Install
No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:
wp plugin install https://github.com/zinn-digital/zinn-backups/archive/refs/heads/main.zipShips its own WordPress updater (Update URI header), so new versions show up under Dashboard → Updates.
Back up files and database to your own Dropbox, Google Drive, R2 or S3, restore safely, and import backups from other plugins.
Built and maintained by Neil Lock — CEO, Zinn Digital® Ltd — https://zinndigital.com
Download
- Download the latest version from zinndigital.com — always current, no account needed.
- Or take the zip from Releases here on GitHub.
Both are the same file. The download page is the canonical one: it is served from our own infrastructure and is what the plugin's own updater checks against.
Zinn® Backups Pro
The add-on for Zinn® Backups: several storage destinations at once, scheduled and incremental backups, retention rules, encryption with your own passphrase, deploying a backup to another site with a one-time code, e-mail notices and white label.
Everything in Zinn® Backups keeps working without it.

Our other WordPress plugins
- zinn-cache — A page cache and a Redis object cache for any WordPress site: the LiteSpeed server cache where there is one and its own disk cache everywhere else, smart auto-purge and a Redis cache that proves it works. Zinn® Cache Pro is an add-on on top of it. · Install from WordPress.org
- zinn-chat — A complete help desk and AI assistant that runs on your own WordPress: answers visitors from your own pages with links using your own AI key, live chat with a multi-chat inbox, and support tickets in wp-admin, on a submit-a-ticket page and in the WooCommerce account area. Under 10 KB on the page, and no requests at all until a visitor opens it.
- zinn-connector — Connect any WordPress site to Zinn Digital® so scheduled articles publish to it. Pair with a code from your dashboard. · Install from WordPress.org
- zinn-migrate — Install it on the WordPress site you are LEAVING. It packages that site — files and database — into one archive and gives you a private link to paste into your Zinn Digital® migration. For hosts that give you no FTP, no SSH and no control-panel API; if you have any of those, Zinn® can fetch the site directly and you do not need this.
- zinn-offload — Move a WordPress media library to Zinn® object storage and serve it from a CDN. Configured from the Zinn® dashboard — no access key is ever typed into WordPress. · Install from WordPress.org
- zinn-reseller — Sell Zinn Digital® hosting from your own WordPress site — domain search, one-click client sign-in, and WooCommerce provisioning. · Install from WordPress.org
- zinn-translate — Publish a WordPress site in 58 languages on their own web addresses — translated slugs, SEO metadata, menus, WooCommerce and hreflang — translated with a Zinn Digital® plan or the site owner's own provider key. · Install from WordPress.org
All of them are free to download from https://zinndigital.com/wordpress-plugins.
Languages
This plugin ships complete translations for 57 languages — every label, notice, error and setting it adds to your admin, not a subset. The catalogues are bundled, so they work as soon as you set your site language; there is no separate language pack to install.
5 of them are right-to-left (ar, fa_IR, he_IL, ps, ur) and every screen this plugin adds was rendered in a real WordPress install in each of those languages and checked.
The full list of languages is in readme.txt under Translations. languages/ holds the .pot template plus a .po, .mo and .l10n.php for every language, so corrections and new languages can be contributed directly.
