This is further information to Akeeba Backup for WordPress 8.1.0 and how failing to follow our instructions will lead to failure, as already discussed. Moreover, we would like to explicitly state that despite mySites.guru proclaiming that the JSON API in Akeeba Backup for WordPress 8.1.0 is broken they are merely wrong, as they usually are every single time they proclaim such a thing.

We released Akeeba Backup for WordPress 8.1.0. This version needs a manual update. You will not be able to use WordPress' plugin updates or Akeeba Backup's built-in updater to update to it.

We have released Akeeba Backup for WordPress 8.1.0.b1 (Beta 1). We ask our clients to test it as it involves a major migration of the settings and backup archives. The Beta and Release Candidate period will last at least until the end of October 2023. The stable version will be released in November 2023 as long as we have enough feedback from our clients.

Akeeba Backup for WordPress 8 is a major rewrite over version 7. This will let us maintain the software more efficiently in the future. However, we hit some issues with WordPress itself which caused a lot of issues with lost backup profiles and errors during plugin updates.

This was rewritten on October 4th, 2023.
