My blog needs to be fixed. it’s working overall however after a sudden move to another host done by someone who did not program my blog resulted in a few issues that I am now finally trying to tackle.
Number one is my backups. I have backwpup installed and it was backing up on my dropbox but after working for 4 months the automated backup started to return to me with email logs with error messages.
So now I am trying to fix that I received the advice from someone to install updraft plus.
I want to give that a try but since I have little knowledge anymore about wp or webpages anymore since I been out of it for over 12 years I looked up this tutorial and figured ill use that.
I was told I do not have to uninstall backwpup before installing updraft plus.
I downloaded manually one last database backup (a my sql file?) to my laptop I assume I am safe with that?
Before I do anything I would like to know if just installing the plugin can cause my blog and site pages to disfunction?
Last but not least I wanted to use this tutorial when installing updraft plus: https://themeisle.com/blog/backup-a-wordpress-site-for-free/
Please let me know if that’s a good tutorial to follow for me.
The last thing I can use right now is my blog to stop functioning as I am not able to fix it right now and it is my outlet and diary on my healing journey so it is important to me. Thnx in advance for the help.
