next time my WordPress looks somehow damaged or corrupt: get the backups over to my NAS immediately
A week later of the relevant sane backups already got removed. This is, where my backups get stored in my home directory on my provider’s host: …/wp/wp-content/uploads/backwpup-*-backups/ On my NAS in the “right” directory I already left a README with the rsync instructions. Last time (when an insane plugin removed lots of categories from articles)…

I let “Git Gui” AKA git-gui (on cygwin) “Compress Database”, and the database was corrupt then
https://git-scm.com/docs/git-gui The differences between the master and the local copy were not big enough, so I resorted to re-cloning: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8271263/repair-corrupted-git-repository – I actually followed Niel de Wet’s advice (https://stackoverflow.com/users/297331/niel-de-wet) and “I simply replaced the .git folder in the broken repo with the one I recloned“

WordPress 4.9 and its “Press This” plugin and bookmarklet (version 1.1.*)
https://wordpress.org/plugins/press-this https://github.com/WordPress/press-this/releases/tag/1.1.1 – “Restored Bookmarklet” (that’s what the Git tag note says) https://github.com/WordPress/press-this/releases/tag/1.1.0 – “Restored Bookmarklet” (that’s what the Git tag note says) https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-transition-1-1-0-1-1-1-makes-me-happy-again/ – I posted this to express my gratitude (not sure, this will help anybody) WordPress 4.9 removed the bookmarklet functionality of “Press This“. That caused a lot of frustration and anger and fuzz. That’s…

WordPress and “Press This Restored!” (obsolete!!!)
https://wordpress.org/plugins/press-this/ – 2017-11-29: version 1.1.1 seems to re-establish all the old and expected bookmarklet functionality – I guess this makes lots of people happy again https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-transition-1-1-0-1-1-1-makes-me-happy-again/ – I posted this to express my gratitude (not sure, this will help anybody) As of 2017-11-29 outdated information: https://woodalldesign.net/press-this-restored/ After upgrading my WordPress installation to 4.9, the “Press This!” bookmarklets…

my WordPress back-up system (“BackWPup”) gets triggered 2 or 3 times for a single daily back-up job
https://wordpress.org/plugins/backwpup/ https://backwpup.com/docs/starting-backup-job-immediately-or-scheduled/ So far I have been using the “WordPress cron” approach.

in the middle of upgrading my WordPress installation I exceeded my disk quota and I only saw “HTTP ERROR 500” from then on
I got my friendly provider to increase my disk quota by “a little” for a couple of days – actually I was granted 300M for like 3 days https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/tips-tricks/how-to-fix-the-500-internal-server-error-on-your-wordpress-website – following this web page I moved the wp-admin and wp-includes from a fresh version of WordPress to my installation directory (actually after moving my old ones…
