If you haven’t heard about VaultPress yet, go check it out! Basically it’s safety and backup-y goodness for your WordPress installation by the good people of Automattic. I’ve started using VaultPress not too long ago ( it’s still in beta at the time of me writing this post ) and I really enjoy watching it’s progressbars indicating that I’m solid in the case my hosting provider goes down or disappears. At least all my data ( Uploads, Plugins, Themes and Database ) are safely stored in VaultPress and I can be up and running again soon when a hosting disaster strikes. To me this is a must-have if you run a high traffic blog.
One thing thing I missed though was the displaying of the VaultPress backup progress on the frontend of my website. That’s why I decided to build VaultPress Status. VaultPress Status brings your VaultPress backup status to your WordPress Admin Bar. Now you can enjoy that safe and secure feeling straight from the frontend of your website.

Does this plugin work with the toolbar in 3.3? I installed it and didn’t see anything added up there.
Eek! I haven’t had the time to update it yet. I’ll do it some time this week and I’ll send you a heads up through Twitter 🙂
Actually I see it working perfectly in my admin bar in 3.3.1 :S. Could you check again?
Weird, it works fine for one of my sites (WPCandy) but not my other (my personal blog). I’ll have to dig into it further and see what the difference between the two is.
Ghe, how odd. Let me know if it’s anything I might need to change in my plugin. 🙂
I finally figured out what it was, I was still using an old version of the VaultPress plugin (
