About MyThemeShop My WP Backup Pro WordPress Plugin 1.3.12
My WP Backup Pro is a backup plugin from MyThemeShop. Its job is to protect a site against the things that go wrong: server problems, corrupted data and hacking. You schedule backups, and the plugin delivers them by email, to Amazon S3, and to other destinations, so a copy exists away from your server.
The file on record is old. It dates from July 2017, and the listing notes that no newer version is available. WordPress, PHP and hosting environments have changed a good deal since then, so test it on a staging copy before trusting it with a live site, including a restore, because a backup you've never restored is only a hope.
If you need a backup plugin that is actively maintained, consider one of the alternatives below, and use this one only if you have a specific reason and have tested it.
Key features
- Scheduled backups
- Set backups to run automatically on a schedule.
- Email delivery
- Have a backup emailed to you, which suits small sites.
- Amazon S3 storage
- Send backups to Amazon S3, so a copy lives outside your server.
- Other destinations
- The listing mentions further delivery options beyond email and S3.
- Protection against server problems
- Aimed at recovering from server failures, data corruption and hacking.
Is it right for you?
A good fit for
- Small, older sites that already run this plugin and want to keep using it
- Sites where email delivery of a small backup is enough
- Users who have tested a restore and are happy with the result
Look elsewhere if
- Sites that need an actively maintained backup tool
- Large sites, since email delivery has size limits
- Anyone who hasn't tested restoring from a backup
How to install MyThemeShop My WP Backup Pro WordPress Plugin 1.3.12
- 1
Download the file
Open My Account → Downloads and download the product. If the archive contains several zips (documentation, child theme, licensing files), you need the one named after the product.
- 2
Upload it to WordPress
In your dashboard go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin and choose the zip.
- 3
Install and activate
Click Install Now, then Activate. If an older or free copy is already installed, WordPress offers to replace it with the uploaded version.
Notes for this product
- A backup is only safe when a copy lives off your server. Set up Amazon S3 or another remote destination after activating, and test a restore on a staging copy.
Setup: using MyThemeShop My WP Backup Pro WordPress Plugin 1.3.12
- Open the plugin settings. After activating, open My WP Backup Pro from the dashboard menu.
- Choose what to back up. Select the files and database to include.
- Set a schedule. Decide how often backups should run.
- Choose where backups go. Set up email delivery or connect Amazon S3 or another destination.
- Run a manual backup. Start a backup by hand and confirm it arrives.
- Test a restore. Restore the backup on a staging copy, so you know it works before you need it.
Common problems and fixes
Backups fail or time out
- Why it happens
- The server's time or memory limits are too low for the site's size.
- How to fix it
- Ask your host to raise the limits, exclude large folders from the backup, or move to a backup plugin built for bigger sites.
The emailed backup never arrives
- Why it happens
- The file is larger than your mail provider allows, or the message is caught as spam.
- How to fix it
- Use Amazon S3 or another remote destination for anything larger than a small site.
Backups don't run on schedule
- Why it happens
- WordPress's scheduled-task system only runs when someone visits the site, and it may be disabled on your host.
- How to fix it
- Visit the site to trigger it, or set up a real server cron job that calls wp-cron.php regularly.
“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading
- Why it happens
- The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
- How to fix it
- Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.
“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”
- Why it happens
- The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
- How to fix it
- Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.
“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
- Why it happens
- Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
- How to fix it
- Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.
Licence or “updates unavailable” notices
- Why it happens
- The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
- How to fix it
- Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.

Frequently asked questions
Is this file up to date?
No. It dates from July 2017, and the listing says no newer version is available. Test it carefully, or choose an actively maintained alternative.
Where can backups be sent?
By email and to Amazon S3, among other destinations mentioned in the listing.
Can I restore my site from it?
That is what a backup is for, but test a restore on a staging copy before relying on it.
Is email delivery enough?
Only for small sites. Large backups exceed mail size limits, so use a remote destination instead.
