I was struggling with this for a week. Now found a solution here –
https://updraftplus.com/faqs/my-scheduled-backups-do-nothing-backup-now-stops-midway/

I used this option –
Loopback connections are not working?

Some web hosting providers (one big one: Heart Internet) purposefully (though for no good reason) disable the “loop-back” connects that allows WordPress to run its scheduler. This is also the case if your website is password-protected. If loopback connections are not working (whether deliberately disabled or not), you can try this use WordPress’s alternative scheduling system – instructions here. The instructions amount to one thing: add a line anywhere in the middle of your wp-config.php file as follows (don’t add it too late in the file, or it will take no effect):

define(‘ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’, true);

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot.

Thank you. I am not well versed with the technical aspect as i am not a web developer. I added your plugin to the wordpress in customiser and header. The theme has grey font color with small size which could not be legible, hence raised this query. My website is chilume.com Best, Kishore.

Thanks.

Hi Samuel Wood. The solution you provided helped me eliminate the error being displayed in the website. However the new posts are not published. I have scheduled posts, the newer posts are not to be seen.

I refreshed my browser, tried to access the site from my mobile, but still does not see the latest post. Please guide.

Regards

Thank you. It worked for me.
