6.19.0 Release October 28, 2026

• Enh: Let a backup plan keep up to 30 backups instead of 10. (Pro)
• Ux: Keep the log filters and autoscroll working for a job that runs on the first run page.
• Security: This release includes security hardening. Updating is strongly recommended.
• Fix: A restore no longer gets stuck on "Extracting files" when a backed-up file cannot be written; the file is skipped, logged, and the restore continues.
• Fix: A backup plan launched in the background no longer reports a successful run before its backup exists.
• Fix: A finished background job is no longer reported as failed, and a lost one is reported as failed instead of running forever.
• Fix: The live logs and Cancel button of a running backup stay available after its job metadata expires.
• Fix: The backup queue is no longer purged while a job is running, instead of reporting success while the job continues.
• Fix: Backups are stored in wp-content/wp-staging/data when the uploads folder cannot be written, so the Backup tab loads with external uploads.
• Fix: Unreadable subdirectories are skipped when calculating the backup size instead of crashing with a fatal error.
• Fix: A newly created or reset staging site opens right away instead of showing 'This staging site is not finished yet'.
• Fix: Updating or resetting a staging site on an external database no longer stops with a fatal error when the site has no stored database prefix, and refuses to run when its tables would be the live site's.
• Fix: Activation no longer overwrites a setting in a broken wp_options table and explains how to repair the table first.
• Fix: The LiteSpeed Cache Unique CSS, Critical CSS and image placeholders are cleared after a restore, a push or a new staging site, so the page layout is not broken.
• Fix: A Classic push now stops before the database phase when files fail to copy, instead of reporting success. (Pro)
• Fix: Large backups uploaded to pCloud no longer stay at 99% after the file is on pCloud. (Pro)
• Fix: A wp-config.php with Windows line endings no longer gains a blank line after every line when WP STAGING rewrites it.
• Fix: Resetting a staging site no longer stops when its wp-config.php is read-only on a Windows host.
• Plus 33 more fixes.
