I took a backup of my site prior to upgrading to v8.0 of Akeeba Backup Pro. I then updated by uploading the plugin zip file over the top of the 7.9.1 Pro plugin in the WordPress plugins screen. After doing so, Akeeba took me to a configuration window when I went to the admin back-end, where I was then asked to "configure" Akeeba. Clicking this took me to a page where it just sat for about 1 hour doing nothing. When I try to go to Akeeba's admin page again, I just get a white screen. If I clear my browser cache and try again, I get to the main Akeeba screen where it tells me that it is not configured properly, that it is using the default backup path.

I have setup a php script at https://www.deepskyvineyard.com/craig.php that will display phpinfo for you if that will be helpful in anyway...?

I don't know what else to do...

So upon further troubleshooting, it appears that Wordfence did not like some updates? I am not sure whether it was updating my php version to 8.1 from 7.4 or the Elementor plugin, Jupiter X Core, Akeeba to 8.0, or a combination of all or what...but I have had to completely manually remove Wordfence, delete db tables, tweak .htaccess and suddenly all seems to be working? Though I am having to reconfigure my backup profiles as my Google Drive config did not stick.

I do still see the "newer version" message after everything is up and running. Should this have gone away? I did successfully execute a backup and it was pushed into our Google Drive location, so I call that a win! I am going to attempt to install Wordfence once again...wish me luck!
