 * Hi AITpro how’ve you been!
 * I’m wondering if BPS is possibly interfering with the third party backup plugin‘
   BackupBuddy’.
    Do you think BPS is possibly interfering with WP Cron?
 * here is what BackupBuddy tells me about the ‘WP Cron’.

 * Sorry this thread completely slipped my mind mate. I tried your method but it
   didnt work for me so i had to revert it. what did work for me was deactivation
   and reactivating BackupBuddy.
 * Thanks~
