Make sure that you are doing all of the Custom Code steps. Save the Custom Code, create a new master .htaccess file and activate the htaccess file. If that is not the problem then… What is probably...

This is probably a host specific thing or a DSO file/folder Ownership thing. The security log text file is located in the /bps-backup/logs/ folder and the zip archive is created in that same folder....

Check your server log file and see if there is an error regarding this for clues. You can post it here and I may be able to tell you what the issue is. DSO servers are a completely different animal...

I think it probably worked because you saved the Security Log/email options. In BPS free I am not sure if we are automatically saving all DB options, but that should be done if it is not already...

Did you use the BPS DB Table Prefix Changer to change your DB Table Prefix? Is your wp-config.php file writable – Ownership/Permissions? Was the new DB Table Prefix added to your wp-config.php file?...

Yep, I used the new BPS db table prefix function to update the prefix. The wp-config file might not have been writable at the time (server runs DSO so permissions are always an issue) but BPS...

I checked the code and a checking condition needs to be add for “is writable” for the wp-config.php file on DSO servers. The code currently tries to CHMOD the file permissions, but that would not...
