Under BackWPup Settings -> Jobs
there is a “Reduce Server Load” setting.
I enabled that feature and my host seemed satisfied afterwards that I wasn’t hogging the server resources anymore and haven’t disabled my script thus causing the 404 error.

The 404 error that I was getting was because of a permissions issue. I first noticed there were messages in my cPanel error log that mention insufficient permissions. My hosting company had blocked access wp-cron.php because:

“Your script /home/myusername/public_html/mydomainname.com/wp-cron.php was causing extremely high processing on MYSHAREDSERVERNAME :

As such, the script has been renamed as /home/myusername/public_html/mydomainname.com/wp-cron.php_contact.support. This means that the script is no longer accessible and cannot use up the resources on the server. Please let us know what changes you will be making to correct this issue. If you are using plugins for Word Press or Joomla, we ask that you check them for available updates.”

So, I’m still thinking this is a backwpup issue.
Anyone have any thoughts on narrowing it down or coming up with a solution other than trying a different backup plugin?

Just an FYI to follow up on my previous post in case it somehow relates to your issues.

Since I’m assuming now this is a different issue then you are having I’ll stop hijacking your thread….

Not sure if this is the same issue others are having, but apparently the 404 error that I was getting was because of a permissions issue. I first noticed there were messages in my cPanel error log that mention insufficient permissions. My hosting company had blocked access wp-cron.php because:

I deactivated the plugin and uninstalled it. Then re-added the plugin and created a new backup job.
Still got the same error.
I thought it was worth a shot…… ??

I get a similar error.
“The HTTP response test get a false http status (404)”

While I have the plugin running successfully on several sites, I have two sites that give this error.

Any idea what would cause it?

I’m running the plugin on 9 sites. 7 work fine. 2 are now giving “The HTTP response test get a false http status (404)” error.
Sorry I don’t have anything to add to a resolution, but I’m leaving a comment so that I can follow this thread in case a resolution is posted.

Any resolution to this? I’m getting the same thing on two of my sites even though its working fine on several others.

Thank you very much for the response!

When I look at the wp-config.php files, the database name is actually the same for both (DBase11), however for My1stSite.com/MyBlog the table_prefix shows “pre1” and for My2ndSite.com the table_prefix is “pre2”.

If I go to phpMyAdmin and look at DBase11, all of the tables have a prefix of “pre2”.

I’ve never removed a WP install before but after reading a few posts online I would be more comfortable doing a manual uninstall rather than running the Fantastico script since I’m concerned that it may not remove it correctly. (Recall that Softaculous gave a different database name for my 2nd site.)

– Is it common to remove the WP install and the Database in separate steps?
– Should I be safe to go ahead and delete DBase22 since it is not used by either WP install? (Should that be done through MySQLDatabases? phpMyAdmin?)
– Do I remove the WP install by just deleting the full My1stSite.com/Myblog directory? Or is it more complex than that?

Thanks again.

Hey! I have my website set up showing just the teaser excerpts on the front page- how do I adjust how many teasers will be shown and what is the default number of posts? Thank you in advance!!

Just following up on my last post.

I deactivated *every* plugin and the behavior of the tag cloud stays the same:
If I use the default permalinks then the tag cloud works fine but if I try to use other versions of the permalinks then all of my tag cloud links just point to my homepage.

Thanks again. No luck yet but I appreciate the advice.

I changed to Twenty Eleven (which I think is the default theme right?). I still had the same behavior.

I deactivated any plugin that I thought had anything to do with links (and most of the rest of them too) but nothing has changed yet. I’ll keep trying later this evening.

Thanks for the reply.

Hmmm. Well you’re definitely on to something!

When I changed it back to the default, then the tag cloud works.

But, when I try to change it to the setting that I have been using “Month and Name”, or just “Post Name” then its still broken.

Does the above behavior give you any better idea where the issue may be?
