    What do I do if I get the wp-cron error message?

    The issue is that your wp-cron.php is not returning a 200 response when hit with a http request originating from your own server, it could be several things, most of the time it’s an issue with the server / site and not with BackUpWordPress.

    Some things you can test are.

    Are scheduled posts working? (They use wp-cron too). NO
    Are you hosted on Heart Internet? (wp-cron is known not to work with them). NO
    If you click manual backup does it work? YES, but the date says December 31, 1969 – 8:00 am
    Try adding define( ‘ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’, true ); to yourwp-config.php

    Do automatic backups work? Backups don’t work. I won’t change native WP settings for a plugin, sorry.

    Is your site private (I.E. is it behind some kind of authentication, maintenance plugin, .htaccess) if so wp-cron won’t work until you remove it, if you are and you temporarily remove the authentication, do backups start working? NO

    If you have tried all these then feel free to contact support.

    I’m running WP 3.5.1 hosted on ipage servers.
