Can't get the cron job working

    This is the code that the plugin tells me to put in cron scheduler:

    /usr/bin/php /home/aktifpor/public_html/wp-content/plugins/xcloner-backup-and-restore/cloner.cron.php custom_cron_config.php

    I put the code in scheduler and set time to every 5 mins in order to check if it is working but nothing happens. There is no new backup created after 5 mins.

    There is this notification in notes:

    – if your php location is diferent than /usr/bin/php, please use that one, format /$php_path/php

    How do I check if my php location is different?

    Also, is the code which I wrote above generated by the plugin right? Here it is again:

    /usr/bin/php /home/aktifpor/public_html/wp-content/plugins/xcloner-backup-and-restore/cloner.cron.php custom_cron_config.php

    The website I am using the plugin on is:

    Could you please help me resolving this issue? Thanks in advance.

    Ok I got it working. First you have to go to Cron tab in Configuration and enter a random name like mycronconfig or something. Then the code to enter in control panel cron schedule would be:

    php /home/yoursite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/xcloner-backup-and-restore/cloner.cron.php mycronconfig.php

    It doesn’t work before filling in Cron tab with a random name and that’s where I messed up.

    Anyway I am so happy to get it working because this is the best backup/cloning plugin out there. You don’t have to worry for anything (server failure, getting hacked, wp getting messed up because of a bad plugin, etc) as long as this runs on a schedule because you will get everything back exactly the same way with a few clicks.

    Excellent job.
