 * The scheduled post didn’t publish, it just says ‘Missed schedule’ now so it sounds
   like you’re right. I do have an .htaccess file, with the rewrite rules in it:
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule
   ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * # END WordPress
 * Do I need to change something do you think? Or check the file permissions for
   wp-cron.php?
 * Thanks for your help!

 * No, the automatic back ups aren’t working, but I didn’t use those previously 
   anyway. I just back up manually when I want to normally.
 * Clicking backup and then visiting wp-cron.php did make it back the site up though!
   I’m not sure why, I don’t understand all the workings of WordPress. It also made
   lots of odd comments appear on some of my posts, but I’ve deleted those.

 * I think my problem may well be to do with the fact that I am not using the latest
   version of the Event Calendar plug in. At some point I’m going to try updating
   it, and then allow WordPress to update to 3.0 and see if that works better.
 * Carol – before I updated my WordPress, I took a back up of the whole site. This
   is always good practice before updating a plug in or WordPress. When I found 
   it had broken something, I copied the backed-up version of my site up onto the
   server over the top of the existing files, and this undid the changes. If you
   haven’t got a back up of your site, I’m sorry I don’t know how you could restore
   your old version of WordPress easily.
