Frequently asked questions
Where is my information stored?
All of the information you enter on a Time Tracker screen is stored in your WordPress database with your website host.
How can I backup my Time Tracker information?
To manually backup your Time Tracker data, go to the Time Tracker Tools page in your WordPress admin area and click the backup button. This will create a backup of your information and place it on your server. (The file will be dated and located in your user’s directory in a folder named ‘tt_logs’.)
