BackWPup uses the WordPress Cronjob system (WordPress Cron), to execute scheduled backup jobs. WordPress has no internal clock, so it checks the server time regularly and runs activities that are due. This happens every time someone (or yourself) is browsing your website.
If no one visits your website for some time, it can lead to some trouble with the Cron. In this case, a Cron job on the server needs to be set up, which regularly calls the URL http://yourdomain.com/wp-cron.php.
You can find out easily if the WordPress Cron is working correctly:
- Créez un nouvel article et définissez une date de publication ultérieure. Dix minutes suffisent.
- Log out of WordPress and close your browser window (this is important!).
- After 11 or more minutes, check if your post was published. If not, something is wrong with the WordPress Cron.
