Akeeba Backup for WordPress 9.1.7 Stable

Released on: 2026-06-17 22:48 CDT

This release includes two important bug fixes and two notable changes.

BackBlaze B2 v4 API. BackBlaze has released version 4 of their B2 cloud storage API and deprecated the older versions. This release updates the integration to use the v4 API, ensuring continued compatibility with BackBlaze B2 as a remote storage destination.

File scanner compatibility (OVH and similar hosts). The Site Transfer Wizard places a kickstart.txt file on the remote server. Certain broken server-side file scanners, including OVH's, incorrectly flag this file as malicious content and quarantine or delete it, causing the wizard to fail. This release obfuscates the file so it is no longer misidentified.

Bug fix: Site Transfer Wizard was not working. A regression caused the Site Transfer Wizard to fail entirely. This has been fixed.

Bug fix: DirectFTP erroneous directory permissions. DirectFTP was setting incorrect permissions on remote directories, which could cause backup transfers to fail. This has been fixed.
