 * Hi,
 * When wp-simple-firewall is enabled, automatic backups from updraftplus plugin
   stops working.
 * I got an error message telling me that some schedule tasks are in waiting. Here
   is the actual error (sorry it is in french):
 * `Attention: WordPress a un certain nombre de tâches planifiées en retard (7).
   À moins qu'il s'agisse d'un site de test, ceci signifie sans doute que le planificateur
   de votre installation WordPress ne fonctionne pas. Lire cette page pour être 
   guidé(e) parmi les causes possibles et le moyen d'y remédier.`
 * I’ve checked all the mentioned problems here [https://updraftplus.com/faqs/my-scheduled-backups-do-nothing-backup-now-stops-midway/](https://updraftplus.com/faqs/my-scheduled-backups-do-nothing-backup-now-stops-midway/)
   but none of it seems related to my problem.
 * Any ideas which option in your plugin might cause this ?
 * Best Regards

 * I’m curious why you feel that Shield is the cause of this? Are there errors somewhere
   being generated that are pointing to Shield?

 * Hi Paul,
 * Disabling shiled makes the problem disappear, so I figured it might be one of
   the settings in shield that I have enabled that prevent updraftplus or wordpress
   to execute the scheduled tasks.

 * Okay can you take each module of Shield and disable them. Each module has a main
   feature-enablement option.
    Then enable each 1 in turn until this problem occurs.
 * Then once we can find the module, we’re closer to where the conflict lies.
 * Also, do you have any errors in your error_log or in the audit trail that might
   point to this?

 * I am still investigating on this issue. This is really unclear what is causing
   this and it might not be Shield as I firstly thought! Will keep you updated.

 * Hi,
 * Thought you might be interested in an update 🙂
 * The original problem (ie automatic backups from updraftplus not working) had 
   nothing to do with Shield as I first thought!
 * I was due to cron tasks not working at all for my entire site!
 * I had install HTTP/SSL certificates at some point and that makes cron-tasks stop
   working. Thanks to this plugin ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-crontrol/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-crontrol/))
   I was able to monitor cron tasks and it had usefull error messages there.
    The
   main issue seems to be how my provider is handling SSL certificates on his server
   and this generates errors with wp-cron.php (more info here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/curl-error-35-error140770fcssl-routinesssl23_get_server_hellounknown-protoc/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/curl-error-35-error140770fcssl-routinesssl23_get_server_hellounknown-protoc/))
 * Thanks for you good work 🙂
