket creation”

#### 2.5.9

 * **Maintenance Mode**: Automatically enables maintenance mode during restore to
   prevent visitors from seeing broken pages, white screens, or database errors
 * **Admin & API Bypass**: Admin users and REST API requests (e.g. progress polling)
   bypass maintenance mode so the dashboard stays functional
 * **Progress Indicator**: The admin progress endpoint now reports maintenance mode
   status so the dashboard indicator works
 * **Auto Cleanup**: Maintenance mode is automatically disabled when the restore
   completes or is cancelled via Stop & Reset

#### 2.5.8

 * **Timeout Fix**: Reset PHP time limit before each major operation (archive, encrypt,
   upload, download, decrypt, extract) to prevent timeouts on large sites
 * **Upload Fix**: Upload timeout now uses the full execution budget instead of 
   the exhausted background process remaining time
 * **Download Fix**: Restore file downloads now use the full timeout budget instead
   of remaining background process time
 * **Bug Fix**: Fixed `Undefined array key "tables"` crash when mysqldump fails 
   and falls back to PHP-based export
 * **Bug Fix**: Fixed `error_reporting` never being restored on success paths in
   zip creation and folder backup
 * **Resilience**: Error handler no longer kills the process for fatal errors from
   external themes/plugins (e.g. WooCommerce dependency in child themes)
 * **Reliability**: Added pre-flight disk space check before DB and folder backups
   to fail early with a clear message
 * **Cleanup**: Removed dead `retry` parameter from `wp_remote_post` calls

#### 2.5.7

 * **Bug Fix**: Fixed fatal error during restore where `$presigned_urls` (stdClass)
   was passed to `sprintf` instead of the directory path string
 * **Bug Fix**: Made `mkdir` recursive when creating `tmp/db/` directory so it succeeds
   even if the parent `tmp/` directory was cleaned up
 * **Restore Fix**: Clear stale background process queues after DB import to prevent
   source site’s backup tasks from firing on the destination

#### 2.5.6

 * **Concurrency Fix**: Added MySQL advisory locks to prevent concurrent background
   handlers from processing the same batch simultaneously
 * **Reliability**: Fixed race condition where multiple handlers could duplicate
   compress, encrypt, and upload operations
 * **Upload Fallback**: Improved upload step to construct expected encrypted file
   path when step metadata is missing, preventing silent upload skips

#### 2.3.7

 * **Progress Bar Fix**: Resolved progress bar jumping back to 1% during database
   backup operations
 * **Memory Management**: Implemented dynamic memory management with automatic page
   sizing based on available system resources
 * **Error Handling**: Added robust validation and error handling for S3 file uploads
   with proper file path checking
 * **Logging Improvements**: Enhanced logging system with better filtering to prevent
   progress bar interference from verbose messages
 * **Debug Tools**: Added conditional debug logging (WP_DEBUG only) to help identify
   unmapped progress messages
 * **Database Optimization**: Improved database export operations with dynamic row
   increment sizing and better memory monitoring

#### 2.3.6

 * **Reliability Fix**: Disabled async dispatch in favor of direct processing for
   guaranteed execution on all hosting environments
 * **Compatibility**: Resolved backup hanging issues on AWS and other servers where
   async HTTP requests may fail silently
 * **Stability**: Reverted to proven direct processing approach for maximum reliability
   across all hosting providers

#### 2.3.5

 * **UX Improvement**: Disable Backup/Restore buttons when all components are excluded
   to prevent empty backups
 * **UX Improvement**: Fixed progress bar jump from 1% to 0% at the start of backup/
   restore operations
 * **Bug Fix**: Added validation to prevent silent failures when attempting to backup
   with all components excluded

#### 2.3.3

 * **Bug Fix**: Fixed `is_processing()` method compatibility issue with different
   WP Background Processing library versions
 * **Compatibility**: Replaced method call with direct transient check for maximum
   compatibility

#### 2.3.2

 * **Security Fix**: Added nonce verification and capability checks to prevent unauthorized
   access (CVE-2025-3455)
 * **Reliability**: Simplified background processing for maximum compatibility across
   all hosting environments
 * **UX Improvement**: Fixed progress bar freeze after restore completion and login
 * **Performance**: Removed async complexity that caused race conditions on various
   hosts
 * **Compatibility**: Enhanced stop & reset functionality to prevent stuck states
