Comment on Recommended Backup Schedules and/or Schedule templates by udadmin

Hi Andreas,

You can achieve this already by using the settings import/export feature, in the “Tools” tab. To do so:

– Make a blank install
– Set the settings for your schedule, only, and export the settings

Then, when you begin on a new site, you can import your chosen setting with your schedules, and then configure the rest that is specific to the site.

Job Description

PHP and JavaScript WordPress Plugin Developer

Location: We’re based in Wales, UK, but this job is also open to freelancer developers around the world!

Start date: ASAP

We have an exciting opportunity for a Web Developer with excellent PHP and/or JS and ideally WordPress experience to join a growing, ambitious team to help develop further one of the world’s fastest growing and most-installed WordPress plugins, UpdraftPlus (see www.updraftplus.com).

Active on over 3 million websites, the company’s product is also the highest rated of its kind, and the most installed plugin owned by a UK company.

You will play a leading role in the company’s aim to continue to be the dominant player in the plugin industry.

You’d be working together with a small team of others involved in development and testing.

 

Responsibilities breakdown:

Our needs divide into the following areas, and your exact responsibilities will depend on your experience, how this fits with other members of the team and subject to discussion and agreement!

You’ll definitely need experience with:

  • PHP – you’d be coding UpdraftPlus or WP Optimize, plus fragments for managing the website as well as UpdraftCentral.
  • WordPress plugin development – ideally you’ll have a bit of experience of this, but if not a willingness to learn.
    It would be nice if you have experience with:
     
  • JavaScript – a smaller part of UpdraftPlus, but much bigger part of UpdraftCentral.
  • GitHub / GitLab / Git – nice to have, but can be learnt quickly by good developers used to alternatives like SVN.


Company Benefits:

We trust our employees to work autonomously. You won’t be micro-managed and you’ll be trusted to work remotely whilst using your time as effectively as possible.

Rather work from 8am-4pm, or perhaps you’d prefer the traditional 9am-5pm? Let’s discuss your needs during your interview and figure out how you best enjoy finding that perfect work/life balance.

Down-time is important. You work hard and deserve a sufficient amount of holiday to help recharge your batteries! With UpdraftPlus, you’ll start on 25 days a year plus the 8 standard bank holidays.

To do the best job you’ll need the best tools! We will discuss with you everything you’ll need to do your job before you start your first day.

Need any learning and development?  Chat to us and we’ll see what we can do.  We are committed to investing in all of our employees, so if there are any books, online tools or courses you think would be beneficial, we will do our best to make sure you get them.  

If we’ve captured your attention and would like to apply, please send your C.V. and portfolio over to Kelly Martin at [email protected]

Job Vacancy – Content Manager

Location: UK, homebased with some UK travel for monthly team meetings

Hours: Full-time, part-time, flexible

Salary: £25k – 45k, negotiable, dependant on experience

 

About UpdraftPlus 

At UpdraftPlus we make plugins for WordPress that help our customers to backup, restore, clone, secure and optimize their WordPress websites.

Our growth has largely been down to the strength of our products. Our plugins are some of the most highly rated plugins on WordPress.

We have amazing product development teams. Now it’s time to build leading business and operational teams to match. As a result, we’re recruiting for a number of roles. 

 

About the role

They say that ‘Content is King’ and we agree. 

Your role would be to oversee and plan content across our range of WordPress plugins. From short-form blog writing to video content to long-form technical documentation. 

We want to hear from you if:

  • You’re a strategic thinker. You know what the content overseen by you needs to achieve, from helping existing customers in using our products, to engaging new ones.
  • You can translate strategic thinking into action, in this case into a content calendar of ideas. 
  • You’re a natural organiser. You’d enjoy and excel at organising and planning content from ideas to inception and reporting. 
  • Your high attention to detail means that content owned by you will be of a high quality. You have a penchant for well-written copy. You can spot a typo from a mile away.  
  • You’re analytical. You’re able to survey the market to see what’s topical and then analyse the performance of content once it’s ‘out there’. 
  • You’re a confident communicator, and a team player. You’ll take the lead in approaching colleagues based all over the world for content ideas.
  • You enjoy writing. Over time you’ll find other writers and freelancers you’ll want to work with, but you enjoy producing your own written content too.

We know we’re asking a lot, so if you tick most of the boxes (but not all) we still want to hear from you. Knowledge and experience of WordPress is a massive bonus.

 

Company Benefits

  • Flexible hours We’re available for each other when it counts, but outside of that your work hours are yours to own and manage. 
  • Remote working – Work remotely from home, your local café, whatever works for you.  Our team is 100% remote. 
  • Part-time considered – we’re flexible, for the right candidate.
  • Monthly meet-ups – We aim to meet once a month for face-to-face time and so occasional travel is required. 

 

It’s an exciting time to join UpdraftPlus, we’re an evolving business with tonnes of opportunity for growth. 

To apply, send a CV and a cover letter explaining why you’re right for the role to [email protected]

UpdraftPlus Marks Anniversary of All-in-One Security Acquisition with Major Release

AIOS 5.0 is the first major release of ‘All-in-One Security’, since the popular WordPress Plugin was acquired by UpdraftPlus in August 2021. 

Joe Miles, Director at UpdraftPlus said:

“We’re thrilled to build on the good work already done with All-In-One Security (AIOS), the only five-star rated WordPress security plugin with more than 1 million active installs. Release 5.0 brings significant new features, tweaks and fixes to our loyal customer base.”

AIOS 5.0 includes the launch of a new PHP firewall. 

Previous versions used .htaccess files to provide firewall rules. This new release extends AIOS server compatibility beyond apache based servers. 

AIOS also includes the addition of Two-Factor Authentication (TFA). TFA supports TOTP + HOTP protocols and so supports Google Authenticator, Authy and various other authentication tools.

The UpdraftPlus team is also working on an AIOS Premium product which will bring active scanning for downtime and malware as well as response time monitoring, advanced two factor authentication, country blocking, smart 404 blocking and premium support at a competitive price point.
