Backup dont start?

Your server settings (.htaccess file) might be blocking wp-cron which is required to start the backup process. You will need to add the following to a .htaccess file in your WordPress root directory:

<Files “wp-cron.php”>
Allow from All
Satisfy Any
</Files>

Thanks

We have done this (me and my friend) but without results ??

Are you using a cache plugin?

I am using W3TC and WordPress Backup to Dropbox 1.4. The backup does not start. Nothing in wpb2d folder.

@michael I’ve added the code that you provided above in .htaccess and tried to backup once again still there is nothing in wpb2d folder ??

I am too using W3TC and WordPress Backup to Dropbox 1.4. Even last version was not working on my site, I was waiting for updates from long time but sadly this version is also not working, please help. This plugin is great option to automate the backup process. I really appreciate your work, thanks in advance.

From what I am hearing W3TC and WPB2D don’t play nicely together and investigating why is now at the top of my TODO list.

I will let you know when I find a solution.

The plugin i got is

Dynamic Widgets Version 1.5.3
WordPress Backup to Dropbox Version 1.4
WP-Cron Oneshot Version 1.0.1
WPJobBoard Version 3.6.0

WordPress 3.4.2.

@michael I just deactivate W3 Total Cache and tried to take backup but still it is not working, don’t know what’s the problem ??

What is your site?

My site: techlila.com

Hello Michael,

I’m using latest version, I’ve added the .htaccess code, deactivate the W3 Total cache, still it shows following when I click start backup:

Backup Log

You have not run a backup yet. When you do you will see a log of it here.

Hi Michael,

Please verify that wp-cron is working by scheduling a post some time in the future and checking it posts.
