Tags: admin backup backup-stuck work-around
(Came from Community forum thread: http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-7827393/backup-stuck-at-queued-for-processing#post-4741141 )
Thanks to user Zinnia_Zirconium to find this possibility!
A Status
When your started backup is never ending on the site admin panel ( stuck at "queued for processing") than there is a short help to cancel the waiting backup:
B Try running
WIKIDOT.modules.ManageSiteBackupModule.listeners.deleteBackup()in Developer Tools Console (F12 in Chrome/Firefox/Edge).
C My try
Wow, thanks for that little module - it worked in Firefox Console well and deleted the waiting old backup entry !
- Status:Completed
- Date completed: 7 Aug 2020, 09:09
- Backup file size: 20.21 MB
Good to know that the queue was full/blocked and not cleared !
edit: it is a good idea not to copy the spaces at the begin or end with the command-line… ( happened for me and created syntax errors..)
D Question
I am relatively new to Wikidot. Where is 'Developer Tools Console"?
E Description
Developer tool has nothing to do with wikidot, but with the "browser"
I did the following:
- copied from the mail above the wikidot command without leading/trailing spaces !)
- went to my admin screen - security - backup ( with the waiting backup) ,
- in Firefox on this screen I pressed F12 ( starting Web developer tool) - Console
- inserted the copied text in the filter of the console
- inserted the copied text in the new line >> down under this filter - and clicked enter
- There was a warning from Firefox that I want to insert something in the code of the site … I had to enter (in german) "Einfügen erlauben" ( in english something like "allow insertion"
and - voila - the waiting backup was removed and all free to start a new backup.
This has helped some people to start and get a new backup of their site.
I have no idea if the queue was ( or is till today) blocked , but not erased.
