In a Marketplace thread titled ‘Discourse backups not working - looking for someone who can fix it,’ Sukenik reports that the backup download interface disappeared suddenly this month — no buttons, no direct downloads, and email notifications for backups have also stopped. deepvyas suggests checking server folder permissions and reviewing logs before hiring help. Sukenik clarifies that the issue is interface-related, not server-side. itsbhanusharma suspects a plugin or theme incompatibility. Sukenik confirms the problem began abruptly after years of working fine. Finally, pfaffman identifies the root cause: custom CSS added to the theme accidentally hid both the backup section and theme pages. The fix likely involves editing or removing the problematic CSS.
I have a Discourse forum where the option to download backups suddenly disappeared. The entire section where you can download the file is gone. At the same time, each time I requested to download a back up, the download link was e-mailed to me. Now this no longer happens.
If possible, I would like to fix it back to the former state.
At the same time, I would like to ask if someone would be able to automate the backups, so that a backup file is sent to my e-mail every day.
Please get back to me. I don’t know how much people normally charge for something like this.
