Where can I find information about the myRepono WordPress Backup Plugin? Plugin Information: http://myRepono.com/wordpress-backup-plugin/ Where can I find documentation for the myRepono WordPress Backup Plugin? FAQ & Documentation: http://myRepono.com/faq/ Is support available for this plugin? Yes, we provide comprehensive online support free of charge via our online helpdesk at: https://myRepono.com/contact/ Plugin Requirements In addition to the standard WordPress requirements, the myRepono WordPress Backup plugin requires that your PHP `allow_url_fopen` configuration option is set to ` on`, or that the PHP curl and optionally the OpenSSL extension libraries are installed. The myRepono WordPress Backup Plugin includes a CURL Extension Emulation Library which the plugin will use if alternate HTTP/HTTPS connection methods fail, therefore PHP CURL support may not be required. The myRepono WordPress Backup Plugin can only be used on web accessible servers which the myRepono.com system can connect to, the plugin will notify you if your are not using a web accessible server. The myRepono WordPress Backup Plugin is frequently and thoroughly tested with WordPress versions, 2.8, 2.9, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3.x, 3.4.x, 3.5.x, 3.6.x, 3.7.x, 3.8.x, 3.9. x, 4.0.x, 4.1.x, 4.2.x and 4.3.x. Is the myRepono WordPress Backup Plugin compatible with a WordPress Multisite/ Network installation? Yes, the myRepono WordPress Backup Plugin is compatible with WordPress Multisite/ Network installations, and will enable you to backup your complete WordPress Multisite/ Network installation with only a single installation of the myRepono WordPress Backup Plugin (or API). myRepono will backup your WordPress files and databases without any interaction with WordPress – the myRepono WordPress Backup Plugin is essentially an interface for myRepono which automates the API setup process and which gives you a basic management system as part of your WordPress administration panel. This means myRepono can backup a WordPress multisite/networks installation in the same way as a standard single-site installation – to the myRepono API it’s just files and databases. The key limitation to this is that since a WordPress multisite/network installation requires changes to the server’s Apache configuration, those changes would not be automatically restored by myRepono unless they were managed using a .htaccess file or an Apache configuration file which can be backed-up by your myRepono API. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c146388c2c66c01dbce4b9736f094b9852e6e60d80faf11900e01ddee0d1061f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Nobody there anymore](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nobody-there-anymore/)󠁿 [alextech](https://profiles.wordpress.org/alextech/) March 18, 2023 There used to be pretty quick replies to questions, but for the past year or so, nothing. I do not plan to renew my account. ManageWP is way, way better – and completely free! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1c9250d4965b7911d426becbb570942864f0babd5bee3ea2af5002cf3dee7a54? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Doesn’t work, no support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-no-support-35/)󠁿 [eggmedia](https://profiles.wordpress.org/eggmedia/) January 21, 2021 I have been paying for several years to have several sites backed up with MyRepono. Even though WordPress says it hasn’t been tested with the latest versions, the company assured me it would work. I finally had to use it for a restore operation and it deleted my database. Five days after sending an urgent message to tech support I have no response. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ece485adad6b587cff4a26f293f3504769c5de159b5c38bd916e4c0de2010b8e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Slow, not reliable](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slow-not-reliable/)󠁿 [brian7997](https://profiles.wordpress.org/brian7997/) October 24, 2016 We have used myrepono in the past but the restoration process took forever. A 300mb website took over an hour to restore, when asked they said it was the connection speed which I don’t buy. The back system would fail on some hosting providers. Everything is stored as packets, so you can’t easily download the database or just files. With all the other backup solutions, I can’t recommend myrepono. Better off going with an S3 backup solution. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b11b212ff2adee91a894b6571c45032715ef033eab3d46067e2fbdb01986ae21? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Easy to Setup, Reliable, and Affordable](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-to-setup-reliable-and-affordable/)󠁿 [ruess](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ruess/) September 3, 2016 I’ve used this plugin and service for years now and in more than one occasion it’s been a life-saver, literally! The plugin is smoother than ever for setting up new sites and the prices are extremely reasonable and competitive – much cheaper than most other services. It’s nice to know that all my sites are backed up and I love how I can easily specify the frequency that I want them backed up. Also, I can see by the backups how much space-creep my sites are engaging in. Highly recommended!

Please contact us immediately if you experience any installation issues: https://myRepono.com/contact/new/ Upgrading from version 1.x.x: Due to new security measures the new plugin can not be setup automatically using your existing plugin configuration – we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause!

These files are located in your `/wp- content/plugins/myrepono-wordpress-backup-plugin/api/` directory.

Note, the ‘ myrepono_config.php’ file will be removed from your API directory (/wp-content/plugins/ myrepono-wordpress-backup-plugin/api/) when upgrading to plugin v1.1.2 and therefore if the file exists it must be manually restored, the file will not be removed during future plugin upgrades. #### 1.1.1 Plugin will now automatically detect if the associated domain configuration has been removed via myRepono.com and will automatically default to an existing domain when possible.

API is not automatically installed after plugin update, 1.0.6 update addressed this when user visited plugin but not if user did not access plugin section – this update will re-install the API without requiring the user to visit the plugin section of your WordPress administration panel. The plugin will also notify admin when the API is automatically re-installed. #### 1.0.7 Minor usability improvements and interface adjustments. #### 1.0.6 CRITICAL UPDATE RESOLVING ERROR WHEN UPDATING MYREPONO WORDPRESS BACKUP PLUGIN When updating the myRepono WordPress Backup Plugin your myRepono Backup API is removed which will in-turn cause your backups to fail, this version of the plugin will automatically re-install the API and will notify you if it is unable to do so. #### 1.0.5 Domain selection feature added enabling users to view backups for multiple domains( added under same myRepono.com account), with a single WordPress plugin.
