    Hi,

    I have WP cron disabled in WordPress:

    define(‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, true);

    Instead, I enabled WP Cron in my hosting to run every 30 minutes.

    In one of your articles, you mentioned that when WP Cron is disabled in WordPress, even Backup Now won’t work until WP Cron runs from the server (every 30 minutes), but in my case Backup Now works immediately after I call it. Do you have any idea why?

    Hi,

    What’s the URL of that page? It’s out-of-date. Backup Now will work without WP-Cron as long as it can all finish in a single go without needing to resume.

    Thank you. I’m struggling to see where the article says that? The article looks like it is accurate to me – “In the case of a “Backup Now” backup, it is the case where the backup starts, but after stopping never starts going again. (You can tell this by reading your log file and seeing if the last lines begin with (0) or if there are any with other numbers. (Leave it for 10 minutes with nothing happening before checking this, as resumptions do not occur until a few minutes later)).”

    I was mainly referring to section 3 of the article called “Is your scheduler explicitly disabled?”

    It says: “No backups, even those scheduled with “Backup Now” will run until the time that you have set the scheduler system to be called.”

    Thank you very much! I’ve have corrected that line now, bringing into line with the rest of the article.
