Works fine. Check to be sure you uploaded all files.

Thank you for your reply swguy. This is very odd. I have re-uploaded the entire package (using the exact same structure) and it still is not showing up under the Tools drop down. I am missing something very, very stupid and simple here.

Remember this is an admin side plugin, all files need to go into the admin directory structure.

Remember when I said "I am missing something really stupid here?" Have you ever had one of those times where you just KNOW that you are overlooking something very simple and then instead of just letting go and coming back to it, you just keep on plugging away at it? Yup, that is what happened here.

Uh, gee, putting it in the ADMIN directory made all of the difference in the world. Geesh, thank you for beating me over the head -- LOL! Much thanks!

Well, I can't remember if I posted to the thread or not, but I *do* remember the "difficulty" I had installing this plugin as my first to ever install... even though things seem pretty straight forward when really reading the instructions and looking at the folder structure, there just was something about it that didn't sink in.

Anyways, hopefully you learned something to apply to the installation of other plugins and at the same time when you see someone else with the same issue, maybe you'll jump in to help them as well.

When I try to backup the database I get the following error?

1 => mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'tennes60_zenc'@'localhost' (using password: YES) when trying to connect

admin/backups has 777 permission

This isn't a filesystem issue, it's an issue connecting to your database. Did you try the latest version of this mod? I tried to handle the case where the password contains shell-expanded characters, which might be what you are running into.

In php7.3 getting this

Warning: "continue" targeting switch is equivalent to "break". Did you mean to use "continue 2"? ... backup_mysql.php on line 518

How to fix?

Change that to a break.

if ($dir_ok == false) break;

Thanks for the info. The warning message gone.
