Backup Buddy – Endless pings when trying to bkup
-
Problem occurs when your server has:
“HTTP Loopback Connections Disabled”This solution may prove useful to someone.
Solution:
Add define(‘ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’, true); to your wp-config.php
Open your wp-config.php in a text editor. This file is located in the root of your site.
Add the line somewhere between the first ( <?php ) and last line of the file (but before the line that says /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */)define(‘ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’, true);
Deactivate all other plugins and see if it works then, if so then make sure you don’t have a plugin that may apply a maintenance mode
This is because maintenance mode plugins rarely, if ever, take into account WordPress scheduling crons
