    I cannot create a backup of my site with Total Upkeep — I get the error “missing host from DSN string.” I have a premium account. Please advise.

    Hi Christin-

    Thanks for the question, I’m sorry to hear that you’re not able to create a backup.

    The error Missing host from DSN String would seem to imply that Total Upkeep could not find your website’s DB_HOST setting as defined in your wp-config.php file. Most of the time, including on InMotion Hosting servers, this setting should be ‘localhost’. If you check you wp-config.php file using your Host’s File Manager or FTP, you should see a line similar to the following:

    define( 'DB_HOST', 'localhost' );
    

    Double-check that line in your wp-config.php and let us know if you have any questions setting it up as localhost.
