What’s new in UpdraftPlus 1.26.7

Released: 21/Aug/2026

Active installations: 3,000,000

Tested up to WordPress 7.1

SECURITY: Restoration now requires provision of a nonce, and not only the epoch-second timestamp of a backup. This prevents an insider threat in which a previous administrator who has been removed from a site could seek to persuade a logged-in current administrator to follow a link to restore a backup which he had previous knowledge of. Thanks to Jashid Sany for raising this issue (via WPScan).
TWEAK: In UpdraftPlus Premium, for scheduled monthly backups, change the behaviour to backup on the chosen day every month (better matching user expectation).
TWEAK: UpdraftClone no longer supports clones launched with PHP 5.4 or 5.5.

1.26.6 — 23/Jul/2026

FEATURE: Upon plugin deactivation, a popup will appear with data removal options, enabling users to opt-in to deleting saved data.
FIX: “Unattached” media filter lists attached images when no unattached items exist
TWEAK: Added Burst Statistics to TeamUpdraft family admin notices.
TWEAK: Create a better UX for free users around premium remote storage locations
TWEAK: Prefer http_get_last_response_headers() (PHP 8.4+) to avoid PHP 8.5 deprecation warnings for $http_response_header.

1.26.5 — 05/Jun/2026

SECURITY: Previous versions contained a defect allowing sites with an active Migrator key (paid versions only) or UpdraftCentral key (free and paid versions) to have unauthorised operations carried out on them. All users should update immediately.
TWEAK: Added explicit HTTP timeout of 60 seconds to pCloud chunk upload requests to prevent cURL error 28 on slow server connections
TWEAK: Guard curl_close(), finfo_close() and xml_parser_free() calls with a PHP version check to prevent deprecation warnings on PHP 8.5+
TWEAK: Update the bundled common-libs version
TWEAK: Replace all usages of wpdb::esc_like() with UpdraftPlus_Database_Utility::esc_like() across the codebase to maintain consistency.
