I don’t recognise ‘comment_subscribe_option’. It is probably from one of your other WP plugins you have. You do need both source and target to have the same items.

Maybe it’ll be easier to start the forum as a new install and not import that old topics, don’t want to but it might be easier.

When I’ve installed a new WP I’ve done it through my Cpanel and it was supposed to have been in a new directory called new, but I can’t see.

Would I be better manually installing WP on my server in it’s own directory??

these things have to be your choice. if you are really going to start again – and that seems a little harsh really – then don’t forget whatever you choose will become part of your site url…

I would really like to move the forum over mind if I can get WP to schedule again, it would help in a lot of ways.  It’s just getting it to work.

Looks like it might be unpublished blog post specific but I will keep my fingers crossed.

It only works with scheduled posts and pages, not the stats on SP, but hay ho, it’s solved one problem for now.

That was my impression. And of course it bypasses the normal (but in your case non-functional) wp scheduler.

I have just added a WP backup plugin to my WP and it has detected the WP cron fault, so I have gone to their FAQ and this is what they have said.

What do I do if I get the wp-cron error message

The issue is that your

wp-cron.php

is not returning a

200

response when hit with a http request originating from your own server, it could be several things, most of the time it’s an issue with the server / site and not with BackUpWordPress.

Some things you can test are.

  • Are scheduled posts working? (They use wp-cron too).
  • Are you hosted on Heart Internet? (wp-cron is known not to work with them).
  • If you click manual backup does it work?
  • Try adding
    define( ‘ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’, true ); to your

    wp-config.php`, do automatic backups work?

  • Is your site private (I.E. is it behind some kind of authentication, maintenance plugin, .htaccess) if so wp-cron won’t work until you remove it, if you are and you temporarily remove the authentication, do backups start working?

If you have tried all these then feel free to contact support.

How to get BackUpWordPress working in Heart Internet

The script to be entered into the Heart Internet cPanel is:

/usr/bin/php5 /problem-with-post-edit-buttonome/sites/yourdomain.com/public_html/wp-cron.php

(note the space between php5 and the location of the file). The file

wp-cron.php
chmod

must be set to

711

.

 

Guess what, I’m hosted with Heart….just my luck.  Can anybody help me with where I put this script above, I know I have to go to my wp-cron.php, do I just copy and paste and drop it in there anywhere???.  I have changed the chmod that was easy.

I have 2 domains, and it’s the 2nd domain I have my wp on, so do I do

/usr/bin/php5 /problem-with-post-edit-buttonome/sites/yourdomain.com/public_html/<span style="color: #ff0000;">2nd domainname.com</span>/wp-cron.php

Or do I just have to change the chmod and I’m done…sorry for being so silly…I’ve read it and re read it, and now I’m thinking I just change the chmod and nothing else.  HELP

I have no idea really. the phrase ‘The script to be entered into the Heart Internet cPanel is:’ is – by itself – meaningless so you may be right. Althouuygn I fail to see why this should allow it to work as such. No doubt you will find out.

I’ve had my host check my cron jobs and this is what they have said, but it’s gobble d gook to me, I don’t know where to go from here, any ideas what to go back to them with.

I have tested the cron and it appears to be working correctly on our system as it is outputting the following:

PHP Warning: _() expects exactly 1 parameter, 2 given in /problem-with-post-edit-buttonome/sites/crossstitchstash.co.uk/public_html/chatterboxstitchers.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/cubepoints/modules/donate/do nate.php on line 165

X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.17

Set-Cookie: quick_chat_alias=Guest_77; path=/

Content-type: text/problem-with-post-edit-buttontml

Other than the error the cron ran correctly so any issues you are having would likely be due to the script offered by WordPress. If you have any questions please feel to ask.

Well the ‘error’ above is actually a warning from your Cubepoints plugin and wont stop execution.
So I have no idea what your host is referring to… CRON on the server or the wp-cron which are different things. The WP cron is like a ‘pretend’ cron where WP does the scheduling. This is getting beyond my knowledge however.
