Planned backups of htaccess protected wordpress site

    We have a wordpress site password protected with htaccess. Planned backups don’t work automatically. If we add to the htaccess file the following lines:
    “Allow from IP
    Satisfy all”,
    the automatic backup works properly, but the access restrictions are set aside.
    What do we have to add to the htaccess file to enable automatic backups, but also to restrict access via password protection?

    Hi,

    It’s not just UpdraftPlus – if you .htaccess the site, then none of your scheduled tasks in WordPress (not just the obvious ones like backups, but internal clean-up tasks that WP runs) will not be running. Whilst you have an .htaccess block, the best thing to do is to use the alternative cron method; see here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Editing_wp-config.php#Alternative_Cron . Note that it will still be the case, as with all WordPress scheduled tasks, that no scheduled tasks can run at times when nobody is visiting the site… that’s how the WP scheduler works, and UD (and anything else) sits under that.
