ማብራሪያ
Yedekalma is a free backup plugin that takes a one-click backup of your entire site — files and database — and restores it again from the same screen. It also migrates your site to a new host or domain and scans it for malware.
Everything runs on your own server. No account, no sign-up and no API key: install, activate, click Take Backup. Your backup archives stay on your hosting, and you can download them as a ZIP at any time.
Backup
- Full backup — every file (themes, plugins, uploads) plus the complete database.
- Database backup — MySQL dump only, gzip compressed (
.sql.gz) for large sites. - Files backup — site files only, without the database.
- Works on shared hosting — chunked, time-sliced backup that finishes even when
exec()is disabled and PHP limits are strict. - Incremental backup — compares real file modification times, so a changed file is never skipped.
- Safe storage — local backups live in a hardened, non-browsable folder with unguessable file names.
Restore
- One-click restore of the database, plugins, themes and uploads straight from your dashboard.
- Restore from an archive you already have — drag & drop a
.zip,.sqlor.sql.gzfile and restore from it. - Integrity checked — a truncated or corrupt archive is refused instead of half-applied, so a bad file can never damage a working site.
- SHA-256 verification of every archive before a restore begins.
Migration
- Move your site to a new host — download the backup, install Yedekalma on the target server and restore.
- Change domain safely — site URL and home URL are rewritten in the database automatically during the restore.
- New database server —
wp-config.phpcredentials can be updated as part of a restore.
Malware scanner
- Security scan of PHP, JS and configuration files across WordPress core, your plugins and the active theme.
- Detects code injections, web shells and backdoors using malicious-pattern matching.
- Persistent results — the scan report survives page reloads, so you can review it whenever you like.
- Bulk clean — select detected files and delete them in one click.
- Core protection — WordPress core files are shielded from accidental deletion while planted files can still be removed.
Optional cloud service
Local backup, restore, migration and the malware scanner are complete on their own and never contact an external server. If you also want off-site copies, you can connect the optional Yedekalma cloud service (see External services below) to:
- Stream backups to your own Google Drive, Amazon S3, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, Dropbox, OneDrive or FTP/SFTP storage.
- Run scheduled automatic backups daily or weekly with retention rules.
- Encrypt archives with client-side AES-256 (BYOK) before they leave your server — the passphrase never leaves your site.
Languages
Yedekalma ships with English, Turkish (Türkçe), German, Russian and Arabic translations.
External services
This plugin can optionally connect to the Yedekalma cloud service (an external SaaS) to perform off-site backup and restore operations, package backups for delivery to your own cloud storage, check subscription state, and monitor backup quota. This connection only happens if you choose to use the cloud service (by entering an API token, by clicking the optional “Connect with Google” button, or by clicking the optional “register this site” button described below); the plugin’s local backup, restore, migration and malware-scanner features work with no external connection at all.
- Service URL: https://yedekalma.com
- Terms of Service: https://yedekalma.com/legal
- Privacy Policy: https://yedekalma.com/legal#privacy
- Connect with Google (opt-in): The dashboard shows an optional “Connect with Google” button. It does nothing unless you click it. If you click it, your browser is sent to https://yedekalma.com where you sign in with Google; Yedekalma then creates or finds your account from your Google e-mail address and links this site (identified by its Site URL) to it. Only your e-mail address and the Site URL are used for this; no Google Drive or other Google data permission is requested, and no site content is sent. A one-time connection token is returned to your site and stored encrypted locally.
- Optional site registration (opt-in): The dashboard also shows an optional “register this site with Yedekalma” button. It does nothing unless you click it. If you click it, the plugin sends only your Site URL and technical version info (plugin, WordPress, PHP version and locale) to https://yedekalma.com so the site can be listed in your Yedekalma panel; no site content or personal data is sent. If you also enter a notification e-mail, that address and your marketing-consent choice are sent as well. You can ignore the button entirely and every built-in feature still works.
