I am having the same issue. I installed ithemes security today and all is well except for the Database-backup. I am getting the following error messages:
Database Backup notification at March 24, 2018 1:50 am: Could not instantiate mail function.
i installed a Check Mail plugin and it shows that WordPress is sending emails fine.
Can anyone suggest how i can rectify this problem?
Thanks,
Don
I’m finding that I can run a one-off manual Database backup, and that reaches email just fine. But yes, like the two above posts, I’m seeing that my 3-day regular email backup stopped around about 11th April, after being in use quite successfully for previous 6 months (every 3 days, as scheduled). Tried disable/enable, and tried to change settings to say every 2 days (anything just to rattle the saved settings)…. No joy yet.
running Version 6.9.2 of iThemes Security Plug-in.

Gary,
Try and add the following line to the wp-config.php file (if it does not already exist):
define('ITSEC_USE_CRON', true);
It may take some days before seeing any results. So be patient 😉
