Hello,
taht has nothing to do with the mail sending.
Jobs can’t started, because the test can’t call the wp-cron.php.
Did you have installed other Plugins or made changes on the server?
The following plugins are installed. I’m fairly sure some can be removed, but as the site currently works, I’d like to get it backed up before I start trying to streamline it.
(I’m afraid I know nothing about wp-cron.php or php in general.)

I can’t see a plugin that makes troubble.
Pleace ask your hoseter if they have disabled loopback connections for PHP aplications.
Thanks for the help. I’ll see what I can find out.
From what I’ve seen looking at another backup plugin, there may be issues with the particular host (Heart Internet) and WP-cron.php
Hope that helps you too.
The only thin you can do is:
Setup a cronjob on the Hoster or with on external Cron Service that calls domain.tld/wp-cron.php of your WordPress all 5 minutes. Than add in wp-config.php define( 'DISABLE_WP_CRON', true ); (http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Disable_Cron_and_Cron_Timeout)
The WordPress Cron should than Work again. That means the scheduled posts, plugins update checkes and so on will work again.
For BackWPup add define( 'ALTERNATE_WP_CRON', true ); too in wp-config.php. Than BackWPup knows that the normel cron not works and it will try to use some alternatives.
The execution time of jobs can take longer but it will work.
I have just set up your plugin and have checked that it has registered with dropbox – it is and has access according to my dropbox account. I am however getting the following response when I run the backup using WP cron or manual
“The HTTP response test get an error “Failure when receiving data from the peer””
I am running the latest version and now do not know what to do next?
Please help.
Thanks in advance
@andymac9: please use your own topic. That has nothing to do with that discussed above.