- Data Transmission: When connected (or after opt-in registration), the plugin sends requests to the Yedekalma API containing your Site URL, active plugin features, backup metadata (such as file lists, sizes, and checksums), and your API token (or anonymous install id) to perform secure backup and restore tasks.
መጫን

Manual installation: upload the yedekalma folder to /wp-content/plugins/ and activate it from the Plugins screen.
የተለመዱ ጥያቄዎች
-
Is this backup plugin free?
-
Yes. Backup, restore, migration and the malware scanner are fully functional with no account and no payment. The optional Yedekalma cloud service adds off-site storage and has a free tier.
-
How do I back up my WordPress database?
-
Open Yedekalma Dashboard, click Take Backup and choose Database Only. You get a compressed MySQL dump (
.sql.gz) that you can download or restore later. -
Can I use it to migrate my site to a new host or domain?
-
Yes. Take a full backup, download the ZIP, install Yedekalma on the target site and restore the archive there. The site URL and home URL in the database are updated for the new domain automatically.
-
Yes. Backups run in time-sliced chunks and do not need
exec(), shell access or MySQL credentials, so they finish on hosts with low execution-time and memory limits. -
Where are my backups stored?
-
In
wp-content/uploads/yedekalma-backups/on your own server. The folder is protected from directory browsing and the archive names include a random token, so nobody can guess the URL. If you connect optional cloud storage, backups go to your own Google Drive, S3 or FTP account instead. -
How does the malware scanner work?
-
It scans PHP, JS and configuration files in WordPress core, your plugins and the active theme for malicious patterns, code injections, web shells and backdoors. Results are saved so you can review them later, and you can delete detected files in bulk. Core WordPress files are protected from deletion.
-
What happens to my backups if I delete the plugin?
-
Nothing. Local archives under
wp-content/uploads/yedekalma-backups/stay where they are unless you remove them yourself, and anything in your own cloud storage stays there too. -
Türkçe destekliyor mu?
-
Evet. Yedekalma tamamen Türkçe arayüze sahiptir: site yedekleme, veritabanı yedekleme, yedekten geri yükleme, site taşıma ve virüs/zararlı yazılım taraması işlemlerinin tümünü Türkçe olarak yapabilirsiniz.
-
Is Multisite supported?
-
Not in version 1 — a separate plugin instance per site is required. Full Multisite support is on the roadmap.
-
Is it GDPR / KVKK compliant?
-
Yes. The plugin makes no external connection at all unless you deliberately connect the optional cloud service, and explicit consent is collected for that data transfer.

Changelog
For the full history of older releases, see changelog.txt in the plugin folder.
1.14.0 — 2026-07-27
- NEW: Manual backups now run in the background on your own server — start a backup, then leave the page or switch menus and it keeps going; it automatically resumes tracking when you return, and shows a confirmation dialog and jumps to the Backups page when finished.
- NEW: Backups on disk are auto-recovered — if a backup file exists in your uploads folder but is missing from the list, it is detected and re-added so it stays visible and restorable.
- IMPROVED: Restore now only offers the sections your backup actually contains (a database-only backup offers only “Database”, etc.).
- IMPROVED: “Yedekalma Pro” screen clearly reflects that it is the Yedekalma (yedekalma.com) cloud service; its Files/Database/E-mail tabs stay inactive until you connect. Database and e-mail sections now let you auto-discover accounts and test the connection before saving; the exclude-folder browser also lists files.
- IMPROVED: Admin pages no longer hang when your host blocks outbound connections to yedekalma.com (short timeouts + graceful fallback).
- Various UI polish and fixes.
1.13.0 — 2026-07-27
- NEW: S3-compatible storage as a Yedekalma Pro target — Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, Cloudflare R2, MinIO. Enter endpoint/region/bucket/access key/secret key; scheduled backups are uploaded straight from your server via a client-side SigV4 presigned PUT. Secret key is AES-256 encrypted on your own site and never sent to Yedekalma (zero-data).
