Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about AccessNow Site Replica

Step-by-step help articles, with screenshots, are at https://support.accessnow.com.au/help/workspace-accessnow/accessnow-site-replica. The plugin's own screens link to the article for each one, under the Help tab at the top right. To ask a question, post in the support forum at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/accessnow-site-replica/.

In a randomly named folder inside wp-content, for example wp-content/accessnow-replica-a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8, created the first time you use the plugin. A backup is a complete copy of a site, so it does not belong in the uploads folder, which is served to visitors by design; wp-content is where a backup plugin's own storage belongs. The folder carries deny rules for Apache and IIS, and the plugin checks whether this server serves it anyway — if it does, it says so and refuses to write backups there until it is fixed. Set ACCESSNOW_REPLICA_STORAGE_DIR in wp-config.php if you would rather keep backups somewhere else.

Backups, job files and logs: in the storage folder above. Nothing else is written there, and no PHP file is ever created. A backup stores each file once under its checksum, with no file name or extension, and script files compressed, so the folder never holds runnable copies of your site's code; the list of real names is kept alongside, and a restore puts each file back under its own name. During a restore only: wp-content/mu-plugins/accessnow-replica-compat.php, so that a plugin being replaced cannot interrupt the restore half way through. It is removed when the restore finishes, and it stops doing anything after a day even if the restore never finishes. If you ask for it when restoring: wp-content/mu-plugins/accessnow-replica-mail-guard.php, which stops a copied site emailing the original site's customers. It stays until you delete it, the plugin tells you it is there, and uninstalling the plugin removes it. For a few seconds during the switch-over: WordPress's own .maintenance file, as core does during an update. Nothing is written into WordPress core folders, into other plugins' or themes' folders, or outside the WordPress installation.

No. Backups contain the database and wp-content. A restore never replaces the destination's wp-config.php or its drop-ins.

Not yet. Multisite sites can be backed up, but restoring them is not supported in this version.

Site Replica → Cloud Backups shows the steps: create a Google Cloud project with the Drive API, an OAuth consent screen (published "In production", otherwise Google ends the access after 7 days) and an OAuth client of type "Web application" with the redirect address shown on the page. Paste the client ID and secret, then click Connect Google Drive. Sites that used the old WP Replica plugin can reuse its Google app with one click.

Any storage with the S3 API: Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2, Wasabi, MinIO and others. Create a bucket and an access key limited to it, then enter them under Cloud Backups (choose “Other” and enter the endpoint for providers that are not listed). Scheduled backups don't run on my quiet site. WordPress runs scheduled tasks only when someone visits. Add the cron job shown on the Cloud Backups page in your hosting control panel (every 5 minutes). My host's firewall blocks the requests. Site Replica tries several request addresses automatically. If the host still blocks it (for example Imunify360 or ModSecurity), the error names the firewall. Ask the host to allow requests containing accessnow_replica_api from the IP address of the site making the backup.
