Worry Proof Backup

Change Log

0.2.4

• Enhancement: Added a new filter/hook worrprba_dummy_pack_skip_install_proccess that allows developers to programmatically skip any install process step in dummy/demo pack install. You can now hook like:
  add_filter('worrprba_dummy_pack_skip_install_proccess', function($skip) {
return ['restore_plugins']; // support: restore_uploads, restore_plugins, restore_database
}, 10);
• Maintenance: Code cleanup and improved inline documentation for the new hook.

0.2.3

• New: Enhanced Dummy Pack installation flow with explicit support for different package types:
  • Premium Packs: Packs marked as premium now require license checks and validation before install. Installation will not proceed unless a valid license is detected (future versions may expand license management options).
  • Free Packs: No license verification required; install is one-click and streamlined.
  • Locked Packs: UI now clearly displays locked packs. Attempting to install presents a notice that admin action or additional steps may be required (for example, connecting to licensing server).
• UI: Updated Dummy Pack Center—each pack now shows “Premium,” “Free,” or “Locked” indicators for instant clarity on requirements.
• Feature: Improved backend/frontend coordination for locked and premium package logic, including step-by-step license checks.
• Enhancement: Import/install process UI now shows more detailed, real-time step indicators, status, and errors for each phase (download, unpack, validate, restore, etc.).
• Improvement: Smoother (and clearer) visual feedback during all stages of the import process, with clearer error or license prompts when actions are blocked.
• Maintenance: Internal refactoring for easier extension (future support of license keys, pro packs, or external validation APIs).

0.2.2

• Update: Installation of dummy/demo data packs now requires PHP 8.0 or higher and WordPress 6.0 or above for optimal compatibility and performance.
• Improvement: Enhanced validation and user feedback for plugin/theme/Uploads restore steps when installing demo packs from Dummy Pack Center.
• Fix: Resolved issues with extracting large zip files that caused incomplete restores on certain hosting providers.
• Fix: Improved support for excluding backup plugin folders from uploads restore to prevent unnecessary file overwrite.
• Maintenance: Updated documentation, requirements notices, and internal callbacks for more robust error handling during demo/dummy pack install and restore.

0.2.1

• New: Install Dummy Pack Center—one-click install of prebuilt demo/dummy content packs.
• Feature: Easily import demo content, themes, plugins, and starter data for fast site prototyping and testing.
• UI: Added Dummy Pack Center tab to WP Backup admin (requires latest version).
• Enhancement: Improved hooks and modular architecture for adding future dummy/demo packs.

0.2.0

• New: Added support for uploading large backup files via CLI REST endpoint.
• Feature: REST API endpoints allow chunked uploads of backup ZIPs for improved reliability with big files.
• Security: Only users with manage_options capability can use the chunked upload endpoints.
• Enhancement: Restores can now be initialized from uploaded ZIP backups regardless of size via CLI-compatible REST routes.

0.1.9

• Upgrade: Improved the folder/file restore logic for better performance, reliability, and compatibility with extremely large folders.
• Change: Refactored the restore file system methods to avoid memory exhaustion and timeout issues even with tens of thousands of files.
• Enhanced: Restore operations now work in batches with progress tracking to ensure smooth restores on all hosts.
• Security: Improved checks and error handling during restore to prevent incomplete or partial restores.
• Fix: Fixed rare bug where deeply nested folders could fail to restore under certain server configurations.

0.1.8

• New: Added backup-database-dumper-json.php class for improved database backups with JSON-based dumps for faster export and better compatibility.
• New: Added restore-database-json.php class for restoring database backups created with the new JSON dumper.
• Enhanced: Database backup and restore now use ID, name, backup types, status, and improved metadata for each backup set.
• Improved: Both new classes are optimized for large datasets and support modern PHP 8+ error handling.

0.1.7

• Major upgrade to Backup Schedule: improved scheduling accuracy and reliability.
• Backups are now tracked using unique IDs, names, and enhanced metadata for easier management.
• Better tracking of backup status (“completed”), backup type, size, and date.
• Foundation for advanced recurring scheduling and backup history.
• General code clean-up and minor bug fixes.

0.1.6

• Fixed compatibility issues with certain hosting providers (like Kinsta) where functions such as disk_total_space and shell_exec are not available.
• Known issue: Backing up the database on Kinsta may sometimes fail because file_put_contents can change special characters in the SQL file. This is not fixed yet.

0.1.5

• Added new “Backup File System V2” class with support for customizable chunk size during file backups.
• Improved handling of large sites and backup stability.
• Preparation for advanced backup and restore features.
