What is Bluehost Server Credentials for Jetpack to Restore Backup

For Jetpack to restore my Bluehost website VIDEOLANE.COM quickly, it is asking me to provide my SSH, SFTP, or FTP server credentials.

- Credential Type

- Server Address and Port Number

- WordPress Installation Path

"Set up your server credentials to get back online quickly... Add SSH, SFTP, or FTP credentials to enable one-click site restores."

Selecting Enable Restores brings me to…

Tapping on Bluehost…

Here is the Jetpack instruction page… https://jetpack.com/support/backup/credentials-instructions-from-popular-hosts/

For Bluehost, it says …

Bluehost: SSH/SFTP, FTP
- Bluehost includes FTP access automatically. You can use your Bluehost account username and password. The server address should be your domain name.
- SSH access is disabled by default. Follow these steps to enable it.

I found my server, user name, and password in my old email when I ordered the Bluehost WordPress Managed Hosting… but I’m missing the WordPress installation path…

It says...

"We looked for `wp-config.php` in the WordPress installation path you provided but couldn't find it.

...could not find WordPress files in given path `/public_html/` [invalid_wordpress_path, 422]

...We can't read your WordPress installation directory. Please make sure the file path is correct."

So I contacted Bluehost Support...

The support tech couldn't fix the issue and escalated the issue to the server specialist and asked them to contact me via email.

A few minutes later, i received an email from Jetpack saying that the latest backup did not completed successfully.

About 6 hours later, I received an email with a set of credentials that look like the same ones I used.

Anyway, let's give it a try. They may have tweaked something inside.

True enough it still does not work.

I replied to the email with some screenshots.

They replied and suggested I use SSH/SFTP and /public_html without the / at the end.

Still does not work.

The next day, another support staff emailed me saying I misspelled my user name and was very confident he solved the problem by asking me to rate his service.

Lo and behold... it didn't work.

This time I cannot even log in to the server.

I emailed the screenshot again, this time with my password visible.

I requested them to try logging in on my behalf with the password.

The funny thing is... I got a reply saying... "...we would request you to please give us the credentials to access the WordPress.com account... so we will be able to connect and replicate the issue and would surely try our best to get to the root of this and resolve it for you."

At the same time... it says ... "I have resynced the password on this account on my end, please do give it another try..."

Let me give it another try.

It works!

Finally, this is what I see...

The story ends.

Macbook Air M1 Case

I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee @Adrian Video Image The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.

Sony Vegas Pro 8 makes it easier to edit videos from different cameras right from the timeline. You can capture and edit video for a single scene from 2 or more cameras or for a single scene shot a few times with one camera. Here is a tutorial of a Multicamera Edit of a drama I shot. The drama was acted out four times to the public and being a non-profit organization, the client have budget only for one videographer. For each of the 4 acts, the camcorder (Sony HDR-FX7 High Definition Camcorder) was placed at 4 different positions and shot in various angles. Multicamera edit is accomplished in only 8 steps with the Sony Vegas Pro 8. Step #1: Capture Multicamera Video Clips Use the normal Sony Vegas Video Capture function to capture recordings from each camera. Give each capture filename a unique name. Enable scene detection before capturing so that each segment is captured as a separate clip. Step #2 : Layout Video Clips on Timeline Drag and drop video clips over each other on the...

FCPX - The storage device "Macintosh HD" is almost full

The message "The storage device Macintosh HD is almost full" appeared when I was editing a video with Final Cut Pro X on my new Apple Macbook Air M1. Final Cut Pro Taking up Too Much Space My Macbook Air M1 had only 256GB of storage onboard. My raw footage was only about 9GB. The biggest file was the FCPX project files itself at about 140GB! How did 9GB become 140GB? There is not enough disk space for my Final Cut Pro. Why Is Final Cut Pro Taking up So Much Storage Final Cut Pro renders files in high-quality media so that we can playback our edits smoothly direct from the timeline. It creates multiple HUGE high-quality files of our footage in the background. It is a good thing, so as to maintain high-quality final edited video, BUT not a good thing for a laptop with only 256GB. How to Clear Disk Space on Final Cut Pro The question is how to delete the rendered files in FCPX? 1. Select the library in FCPX... 2. Go to Files > Delete Generated L...