1.12.0 — 2026-07-25
- NEW: “Yedekalma Pro” menu — Connection, Backup Content (files/database/e-mail components, browsable exclude-folder tree, client-side AES-256 passphrase), Storage Target (your own FTP/SFTP, credentials encrypted on your own site) and Scheduling (WP-Cron). E-mail is backed up over IMAP as .eml files. Zero data kept on Yedekalma; backups go straight from your server to your own storage.
- NEW: “Connect with Google” button on the dashboard (opt-in). One click links the site to your Yedekalma account via Google sign-in in your browser, so it works even on hosts that block the web server’s outbound connections. Only your e-mail (for the account) and the Site URL are used; no Google Drive permission is requested. See External services.
- NEW: Optional “register this site with Yedekalma” button on the dashboard (opt-in). Clicking it lists your site in your Yedekalma panel using only the Site URL and technical version info — no site content or personal data. It is entirely optional; every built-in feature works without it. See External services.
- SECURITY: Restore-time database search-replace now unserializes option values with
allowed_classes => false, so a crafted serialized payload inside a restored row can never trigger PHP object injection. - SECURITY: Upload-limit raising (runtime ini and the optional
.user.iniline) now runs only on the plugin’s own screens and AJAX endpoints instead of on every wp-admin request, following least-privilege and avoiding unnecessary global PHP-config changes. - HARDENING: Output-escaping pass for strict WordPress.org late-escaping compliance (admin backup-limit notice and the CLI cron hint now escape their dynamic values); bulk threat-removal input is now unslashed and string-cast before validation.
1.11.7 — 2026-07-22
- I18N: Completed the English, German, Russian and Arabic interface translations. 69 strings — confirmation dialogs, error messages, progress text and settings labels — previously fell back to the Turkish source text. All five bundled languages are now at 100%.
- I18N: The plugin name and description shown on the Plugins screen are now translatable.
1.11.6 — 2026-07-21
- DOCS: Rewrote the plugin description, feature list and FAQ.
- ASSETS: Added plugin directory icon and banner images.
1.11.5 — 2026-07-21
- FIX: Responsive threat table layout. Adjusted column widths and increased action column width to 110px so the protected shield badges fit cleanly without horizontal overflow.
1.11.4 — 2026-07-21
- FEATURE: Finalized malware scanner enhancements, core protection filters, and uninstall cleanup logic.
1.11.3 — 2026-07-20
- FEATURE: Custom malware scan protection layout. Integrated granular, detailed reasons for critical files (wp-config.php, active theme assets, root boot scripts, drop-ins, and admin/includes core files) to protect them from deletion, while still allowing the deletion of planted non-core exploits.
1.11.2 — 2026-07-20
- FIX: Robust option structure mapping. Hardened list rendering and DB option cleanup to support both array and object elements, preventing PHP type-error crashes on page loads and threat file deletions.
1.11.1 — 2026-07-20
- FIX: WordPress core protection. Added a strict safety check to prevent accidental deletion of critical WordPress files (such as files inside wp-admin, wp-includes, wp-config.php, index.php, etc.) via the malware scanner deletion tool.
1.11.0 — 2026-07-20
- NEW: Built-in Malware & Virus Scanner. Scan all PHP, JS, and configuration files for code injections, web shells, backdoors, and malicious patterns.
- NEW: Persistent Scan Results. Scanner results are securely saved on your site so they persist across page refreshes.
- NEW: Bulk Actions. Select all or specific detected threat files and delete them collectively with one click.
- NEW: Security Reminders. Contextual security notices recommend taking a virus scan before taking backups or restoring a backup.
1.10.4 — 2026-07-20
- NEW: Added drag-and-drop local backup file upload zone (.zip, .sql, .sql.gz) with real-time progress bar.
- FIX: Fixed critical bug where restored backups disappeared from the list due to options database caching.
- FIX: Fixed settings loss on restore by correcting options key preservation to ‘yedekalma_settings’.
