Hello, 

After updating WP to 4.1 my autobackups/Cron jobs stopped working. 

It was working fine but stopped. 

I went into the plugin -> administration -> cron and copied the command to my hosting cron section but there was no change from what was originally there (and working in the past)

I only have 1 cron job.

Any suggestions on what is going on?

I am not receiving any error messages. 

 

My goal is to autobackup my website every Sunday at 2am.

What is the cron command you are using? Usually there is a log output, but you need to check your cron scheduler logs for that.

I went into the plugin -> administration -> cron and copied the command to my hosting cron section 

This is the second half of the command

/public_html/wp-content/plugins/xcloner-backup-and-restore/cloner.cron.php custom_cron_config.php

Does your  hosting service provide a cron log output?

I ended up creating a customized Configuration Name and changed the cron job line to match (replaced the "custom_cron_config.php" with my new file name). 

 

It worked!

 

Thanks!
